So Brian Blyther invented the tailwhip.....

[WizardWeb]

Jeff Carroll did the first no handerss at upland. I remember it from BMX Plus ! (that was the only mag I could get consistantly back then)

But it's gotten away from my original question  Has Blyther ever done a tailwhip air?

I'm good, dude!
Everyone around me is fallin' apart though - but nothin' serious. Dad's not well in hospital - leaving to visit him now - and Aileens recovering from bust achilles!

I'm pretty sure I was the first English rider to learn tailwhip airs.
(Much respect to Mr. Atkins though... top rider!)
The only other riders that where doing them on vert at the time were Joe and I think Gary Pollack.
That was the summer of '89.

mark was doing them in contests in mid july 89

Uplands combi pool with 4ft of vert and pool coping

DOMINGUEZ DID THE FLY OUT ONE IN THE PIPELINE TOO , 86 I THINK ...

Thats the one. Out of the combi pool at Pipeline skatepark, Uplands.
I went to Uplands in 1991, shame the original pipeline park got bulldozed in 1988. Doh! 

not suprised they bulldozed the combi pool...that thing is hideous.

[Lee Reynolds]

I guess we were both doing them about the same time then.
Awesome.
I hear Mark is shredding again!

Yeah, Blyther invented the flatland verion then known as "tailspin" in the UK and "framewhip" in the US--later known as tailwhip-- a mix of the 2.

" Did you invent the tailwhip dude ? " 

[Bettyswallocks]

Bob Morales was doing tail whips on the ground in 83.
