bar twist

[jbscoot]

I get the motion then the bars hit me in the back of the leg. help.

 

[NinjaScooterer]

Idk bout the back of the leg but i know sometimes when i fuck up i put my hand at an angle like instead of straight i push it down so its almost straight up but not really, get what i mean?

 

[jbscoot]

sort of but not really. try to explain a bit better.

 

[Arnor Smari]

Try tucking your knees up a bit more so you can lean the scooter more to the side. Then your legs should be out of the way

 

[Scott Freibaum]

how wide are your bars?

 

[Darwin.]

lean ur legs back
its just like barspins

 

[jbscoot]

how wide are your bars?

Mi bars are 18 but it also happened with 16s

 

[Scott Freibaum]

you need to twist it farther away

 

[jbscoot]

you need to twist it farther away

Thang I'll try that

Bartwists are supposed to naturally go in front of you right? Like goofy it leans left, regular it leans right. I saw a guy do one the other day and it was like on his backside so I freaked out and thought I'm learning them the wrong way

 

[Scott Freibaum]

I can do them on both sides. It's really just prefrence.

 

[joshpring]

put your hand out waiting for the bartwist to come round so iyou can grab the grip before it hits you leg.

 

[Victor C.]

Tuck more, get the bars out to the side. I can do them flat on 22's.

If you have an old razor or something with like 13-14 wide bars, learn on that. Thats what I first did them on.

 

[tgolovin]

try to push the bars more closer to the ground so you could spin it without hitting your leg

 

[paulleparik]

Keep your toes far out off the deck and just catch the bartwist before you land

 

[joshrb]

its the same balance and timing as a barspin, just lean forward and throw and catch

 

[Jacob Mahon]

take your front foot off so you can get the bars down ONLY WHEN YOUR LEARING looks ugly in vids

[melvin]

i do em backside.
what i did was lean back and pull you legs out of the way

 

[Juan.]

Push the bars further away and when you do, only keep like your toes on the side/end of the deck
