Some questions from a noobie

Well i just started scooting and i got a MGP Signature Series and i can already tailwhip and 360 and heelwhip but every time i try to barspin i just cant because the bars are so wide, can any1 gimme any tips on how i can learn barspins because there so wide i cant even X-up :/ and another question, everytime i 180 and try to ride backwards i always end up leaning to one side and falling within the first 10 seconds but if i Gturn like on the front wheel i can roll out, any tips on how to 180 more balanced so i can roll out
Help would be really appreciated :)

keep your bars at 18 wide but cut them down height wise....if you havent cut them down they are probably too high...also for 180's, find a bank first with like a little curb at the top and just tap your front wheel on the curb and roll backwards down the hill and once you have that down try 180ing into fakie. you should get it fairly quick.
 
I like the height of the bars there like perfect for me so im not gonna cut them down shorter, its just when i spin my bars for a bar spin they hit my legs and stuff and same with X-up's
thanks for the help on the fakies ill try that out (;
 
Okay it snowed wicked bad today were i live so i was trying barpins indoors and i learned i can actually throw them if i bunny hop because usually when i scoot i only like pro hop instead of bunny hop so it just feels weird but i gotta practice i guess
