Oh god it's so hard to resist the BMXBoard catch phrases....

Boy im glad i have nothing to do with bmxboard. Sorry can't help you, i can't barspin, yet

KinetikBiker

I wish i could help you. But i don't even like barspins so i've never tried learning them.

premiumbmx2005

i dont know what yoyu need help with.

if you hit your knees kind of lean over the bars. it sounds weird but it works.

FitRider 921

They don't like you either.

Edit: Don't you have slams? that could make barspins a bit more difficult for you...

KinetikBiker

Actually, i was doing some into the foam pits at Woodard, and they aren't too bad with uncut Slams. Untill i missed one and gutted myself. (I never took them to the resi or Lot 8 box...)

FitRider 921

I remember my uncut bars were pretty hard to get around and I know they were nothing like slams and I have quite a bit of room with my toptube.

FlyBikes21

yeah it helps but not like that drasticly(sp).

FitRider 921

It does when you have a short toptube.

FlyBikes21

how short do you consider it be for it to really help?

KinetikBiker

I think the big bars help with some tricks to be honest. Like X-ups are easier to click along with making tobaggans (sp?) look better and i think they make turndowns easier...

FitRider 921

Short for whoever is riding the bike.

FlyBikes21

I just wanted you all to know that i got some new edwin bars, cut them down, and parcticed now i can land barspins perfectly!!!! yesss
I'll post pics or something

Congrats. I'm going to try to learn hop barspins next summer, I can't make any progress on tricks when it's cold like this.

180* Barspins for me next season.

On that note, I need a new helmet.

FlyBikes21

I live in California its season all year long.
and I also need a new helmet I through mine off the top of our local 6 level parking garage.
Then spit water on it from the top, fun!

FitRider 921

Sick. I'm too scared to try them. I want new bars. The Colonys and the Sundays look pretty appetising.
I want to learn hop bars when I start riding again.

FitRider 921

That's a disaster waiting to happen. I don't think I will ever even attempt them.

FlyBikes21

practice practice practice.

FitRider 921

Only if a new year means a new leg as well. On another note, my baseball coach is really pissed that I'm not going to be playing baseball this year. He said that if it is possible, that I can just pitch and not have to run or do anything else but pitch. I don't even have to tryout or anything. But he was going to choke me today when I told him it's going to be a few more months until I get my leg brace off. It's really funny. But sad. This has nothing to do with practice. I'm just tired and my alcoholic mother is running around yelling and being annoying and crying. Odd.

wethepeople

Nah, but I'll start doing them into disasters after I'm comfortable with them.

I just wear my helmet anytime I try to learn anything like that.

FitRider 921

I don't even have a helmet. That would be really scary to do down some steps. Ouch.

180* barspins are almost easier than normal. BUT, make sure that you throw the bars the opposite way you spin. That helps alot, same with 180's out of wallrides. Spin the opposite direction you got on the wall.

If you went up the left, spin off to the right.

FitRider 921

Isn't that like common sense though. Although I don't see how 180 barspins would be easier than normal because you'd be spinning the bars the opposite of the way you're spinning you're bike so it should make it harder just from that. It's also pretty hard to spin the same way that you got into a wallride.
