So where I’m at now is I understand the steps to a footjam whip. Very similar to learning whips on a scooter for me step kick catch. So where I’m at now is my kicks are getting consistent and there coming all the way around. First clip I had a wonky foot and lost balance as soon as I kicked. Second clip there was I wanna say maybe half a second of balance before I lost it. So I understand the motion and the steps it’s just balance and putting it all together. Any advice or YouTube tutorials. Or anything would be highly appreciated. Thank you all so much for your time much appreciated 🙂
new learn on the way!! Just need some extra tips

Its about balance and getting the bike around quick. Don’t want to lean to much to one side. Try to kick the bike out harder with the right foot.
If you wanna practice getting your balance down, just practice foot jams and see how long you can keep the bike balanced on the front tire. Dont bother with the whip.
Practice is the key
Practice foot jam endos first. Establish balance first
Don’t put your foot over the top tube and whip the other way
Learning by putting your foot over first can stunt you in doing it for real. Practice going up on the nose and then bringing your front foot, over the frame and onto the front tire
The way I used to do them was bunnyhop into a footjam but whip the frame with your leg before you get your foot in.. then balance on the front wheel while the frame whips back around and jump back on to catch pedals.. I don’t think you’re gonna be able to catch them the way you’re doing them because of physics.
Put all your weight on the foot on the tire.
