How to bar spin?

[Gekigengar]

hey guys i really want to know how to bar spin...

i can spin the bar and topple over a bit and totally miss the bar completly on catching it...

i then try to pinch the seat with my knees but then find it that it spins half way and then the front drops and i still miss catching it...


what i really need some pointers on is catching the bar... i can never get it argh!

[DYJK]

well your bars wont spin if your pinching them with your knees...so thats probably why you topple over!

try getting some slams and jamming your seat right down! then learn to barspin!

or...alternative!

Ride slowly along and do them and let them hit the ground before you catch them! so you sort of land no handed! then practice cathing them! Or just dont do them because the new trick of this year is tailwhips!

[Gekigengar]

typO!!! meant to say pinching the seat :D fixed....


tailwhips ... sure... on flat.... why not???? is there already a how to on tailwhipping?

[DYJK]

Yeah there is! just slam the seat once again! make sure your cranks dont spin and wAANg it out and catch with the foot you didnt kick with! or if you use lift and tuck method it should be easy!

No honestly on the barspins make sure your bars spin freely! then try them on flat ground whilst riding slowly! then try spining them so when your wheel hits the ground the bars are almost alined like normal! then try catching them! or Release your bars later, by that i meanhold them until the last point possible to be a barspin.

the main points that will help to barspin are:
1)start out by rolling pretty slow (walking pace) on grass so its soft incase you stak it.
2)get comfortable and pinch the seat before you barspin.
3)lean back a little just enough to get the front wheel of the ground for a few seconds, as the wheel begins to rise hit the bars with your right hand or left which ever feels the best for you. The most important thing to do is to keep your eyes on the bars, as the bars begin to come around to there normal position smoothy catch them.
4)ride away smoothy giggling to yourself like a small school girl.
