I know a few of you guys can do them pretty good. I can't get them, I've been trying forever. When I throw them I either lose my pedals, or don't get the whole rotation. Anybody want to walk me through it? I've been doing them on the scooter for a very long time, but it doesn't transfer I guess.

Ok so how i learned them i dropped in going verrrrry slow so i almost ride out

As your like riding out just start chucking them

Once your comfortable with throwing sort of start hopping, when you do lean back and just pass your bars or how ever you want like on a scooter

If you jump and lean back, you should sort of automatically pinch your seat making you stay on

Its really just trial and error just try different ways i guess

pshh, they're not scary at all flat, I almost got a few, until I fell on top of some kids bike that was lying on the ground and got a burly gash in my arm

Getting a lot closer to them, I can do them in manuals now, like lifting the front wheel. Pinching seat isn't working with my slammed seat, haha.

Shouldn't really make a difference, mine was slammed but you cant really tell riding flat but once you start trying them fly out and start hopping, hopping should just automatically make you pinch your seat/frame.

Cool, I'll have to start jumping.

EDIT: Also, when I do start throwing them in hops, should I throw late or early or like at the top?

all my fuckin pro bmx BROs tell me to throw them at the peak of your hop. just before you start goin back down to earth. and im with ya man. fuck barspins.... haha
 
i jsut got them flyouts :]
i ride with street riders and they can all bar haha
your supposed to do it at the peak of your hop when your level
and you dont gotta pinch your seat
mines is slammed and i can throw me
you can either bus driver em
or just flick em and make sure you catch them
 
They are really eassy flyout, especially if you can run your seat a couple inches high. All I did was do them with a really high seat and eventually I was able to throw them slammed. I havnt done any in a while but I leant back too much once at this skatepark with loads of bikers on and ended up doing a barspin to manual about a meter. I was proud haha. I find them easier by busdriving them but that meens more height.
