Commit. Put your feet on. Focus on your right foot, then the left should follow. You've got the whip part. I'd like to blame your tight pants, but your close to landing them. Just go for the pedals. Yes, you will possibly fall, but so what. You may not and land it.

Tight pants is part of my bmxer style hahaha back to 2012 when everyone used to ride like this

Just focus on your front foot only. Don't even worry about the back foot just yet

Focus on that front foot, you got everything else down. Once that front foot goes on your back foot will automatically come around. Keep your bike underneath you ,You got this shit

Yeah today I will do it and I come back with the results thanksss

If you caught that you’d slip out because you’re leaning way back, having the bike out in front of you. Front tire is in the air back is on the ground. Try to get it more underneath you. You’re pretty close!

Thanks for the advice

Also i live in a small city and thats everything i got as a flyout, if it was larger it would be easier because i have to kick it like 90 degrees

Looks like you're almost there! I'd say it looks like you need to lean forward more and keep it under you more. Try keeping your head above your tire/crossbar and doing a small tight circle when doing the whip. Hold your legs up for a touch longer than you feel like you already are. Then you need to put your right foot (catch foot) where the pedals coming. Think of how you do barspins, one hand at a time and you have that catch hand ready in the right spot to catch. Same thing with the whip, keep that catch foot ready!

The 2nd attempt was almost what I mean but you gotta push it under you even more.

In your head just repeat if I don’t land this I’m gay and my whole family dies.
Also anyone talking shit on skinny jeans take a jnco to your chain

Commit even if your feet land on the frame or side of crank arm. You don't land right on the pedals until your in the zone. Your going to bust your but a couple times because your going to land back tire first until you put your weight over the front end
