well heres some tips that work for me.
first you gotta hop then at the peak of your hop you flick the bars.and you flick with one hand and catch with the other.a way to practice the flick is to put 2 feet under the deck and just stand there and flick and catch,then do it without looking at the bars so you can do them while doing another trick.then start doing it off of low shit

Its WAY easier with bars wider than 16". Aside from that, what i do is wrap them and pretty much catch it when it spins close to my stomach. I catch mine really early so theres less time that they're hanging. Then you just learn to do this quicker and you'll end up catching them straight. Only Advice i've got bro.

At first it's hard to commit but they become natural after a while. If you miss the catch you just bail.

Here's what you do.
PRACTICE ALL THE TIME
and just hold your scoot in the air between your legs right?
then throw a barspin and try to catch it! once you can do that apply the same idea except after jumping.
once you can catch them, work on building up speed and jumping higher and catching them. then get balls and throw them off curbs!

we gotta ride.and dood, for barspins, the way i learned them was i would go up a bank and work the bars around with my hands (it would be called a busdriver on a bike, i think) until i got them faster and faster and FASTERR. maybe it will work for you too, man.

when i do a barspin I kinda do like a one handed xup and then let go, than catch. after a while you will be able to do it off anything.

I got mine dialed by taking my wheels off and bouncing on a mattress and just doing that for like an hour a day for like 3 days.
i just did it during commercials and i got those bitches CAUGHT in like another solid week of practicing on small sets and ledges.

yes! my scooter is always in my room and i do that, thats how i learned bars back in the summer. I also learned nose grabs that way lmfao. If ur doing it off something u need to jump as high as u can THEN flick it, u cant flick it right away cuz u wont get enough air.
