tapping would be just pushing your spin with only using your hands, no leg movement.

whipping would be the act of "whipping" your legs to get your spin going.

i could be wrong, i can't do headspins but i think thats how it goes...

here's a video form the bboy.org dvd....

HEADSPINS!

when ur whipping you have to be able to use your hips. i used to think it was all in the legs but to be able to get a good spin you have to be able to twist your hips strong enough to get the momentum going. my headspins are still crap but using my hips is still enough to get my spins going.

Whipping your legs will make you lose balance more easily. Tapping is good to start by for beginners.

Actually, ur whip comes from ur legs, the hips u need for balance to stay up....

theres ways u can get 2 whips per round, but i wont go into that

The whips comes from the legs....but u need to kick both(which rotates ur hips) its not like airflares where if ur hips go ur legs will go, u wanna whip both legs n that turns ur hips...u dont wanna try moving ur hips n have ur legs play catch up...u get less force

as for tapping without whipping, LOCK ur hips n legs in one position and dont let them move...TAP as much as u can, go slow at first than pick up speed, but as u pick up speed ur gonna notice ur legs are playing catch up to ur body ....which causes u to whip eventualy..

check this one in the gallery...

watch the legs, thats what causes u to whip, ull see when he starts to go without hands he locks his hips n legs keep going with body, thats the key to balance, everything to go at once...

the floor on this one sux, the helmet moves causing a wobble but it demonstrates the whip

You have to tap while whipping... You tap to go faster once you can't control your hips.

Thats not entirely true, u do start off that way but there is ways to whip ur legs without tapping.

u may start off close to the same time, but ur whip comes shortly after uve already put ur hands down
