is it possible to barspin with 18'' wide bars?

[Michael L.]

i got my new scooter in the mail this week (black label 3.0 w/ odi grips) and i'm used to it now but when ever i try to barspin i can't really spin the bars fast enough and unless i'm at the very back of the deck, the bars hit me ; my old scooter was a foldable (razor old a), the bars were 15'' wide and i could barspin really easy . Does somebody have a solution for this? P.S i can't cut the bars because if i did my parents would kill me :S

cut the bars down. convince your parents. it's not the end of the world if you cut them.
or learn how to deal with bigger bars. I did, and now they're easy..

 

[Michael L.]

ok, il just try to deal with it.

18 wide are really the minimum width you should be at. I felt like that when I got my razor but you will learn - just try practicing the motion over and over and over again.

it's weird at first but you'll get used to it in no time

Im riding 22 wide bars....started with 18, then 20, now 22. I can bar bar out of banks..

Just practice, and dont cut them

I ride 19's and can barspin with ease. Just get used to them.

yeah, just keep doing the motion. you'll learn how little effortyou will have to put in for them.

i ride 18, its perfect for bars... i prefer 20 though

i can truck flat with 20 wide. just practice and youll get used to it

Lol. "Is it possible" I can truck flat with 24w, my friend can hop bar on a BIKE with 29's

How fucking awesome YOU are.

get used to it man, 18 wide is really not that wide haha
i ride 18, and i just learned double bars

it all comes with practice, dont give up!!

it seemed like that for me in the beginning too, i rode a crappy foldy with like 14 or something wide haha

 

[Robert]

no 18 wide is way to wide and it will be impossible to do barspins

 

[MattThomMakesMeWarmInside]

Do you throw your bar from your hand literally into your other hand or do you just throw the bars and meet them at the ground? All you gotta do is lean your body back a little, 18 is a pretty standard size these days and plenty of people bar easily with them

 

[Derek Seay]

This thread isnt asking how wide your bars are?

Yes, you can barspin with 18 wide.

 

[Jimmy C]

The bigger the better. I love doing bars on my friends like 23 wide bars. Especcially over this hip. Sooooo steezy

 

[Josh Henderson]

lol 18 is tiny

 

[CallumR]

no, it is impossible to barspin with anything more than 10 wide

 

[Griffiths007]

no, it is impossible to barspin with anything less than 10 wide

That means he can barspin with 18 wide. Haha lol.
