You explained this really well! Coming from mountain biking, I was unsure how similar whipping a dirt bike would to a mtb considering a mtb is 1/5 your weight and a dirt bike is heavier than you. You made this very simple and easy to understand. I'm going to take these tips to the track! Thanks!
OMG!! FINALLY someone explains this in the simplest way. I've watched countless vids and been tentatively trying this but all the time thinking ...it cant be that technical can it? This is a great starting point to safely developing this skill - thanks for a great explanation!
@@RatchetGamingNation I only tried it a couple of times but I ended up fracturing my shoulder (not doing this but went over the bars on a downhill) ….8 months later Im still not back on the bike
1000% on the part about landing on the gas!!! Super important! I used to be a super timid rider (still am but I'm better). Every time I inevitably got a bit sideways in the air I'd get scared, land with no throttle, and crash. Don't get scared! Grab a hand full of throttle and 97 times out of 100 it'll pull you through. I've never learned how to whip but I can't wait to try this! I now have many years practicing landing sideways so I think I'm good. Thanks!
Thank you Tyler, this video has really helped I have only been trying to learn to whip for a week and am already seeing results! The feeling loose in the air could not be more true. I have even been throwing my inside leg out a little bit and it is helping. Once again thanks a lot.
After figuring out to do moto whips on a Bmx, this is literally explained it so well. Same motions and feeling on the lip. I’m gonna show this to many people that wonder ask me how to whip
Back in 07 I was breaking in a new bike and was trying to whip and I tensed up it like a mental block land short and I squeezed my knees to tight and on the gas I crashed and broke my tibia and snapped my acl so bad that it didn’t tear but ripped of the bone where it connects! The docs got me hooked on pain meds bc of their botched surgeries! Hardest thing I’ve ever done was as getting sober! So listen guys he knows what he’s talking about!
Tyler! Thanks to God you've back. Shit, man, I thought you went out. Last couple of videos you seemed depressed and it was so sorry to see your condition
I don’t understand the physics of how the backend is starting to come around, but then this switches and the front end then regains the lead and the back end falls back into line. Can someone explain?
Just wondering because I'm newish to riding but you say grip with your knees how do you do that without it being to tense to let the bike continue it's movements
'Grab it as you land' is my understanding. You'd probably hit the rev limiter if you just kept the throttle as it was when you hit the jump, while you're still in the air. When I do any jump, I let off the throttle at 'launch' and start to bring it (throttle) back up, right before I land, so that when I'm hitting the landing area I'm NOT neutral, need to have that engine pushing the machine, the way bikes are engineered that not too many talk about is that they 'want' to or are inclined to straighten the front wheel while under power ( also to a slightly lesser extent when coasting), when you land under power, you are encouraging the geometry of the bike to straighten out. Another thing that tends to keep the front wheel straight, as in sliding down a hill is back brake, whether actual brake or engine braking, that has a huge influence on straightening out the front wheel while going downhill, coasting however, can be an absolute disaster.
I’m confident enough to whip the bike, but i am afraid about it not being able to return straight. how do you let the bike come back to forward position?
Is it safe to brake tap in the middle of a whip. Like if you feel you’re going very nose high but you’re already in the whip. I’ve started doing small/medium size whips and I brake tapped once because I was a little nose high and worked out ok. But I’m curious if I got lucky or not
I have a question so when I’m in the air side ways do I have to correct the bike I’m the air with my body or will the bike correct itself with the centrifugal force of the motor and wheels?
What i saw in mxgp, if they do not a whip to the fully extend with shifting weight and run curves to the face of the jump, they give a short strike, an impact to the handlebars to one side an going back, to a least give it a little lean angle. That can be seen on a bunch of riders.
I think that’s more of a scrub if you’re talking about smaller sized jumps. Usually when I see that they’re trying to keep the suspension from releasing and springing the bike higher in the air. I’ve been dabbling around with trying to learn that since I mostly ride woods and don’t need it on big jumps but being able to do those little scrubs and get the tires back on the ground would be a good skill to have.
Hey enjoyed the whip video Is the whip used to slow your landing speed or the height u might get if u don’t whip Ps I’m from the land down under loving your channel 👍❤️🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇺🇸
What are we doing with the throttle in the air? Staying in the throttle or letting off the throttle on the face and then getting back on the throttle to bring the bike back straight?
im confused. you say let the bike do its thing but then you say at the first attempts youre gonna land sideways. so i guess im doing some corrections as i become more familiar or its a matter of precise lean angle at the face of the jump?
Most important when jumping, whether whipping or not, is to be neutral on the takeoff which means your body weight is centered with the bike weight wise. Centre of bike weight wise is not the middle of the bike but more in line with the engine cylinder (if you were to put your bike on a pendulum). Stay relaxed like Tyler says and let the giro effect bring you back. That’s where the term ‘rolling up the windows’ comes from, the person left the jump off balance

@@SEILLC jumps infront of big downhills are ideal for practicing any kind of tricks, you can hit it slow without coming up short or pin it without the chance of overshooting the landing, more comfortable you get the faster you can hit it which in return means more air time to perfect the whip 🤘

It’s all in the gyro of the bike. Smaller whips don’t typically require a rev but once you thrown it bigger you need to spin the back tire faster to shoot it back straight if you know what one saying. But once you can start throwing them big you’d probably have better bike feel and know what to do

Whips and break taps have got to be the two most common questions for those I come across attempting to ride at the track and jump.
Ever since i was a kid i was amazed at guys doing whips on bikes.. well im 23 now and i just got my first dirt bike. Cheers to living out your dreams!
I swear Tyler you have brought me a long way in motocross and i want to thank you so much!!!

I don’t understand the physics of how the backend is starting to come around, but then this switches and the front end then regains the lead and the back end falls back into line. Can someone explain?
The bike basically turns into a gyroscope, you can move it around along the axis of rotation.
You will literally feel the wheels spinning in the air when you do it right
Just wondering because I'm newish to riding but you say grip with your knees how do you do that without it being to tense to let the bike continue it's movements
Excellent content!

Can you do an oppo whip tutorial? There isnt any on youtube
This is the last thing I need to learn, but the ONLY thing I want to know.
First I have to learn how to jump higher then two feet....LOL
Do you push the bike back with youre legg? Or is it that te bike do it by himself and you not have to push it back to straight position?
I’m confident enough to whip the bike, but i am afraid about it not being able to return straight. how do you let the bike come back to forward position?
Nice video, but I have a question, I try to jump and fall on the gas, but my bike go to the back, what can I do?
This is so weird, but it works! No counter steering, just shift the shoulders over. Now I just need to get more flick in my whip.
How big of a jump do you need to practice? I ride mostly the vet track at Fox raceway.
So what I’m hearing, stay relaxed, lean to one side, land sideways and wipe out. After a couple wrecks you’ll learn how to land .
Is it safe to brake tap in the middle of a whip. Like if you feel you’re going very nose high but you’re already in the whip. I’ve started doing small/medium size whips and I brake tapped once because I was a little nose high and worked out ok. But I’m curious if I got lucky or not

@@Ilydexter oh alright thank you I do trail riding so I’ve never really hit jumps like that
I wish i could like this 10 times

i learned by just sending it
I need one of those bikes 😍
How do you move the bike to go back to natural position
Lean into the direction of the whip. It's basically a gyroscope effect, it will feel effortless.
But how the bike goes straight back in the air?
If done correctly like Tyler is teaching the Bike will naturally flow back under you.

What’s the intro song
Hey enjoyed the whip video
Is the whip used to slow your landing speed or the height u might get if u don’t whip
Ps I’m from the land down under loving your channel 👍❤️🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇺🇸
Whips are to look cool and thats it. Scrubs are to stay low and get the power to the ground faster then regular jumping
When you land sideways, is it better to land front or back wheel first?
Both at the same time if possible
What are we doing with the throttle in the air? Staying in the throttle or letting off the throttle on the face and then getting back on the throttle to bring the bike back straight?
Throttle=nose up, Brake=nose down. On landing=full throttle.
im confused. you say let the bike do its thing but then you say at the first attempts youre gonna land sideways. so i guess im doing some corrections as i become more familiar or its a matter of precise lean angle at the face of the jump?
Can we get a how to OPPO?
Can you break tap if needed when u in a whip
Wondering the same thing
pretty sure if u break tap its not gonna let ur bike straighten out.
It will definitely slow momentum of bike moving back under you. You shouldn’t be whipping if you can jump level first. Good luck!
Wow I've been trying for years to whip. I would go off straight then push the handle bars over and it would never work lol.
Mainly wanted to learn this to scrub jump height and get back on the ground faster. You will lose speed in the air and slow down your lap times.
But how do you turn the bike in the air and back that’s what I’m stuck on or when you move to your preferred side is that how it turns??? Somone help
Lean into the whip to straighten out
Sick!
Fully sic mate cheers
Thanks!
how do i pull it back? does it just flow naturally back?

Exactly the bigger the jump the easier to get back straight.
@@TheMxFactory So in other words; man the fuck up?
