I think there's been a thread on this (I think jonny made it) already but I can't find it.

But anyway. I've been watching bmx vids and coedie and stan vids n stuff and daaaaamn, downside bars look so much better in 180's and 360's which pisses me off hella bad because for me to do them I have to oppo bar which is difficult as shit :(

Anyone do them like this or have any thoughts on them?

i love them that way. I have oppo 360 bars (the way i have to do them) dialed, and i do 36o oppo bars off my kickers and sketch flat. and my 180 bars to fakie flat are with oppo bar. ya, i rarely spin and barspin the same way anymore. don't exactly have an oppo bar either.

i also do oppo downside bars to fsf lol, regular downside bar out.

well also what I've found is that you don't really notice much of a difference until you get to like 17-18 wides where barspins actually become noticeable lol. But I ride 21's as of right now so oppo bars are quite a bitch and I don't see myself learning them anytime soon because they feel all weird n stuff..

lol Jordan, I searched downside barspin on google and the first result is one of your videos.
lol! thats great.

yea, even though i do do downside bars in spins it doesn't look as good as it would if i had wide bars. But i try my best, gripping the bars at teh ends helps.

I'm guessing downside bar is Barspin the opposite way to the way you spin?
If so i do them.
