I have been watching a bit of dirtbiking and admiring the dialed whips riders are pulling these days and actually getting inverted. I'm thinking this probably isn't possible on a bicycle because of the lack of centrifical force in the wheels and the fact that we far outweigh the bike and as such can't really hang off of it while sideways and flat. Does anyone have pics otherwise? I know people can get the bike flat with a tweaked table, and sideways with a crossup, but combining both seems pretty damn elusive for a pedal bike. The closest I've seen I think is Rennie in a video dirtjumping. Anyhow here is my weak attempt on a step up jump. Post your weak or not so weak attempt or thoughts on the matter.

And here is a corner I made just for the hell of it.... you can see the lip of the stepup by my head.

I think the trick to getting sideways on a bike is that you can't bring it all the way back. You just have to land a bit sideways. As long as the front wheel's straight, the back can be pretty whipped out and you'll still land OK.

Try looking out to the opposite side your back end is going as you whip.

I dunno, I think Vanderham has got whips down pretty well....

I love the Euro style whips like the ones Bryn Atkinson does, where the bike is like sideways, and they pull up the bike with there legs and the front end is dumped, much like the ones tsage is doing in the 2six trailer.

I dont know if that qualifys as a whip or a table...

Whips are fun.


not really sure what to call this one though...

not a really big whip, but a nice pic courtesy of T-pirate

I've found that you can really throw it out hard by starting the motion before you even take off, while on the lip. Already be leaning over some and get ready to just braap it out there and straighten up and pull it back straight to land.

hes going that way -------->

 

[sayndesyn]

That's a table, side needs to be kicked out for a whip.

[sayndesyn]

atrokz posted what I was looking for. I have no problem kicking it sideways, it's sideways AND flat that I've found hard. Just kicking the rear to one side is pretty easy, but I'm not sure if that is a whip? I think I've been calling them cross ups. Maybe an old term..

Like this:

i find that inorder to have it look somewhat like a moto whip, you need to do it like a moto whip (turned hips, started before takeoff), and really muscle the bike around, its not gonna get that way by itself

My favorite all time whip has to be the one of Jordie Lunn on the E13 poster, anyone have a pic of that online?

 

[wydopen]

neither...

 

[dG video]

neither...

Then what is it?

 

[motomike]

I guess this one is pretty cool...

 

[sayndesyn]

Only 1 is a whip but I figured I might as well post a few more pics from my new riding spot since I haven't put any pics on this site in ages.

Semi whipped...

Not whipped...

And lastly a hip

 

[sayndesyn]

He's busting your balls cause it wasn't flat. Just call it mad style. When in doubt style it out... ha

Then what is it?

[haromtnbiker]

My best whip...

 

[escapeartist]

Let me be the first to say that Motomike is the whip king. Manimal actually called him "Lando" for a while symbolic for Land-o-Lakes Whipped Butter.

That's a table, side needs to be kicked out for a whip.

I see more of an un-turndown/table hybrid but not really either and definitely not a whip.

Here's one I really like, it's Carlin at Ellwood. I like how the front wheel is below the rear and the bike is hipped perfectly to match the landing. The jump is a ~20° hip, SB peeps will recognize it.

 

[black noise]

Has anyone seen Earthed 3? That guy with the crazy euro name in the Les Gets extras does a sick whip, about 90˚ out and then tables it before bringing back in.

i've done this same jump. it is so hard to boost like he is in the pic. so sick

 

[Mattoid]

Snap . Try not to confuse a table and a whip. I suppose it is hard to tell in a still picture though.

No whip, but a clicked invert table by Mitch...

 

[snoopz666]

I :love: his whips, seriously

mmm vanderwhip

 

[Smelly]

this thread rocks. keep the pics comin...

 

[jon-boy]

I totally agree. There's something about whipping the bike that's universally stylish and it feels damned good too when you land one smooth.

 

[.:Jeenyus:.]

A friends whip

 

[Mike Buell]

I guess this one is pretty cool...

Yeah but thats off a hip not a strait jump, that changes things.

 

[Mike Buell]

I got a good one, but how do you post the pic right on the page without making it an attachment, I for some reason can't figure it out.
