pop more upwards and go faster that might help but if not just practice the motion on the tramp to get a better sense of the rotation. oh, an trick tip cult might help too.

Your momentum is actually wrong on this occassion.

You seem to be so tense about flipping, you're pretty much stopping on the inrun. So I'd recommend going a bit faster, and lean forward a bit more, to set the spin a bit harder, you seem to be really crunching hard. Get over the noses when as you initiate the flip.

go faster so you can get more pop and whip out of your rotation. and when you come around put your feet down and stomp it cuz your landing pretty hard on your ass/backseat everytime so make sure you put your feet down and stomp that shit out nice.

I think you're popping a little bit too soon which is taking away from your height, go a bit faster, and pop a bit higher (up) right at the lip, and commit - don't open too soon, once you tuck stay tucked till your feet are all the way back under you.

Sorry, Brah. Can't do much help without actually 'being there' to help you out. But here's a sweet link with some Aussies teaching you how to do a tailwhip on a scooter! :D

1  WAAYYY to early.  at :04, look where you started your flip.  Your ski popped off a whole ski length away from the top.  With a small tranny its more difficult.  
2 I am assuming your doing the leg kick.  I try to kick my leg at the very top of the jump. 
3 Look at skiers in :23 when they kick their leg to begin the  flip. 
4 because you are so damn early, you loose all your speed and all the lift on the jump.  Again the skiers in :23, because they flip at they very top, they land much further down.
5 More speed will help, but I would be careful because, the tranny is short enough as it is.
