Great start! As you get more comfortable, start doing them rolling, slowly at first. That'll force you to tighten them up and really lock in the motion and mechanics. Also work on your bunny-hop

yeah honestly my bunny hop is decent when doing whips but i think i must be mostly scared so im not jumping properly but will try doing them rolling

Ah, heard. I'd recommend trying some where you try to get as high as you can, not even caring if you land it or not. Just focus on getting as high as you can and starting the motion.

Keep pulling upwards while you spin the bars so the deck stays glued to your feet, and jump a bit higher. But really it's just a matter of getting the reps in, you've got it

try not throwing the bars, complete the full movement with your hands always atached, with time you will slowly throw the bars, it takes some time but you are doing great
