Barspin?

[AnthonyPellino]

Hi, I can do most good tricks like 540's 6 set whips, but I can't catch a barspin. My feet fall off the scooter when I try. I catch the bars, but my feet just fly away. Any tips on how to keep my feet on the deck.

Spin it quick and early.When I say early, I mean while your going upwards so the scooter keeps on travelling up with you.

i just learnt barspins and i think itÃ?Æ?Ã?â??Ã?¢ââ??¬Ã?¡Ã?Æ?ââ?¬Å¡Ã?â??Ã?´s easier if you let one hand on the bars till you almost got half of the spin and then let it spin the rest and catch it with the other hand and as dom said do them quick and early

I've always heard to put your scooter halfway off a curb and then spin your bars and practice catching them. I couldn't do barspins for so long, and then one day catching them just came naturally. I would try the curb thing though.

i just learned them i find that if u pull up right before u spin it helps keep the deck under u a lil

make sure your in the air before you do it, like wait until your peak to throw the bars, and like danny said, practice just standing with your scooter and catching the bars

exactly, i kinda do it like a late bar catch

 

[danielwarwick]

I think the best way to learn is to hold the scooter like a foot above the ground in between your legs and then throw the barspin and work on catching it straight.

When I was trying bar to whips I'd always loose the scooter when I was doing the bar so I tried to bring it around more with my hand THEN let go.
So try that too, its like learning bar spins again if your doing stuff out of quarter pipes.
I'm sure you will be able to learn fast though

like most ppl say.....

do them kinda late....but put it this way if ur feet and stuff spin out....why not bar the rotate a bit and bar whip everytime?

 

[Pete Pachota]

Follow this logical order:
1.Jump
2.Throw the bars
3.Catch them
4.Land

Sounds obviously but it's not. Throwing the bars in the moment of taking off, when what you really need to do is to pull them up is pointless. So if you are sure 'you have lift off' it's high time you threw the bars.


... AND practice.

Thanks guys, This will probably help.

yeah thats how i learned i would just stand and practice spinning the bars with just my hands...and now its like a everytime thing, i would suggest that..

It's hard really to try and tell someone the CORRECT way of doing a trick, as everyone has there own way, and thus has and creates their own style, so all you need is the base of the trick, then you need to go and practice, so as not to emulate those on the forum and create your own style for yourself.

throw with one hand catch with other

Yeah, thats what I cal the hand-to-hand barspin. Thats my way of doing it, it is helpful with 180bar and truckdriver.
