Make sure you search the forums first

But make sure you hop then spin and catch (practise on the ground first to get the motion)

To help me i just sat my scooter over the edge of a quater pipe and practiced throwing and catching the bars heaps, then dropped in and tried it off a ramp.

im gunna go ahead and explain exactly how to throw it since a lot of people dont know how to even throw the barspin.

assuming that you throw it clockwise like i do:

1.let go wtih left hand
2.start turning bars with your right hand, holding on until the bar is at about 90 degrees
3.move your left hand in between your body and your right hand.
4. catch grip with your left hand
5. put right hand back on
6. land <3

Try getting a flicking motion with your wrists. Like whatever one is doing the throwing just flick it backwards. For me it helps to jam my feet at the front and then u got some room to straiten your legs in the air.
