Perform a bunny hop. To begin your tailwhip you have to get off the ground--and a bunny hop will help you. Bend your knees and then jump. When you jump up, pull up on the handle bars so the scooter comes up with you. If you bunny hop properly, you will get a foot or two off the ground.

Whip the tail. Now that you're up in the air, you need to whip the tail of the board. Use your back foot to kick the board so it does a 360 degree spin. When the board completes the spin, place your feet back on the board and land on the ground.
