Ok, I have seen countless of posts about how to barspin so today I tryed to actually feel how I do them...
First of all, they are easyest to learn on a flyout. This is also one of thoose
tricks that some people can do right away and that takes some people forever to learn (myself included)!
There is 1 key elemnt to this trick (the way I do it) and that's pinching your pedals/crank's with your feet, it's kind of hard to explain so just have that in mind and find yourself a position where YOU feel you have a good grip on your bike! As I said THIS IS THE KEY-PART to this trick!!!!!
1) Pop of as usual from the fly out, do NOT pop with everything you got as this will only make your front wheel going WAY to high for a beginner!
2) while in the air DO NOT stress and through the bars right away, you have to sort of wait for the right moment (you will feel this)
3) through the bars with one hand (in my case the right hand) while you are pinching the crank's/pedals with your shoes (In the beginning it's easyest to hold the footposition from before you enter the ramp)! This is the tricky part!
4)let the bars spin and DO NOT JUMP OFF IN PANIC! Most people (again myself included, panics the first couple of times and jumps off at this moment)
5) catch the bars with the non-throughing hand (in my case the left hand) this is pretty tricky and is something you can test and work on vail standing still before actually doing a barspin air!
6) Put your other hand on, land and ride away!
That is the step by step how to barspin without pinching the seat (witch most people have way to low for actuually pinching thease days)!
