just do whatever feels natural to you, dont try to force anything. like practice whipping the back wheel out or tweaking the bars, you can add those into almost anything. table tops too

in that pic it looks like ur doing the opposite of a traditional tweak/style, in that shouldn't the wheel be pointing towards the rigth side of the pic, compared to the way the rest of the bike is angled. atleast thats how its usually done

all your mental armor drags me down

People will instinctively do more good if they know they will get credit for it.

Style in your jumps is trademark. do what feals right and just practice. Super T's tweakage is known everywhere.

first practice turning the bar. its important that however you land that your front wheel is perpindicular (or close to it) to the ground. two reasons: A) theres a less chance you'll snap your POS dj3 and B) evidently you wont fall over to the side and cause bodily harm

once you got that down (you can do that on little jumps), practice whippin out the rear end. here is a step by step easy way to do some whippage:

1) do your bar turn that you've vividly practiced prior to attempting whippage
2) kick out the bike which ever way is easier for you. if you're right handed, you usually whip it out to the left side. if you're one of those left handed freaks, you'll whip to the right.
3) to kick out the bike, use your hips and legs to push the bike over to the side. make sure you dont push it to far or you will biff and you'll be the laughing stock of the local dj's
4)once you get the bike back in order, land. this is usually done for you courtesy earth's gravity

now that you've mastered these two stunning peices of art, perfect it and become more smooth with the motions of whippage and bar turnage. kudos. you can tweak. throw in a look back once in a while to wink at the chick whos always watching you jump

now run along and go tweak

follow my indepth instructions seen above, but when you're whippin the ass end out, lean to the opposite side you whip. this will tip the bike over.

I find you gotta flow with the jump and do what feels natural..

For tables I usually just turn my bars and kind of push down? You can really explain how to do tricks, they just kind of happen.

use your arms and hips for tabletops…..you wanna basically just force the bike sideways and twist your hips to accomodate the change in bike position

yes i still ride a bike…rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated
