MX whip


To throw a whip in motocross it takes years of practice. A whip is when a rider comes up a jump and then at the face of the take off changes the direction of their momentum. They then throw the back end of the bike out and lay it down sideways. It takes years to develop the bike handling skills to know how to bring it back and put all the other elements of the jump together. This professional rider throws a huge whip in this pic.
