But then again why do BMX and skateboarding magazines have trick guides? With the pictures and such?

Just to give you an idea of what to do, style is alot harder than tricks to get, that's why I think people should try and just get the idea of what they need to do, and go and learn it, that is my personal opinion though.
So are you getting any closer to them now then Anthony?

Well, nice opinion. But what is style in your vision? For me it is when a person can do a trick in 99% of tries he starts to add some unique elements, to show off in fact (like grinding with one hand showing a middle finger to an operator or thinking how to catch the deck higher in contrast to a person who have recently learnt the trick and who tries to land a trick just somehow). So Anthony first needs to listen some advices then, if nothing suits him, find his own way of doing the trick (As far as I know some people do heelwhips naturally instead of doing tailwhips so most of tips can be just useless for them). Good luck! As for me I learned barspin only last spring so there is nothing wrong than you can 540 and can't do a barspin.
im using same way, hand to hand barspin, really good.. i started with bmx.. one foot on peg and other on pedal, now holding seat with legs and giving hand to hand the bar.. i learned them allway.. now i can do them with scooter pretty constantly, i mean like opposite barspin and stuff, and i never miss 360 barspin, sometimes i just miss the legs..

Baspins are weird, they require balance on the scooter, without your hands on it.
Thing reccomended to practice BEFORE trying a real barspin:
X-ups
No Handers
Spinning the bars on something to get the feel of the catch
Tips:
-It helps alot to learn how hard to flick the bars, you may be flicking the bars too hard which is causing you to lose balance on your scooter.
-You may not be sucking the scooter up to your feet. This can sometimes be important.
How to: I was lucky on barspins, I had a large range of sized curbs to practice things on, for Barspins, there was a very small curb, no more than 3 inches, if you can find something like that it'd probably be easier.
Doing them on flat ground sometimes you can feel like you're not getting enough pop, or air to do a full barspin. And doing them off of big ledges or over stairs you will almost always lose control until you get the feel of the trick down. So it helps to find a good mid-sized curb to try this off.
Begin by rolling toward the curb or obsticle in which you'll begin your air, keep your body weight near the back of the scooter and act as though you're about to do a big bunny-hop over it, this will give you enough pressure so that your scooter will stay under you as you let your hands off the bars. Suck your body weight up so that your scooter will keep on your feet in mid air. (this also applys to No-handers)
Take one hand off the handlebars and "lightly" flick the bars around with the other hand. Keep light on your feet, do not apply any pressure downward or your scooter will fall out from under you. With the hand that you did not spin the bars with, keep open and ready to catch when your bars make a full rotation, catch as early as possible. Spot your landing, and ride away.

No Handers won't help you the least bit with barspins. Barspins are mostly what i do and i can't no hander worth a shit.Will Bied. said:

The point of learning No handers is to get the feel of keeping the deck under you without your hands on the bars. It works the same in terms of physics.
