That NZ pic is sweet. Bloody nice scenery. I'd like to see an inverted table like that one in slo mo. Notice his feet had to come off the pedals to click it up that much..
I think Minnaar is about the only guy in MTB who can get close to a "moto style" whip. This pic is a straight whip but shows the absolute 90* angle.
The eastcoast does the best DH whips. Ebbot, GR, and Chase and mr Seth Lolli all get them pretty much 90degrees. I think George is probally the whip king right now, I think it's in some Nema marketing materials where he is getting full on upside down. The key to good inverted moto whips is a hip.
Straight jumps are easy to get clicked on, whips are pretty much my only trick.

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.
I got a few more of Ellwood
such a sick riding spot. I wish I had ANY real jumps here. Nobody fawkin dirt jumps in Maine apparently..
T Sage killign it

The notorious "Bubba Scrub."
Nope, he isn't falling, he can table flat over the surface of the jump.

looks so comfortable flying there 6 inches from the dirt at 80 mph. totally disgusting
There are moto-whips, tabletops, and kick-outs. All three are different. Here's a couple old photos of me on my Mountain Cycle San Andreas (yes, that is a bicycle) doing a moto whip, just like I do on my CRF 250r. Can you tell I grew up racing motocross?
Braaaaaaaaaap! Bubba isn't going close to 80mph in that pic though...
"Schwinnson" whipping it out.
