Dave McLaughlin gets em well past 90 on his DH bike... on dirt jumps. Try and find some footage from the final Red Bull Ride (there is some stuff in Drift 2), he throws it out waaay past 90 with ease.

i was riding a foam pit yesterday... and believe it or not trying whips came to mind and i haven't even noticed this thread until... well now! but anyways i look at doing moto style whips as going of the lip in a backflip type motion with a turn to it and then shifting your body weight to bring it back also leaning over the bars to the left or right. still very hard to do:mumble: . i think i will just stick to doing upright whips and then doing a flatty when i get to about 75-80 degrees!

YEAH that's what I'm talking about!
Sorry. I'm a motocrosser and it's pretty much my only trick. Doing a "kick-out" and using your hips and legs to get the bike past 90 degrees is easy, but that's not a moto-whip. I leave the jump at an angle and drop my low side hip down and let my body drop down. The bike goes in a rolling motion, over, flat, out, and back. In my photo, the handle bar is touching my ankle.sleepinggiant said:
In a table top, the motion is to try to stick your top side handlebar end into your arm pit.
Dude, I know the difference and I'm not trying to hate or anything, I just found it amusing that you felt like complimenting yourself.TWISTED said:
BTW, theres no way the bar it touching your ankle. Mainly, it's not phyhsically possible without removing your foot from the pedal, and, you can see in the pic that the bar is hitting your knee.
:droooool:snoopz666 said:mmm vanderwhip
he is so whipped its like he decided to do a 180, said f'it, stopped at 90, and then went back.
mmm I like this one
yeah, Whacka throws it down in that vid. I retract my earlier statement, that guy throws probably the sickest "whip". He really does sling it out, you gotta see it to appreciate it. A lot of guys just kind of rotate their whips but he really does throw it out there.thaflyinfatman said:
I second that... Anyone know where in Cali that is? I'm heading west this summer..Bicyclist said:
Had to show you guys this whip!!! This is the new thing around here.... What the He!! are they thinking????
what are people thinking when they make a song about wearing diamonds and drinking champagne.. suspend your mind
I think thats the UBER secret spot in San Diego. Its been in a few videos, I think it was synopsis but it might have been Earthed 2.sayndesyn said:
I know it was in Earthed2, can't remember if it was in synopsis or not.. Time to get out Google Earth.. I found my old jump spot in Durango with satellite photos, pretty cool way to scope out new riding areas. Find the coordinates, punch it into your gps and go.
worked on my whip a bit..
OK, I ride right foot forward, I hip/whip/table to the left...but in all the big whips, the riders are same foot position, but whipped out to the right. I can't do that. It's like having sex with chickens, it'll just never feel right. I know Vanderham can hip/whip/table both directions, but goes right when he whips hard. Do you gotta go unnatural to whip it big?
HOw did one of my photos get on photobucket is what i wan tto know.Bicyclist said:
wait till you see the next decline some more whip action but this time from 2x neethlings. Andrew has a younger bro with as deadly a whip
Does this qualify...kinda-whipped-x-up-thing

I think that is the norm because I am the same way. When I hip left the rear kicks out to the right, kinda like a whip.
I'm working on it...
jordie "the manimal" lunn has one of the greatest whips i have seen. he hangs it out for so long, you think he won't be able to stick the landing.
Those are sick but its a wee bit different when you've got 300ibs of inertia force to work with where as a bike only has 40ish.MX489 said:
I remember being at some awards banquet 2 years ago for some extreme sports crap, Renner was trying hard to pick up April L., Leigh talked her into NOT going out with him....denied.MX489 said:

Past 90* scotty boy!!SPrider said:me whippin
Actually I'm trying to sell it so I can start my own record label. I have some really fresh things to say about clubs, women, and big rims that I don't think has been said. I figure if I rap about being rich then people will buy the album and then I'll be rich. Fawkin wankers. And yes I will wear a bullet proof vest on my album cover.partsbara said:you need to sell that ktm and buy a grill and a case of crystal biatccchhh

same jump..
oh that's nice... :hot:Dhracer3 said:
same jump..
Gerrit Bertagh? or however you spell his name..
anyone have links to videos, whips pictures are cool, but i think to really appreciate the mad steez we need some footage
Renner is the king of whips, but he is also one of the most arrogant assholes on the face of the earth. They should shoot him next time he does his little act in a fmx event.
