It's pretty similar to a whip. The main difference is you want to start your lean lower on the jump.

Lean over sooner, and when you get around the top, flick the bars the other way. The rest is a matter of slowing your momentum (lean forward, lean up), and do it in a fashion that won't overrotate you for the landing. Takes a little practice though.

Eh. It took me about 15 minutes to learn how to do it, a couple hours until I could ride and do it at the same time.

These riding Gods get really old really fast. I mean, how on Earth am I supposed to compete with someone who's got a fifteen-minute learning curve on one of the most advanced maneuvers in motorcycle racing? With that said, the best advice surely is to just pratice like mad. Obviously, the professionals don't go straight to full-fledged handlebah-in-die-dirt scrubs, so there's no real imperitive for any of us to try to do so. Everyone has to start small and work their way up, Stephen King had to pass first-grade before he got where he is now.
