Yeah, it does. I can whip/kickout/whatever the bike like that, but I sure as hell can't pull it back!
So if we're being pedantic, would a whip be - turning on takeoff, bike and body both turned the same way (and bars), then brought back straight in a big long s shaped motion? Does the bike have to be upright or laid down for it to be a whip?
imo carve up the take off so the back of the bike is travelling up and over rather than around to start with front end lower than the back (this is very important!!) and then dropping around to being sideways near the end just before coming back straight or near as and landing front first to finsh straightening it out, there's a sequence pic of bubba doing a whip on the net somewhere, shows it perfectly!
