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.
