It'd be rude not to- if you have enough air that is. Chinning yourself isnt a good look ๐Ÿ˜‰

I don't ever do a full X-up but I always have to tweak the bars to feel comfortable in the air for some reason. People that know my riding know that I'm scared doing a drop or jump if turn the bars in the air ๐Ÿ˜€

Twiddling something just feels nice.

Make sure you get your elbows nice and wide and your knees out like you're taking a dump for full 'style' points.
If your elbows don't touch it's a bar tweak....do it proper like or not at all.
One footed or euro tables for the win :0)

I always try to tabletop but still not having much luck getting closer to flat with them. I find it too hard to twist my hand round the grip and push it into my armpit. Getting alright at whips though ๐Ÿ™‚
