How do it
180 tailwhip is the next step after getting your feet wet with the tailwhip and spins. You perform a whip while turning 180, catch it and exit the fakie.
1.
Put a soft spin on your jump. Your rotation axis should be (somewhat) similar to a tap entry.
2.
Begin bringing out the whip right after liftoff, it’ll give you the tension you need to execute a fast, controlled whip.
3.
Afterwards just follow the tailwhip formula.
4.
If your execution is clean and correct, the tailwhip will reach your front leg at the peak of the jump.
5.
When landing, keep an eye on the foot on the crank — if it slips off and goes under the frame, it will hurt. A LOT.
