whip problems

Remember once your wheels leave terra firma you travel in a straight line not a curve so you should have lined up before both wheels are off the ground.

so i have this habit that I cant whip without carving alot and i keep landing on the side of the jumps,this doesn't happen on hips for some reason,when i try to whip like this>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpBMfAohSJI,it doesn't happen, i hate whipping like that because i cant get that bike straight again 

 

Because that is not a whip in the video- it is called scrubbing, and although what is in the vid takes skill.

It's not quite as good as it gets...
