you have toe overlap with a 650c front?
…that is some tight geometry!

I'm guessing the overlap happens when the fork is reversed

on the returning half of the bar spin, there is over lap if you arent at the right part of the crank rotation.

try using a smaller cage, like run a md if you normally run a lrg. just a suggestion, no need for everyone to riot now.

I just found out yesterday that a pista with a 23 on a 700c can do barspins. I had a barspinning fiesta

There will more than likely be overlap always. Just put your feet at 12 and 6 - I've got 170 cranks on my angus and can still do them with ease...

*it's easy to learn them by rolling backwards first so your overlap is even more obsolete...

i meant, of the toe overlap and the falling.

go do it again, this time with a camera. do it a few times, and choose the best shot.
