STEP 1 Roll up to the ramp with the same speed you’d tackle a bunny hop with. STEP 2 Load up a big hop. STEP 3 As you’re begging your bunny hop, push or flick your deck around with your front foot to initiate the tail whip. The amount of air you have will determine how hard you have to push the deck around. STEP 4 As the tail whip makes its way back around, use your back foot this time to try and catch the deck. Once your back foot is securely on the deck, now all you have to do is put your other foot on and you’ve successfully landed a tail whip. PSST, WANT TO WIN A BRAND NEW GRIT SCOOTER?

MANIA: WHAT’S THE BEST THING ABOUT VOICING VEGETA? CHRIS: “I’m basically voicing the best character in Dragon Ball.

I’D IMAGINE YOU NEED A LOT OF LOZENGES! CHRIS: “I just try and get a good night’s sleep and do some talking in the morning before a session.

IRON MAN FROM: IRON MAN Whether he’s protecting the universe or being at the centre of it, you’ve got to love Tony Stark, his witty responses and his famous red and gold armor. With superhuman strength, rockets and energy repulsors at his disposal, it’s hard to believe that Iron Man’s most powerful tool is actually a magnet.
