Mike demonstrates how to step it up
Name: Whip How it’s done: One of the more common tricks, the whip is a variation on the classic motocross “cross up”. Simply put, when a rider “whips” his bike, he literally guides contorts it so that it lays as flat as a pancake when in peak flight. The flatter the better. Though not as flashy as some of the other tricks, a good whip is duly noted by even the core riders in the supercross/motocross community.
