How To Barspin!

[TheRealBrandyn]

another tip for people is get a scooter with super wide bars (like bmx bar size) and practice on there so if you mess up, you dont fall as bad. thats what i did and it seems a lot easir on a bike now

[artybmx]

Im right foot forward and i feel comfortable throwing with my left hand , i 180 to the right i tuck one with my right hand and i one foot with my right is that normal or is it kind of weird

[MATTSK8S999]

The bar off the stairs was neat!

[CornOnTheCobe]

i have no problem throwing and catching...but usually my front food hits the tire...tips?

[lolbikerlol41]

i can do barspins every time but i have a problem droping my hand how can i drop my hand so i catch with one hand and guide the other hand back

[Natebmx4life14]

I have a fucking commiting problem! I cant keep my foot on and throw on a flyout barspin. Ive done em twice and the next day I could do em ever since. So when I try them now, all I do is say in my head that im going to keep my foot on, but I dont. All I do is get pissed and stop trying... Any tips??

[Manuelbmx5200]

Hey can you look at mi video

[evanridesbikes1]

[KingScoots123]

[vidsofthefunnyfuture]

[fkatbmx]

[ilikesunneedee97]

[MaeMaeanddarebear]

[AndrewPhelps611]

Finally!!! the reason I can't land a bar is because I'm not letting go!!!!!!! Thankyou!!!!

[22KERR55]

[The514BLACKBIKER]

[101sticksta]

like if you know how to throw, hop, catch and level out, you just cant do them at the same fucking time >.<

[NolanBMX12]

[thatguru877]

I throw with right hand but ride left foot forward I can huch the bars and catch them fine but the bike always falls away from my feet like halfway through the spin WTF GOING ON HERE ???

[loopbros]

i have a break lever and when i'm practicing them i keep jamming my fingers............... HELP!

[kamakazi8888]

@loopbros Take your brake lever off?

[TheChciky]

Till now I still cant change this habit!for bunny bar/fly out barspin.the correct and easier way is to only throw with 1 hand and catch the other right.but my mistake till now is always crossing over my bothhand/using both hand when throwing my barspin and it make my barspin ugly and harder to catch.erm… for barspin,is let go the catching hand first before u throw your bar or let go ur catching hand and throw the bar at the same time??I seriously need help

[ZacStephenson1]

[nortonatorTV]

[dudevonmcdudenstien]

[nmk807]

[scarmds]

also dont protect your self from the bars people like me try to stop the bars cuz there scared

[rrice1991]

I can't do barspins for nothing.. I've recently uploaded a video grrrrr

[Smith10595]

The bars usually go halfway and then I try to catch and fly of the back of the bike and my feet always come off

[Smith10595]

I can never catchb

[DEM0NSLAYAJ1995]

I can get the right height, my bars never hit my knees, but everytime i throw, the bars only go halfway. Even when i try throwing harder. Is there a special way to throw them?

[odysseyrider5]

@DEM0NSLAYAJ1995 no just keep practicing. and keep your hands dropped, usually the bike stops half way if you dont keep your hands down

[theanallovingcactus]

@DEM0NSLAYAJ1995 Perhaps you may have a tight head set and they just wont spin ?

[VixM0nStAxiV]

@DEM0NSLAYAJ1995 flick your wrist harder and check your headset

[prestonblakely1]

@DEM0NSLAYAJ1995 same exact thing with me

[ktownbmx30]

@DEM0NSLAYAJ1995 your throwing to late, i kinda had same problem a while ago.

[bmxrider161]

@DEM0NSLAYAJ1995 hey man sometimes when u throw ur front wheel hits ur shoes and justs stops in mind air then u come crashing back down to earth so when u do bars u might want to tilt ur feet back on ur pedals

[CobraBmx4ever]

@DEM0NSLAYAJ1995 umm hey i hear you are haveing problems i am showing how to do one on flat ground and i had the same problem but i can do it now :)

[flatsoul666]

i go four pegs ... shoud i try throwing the bars with pegs on the back ?

[odysseyrider5]

@flatsoul666 no, it wont do much to help

[flatsoul666]

@odysseyrider5 so i have to remove it then! hmm thanks man

[pengiee55]

@flatsoul666 why 4 pegs adds weight

[bmx6foot]

your at parma high school

[TheJammyBloggs]

When i do it my front foot comes off the pedal slightly so when i land my front foot slips of pedal then i hit my shin on pedal : ( Any ideas?

[odysseyrider5]

@TheJammyBloggs lean forward more and keep it on. dont hesitate to keep it on at all

[fredtbobkoeje24]

how long did it take you to learn hop barspins??

[odysseyrider5]

@fredtbobkoeje24 1st try... lol

[iBLaDEzZx]

the only problem i have is i catch nice but my feet sleep off the pedals, some times i get it landed then one foot slips off any tips?

[odysseyrider5]

@iBLaDEzZx its all about comitting, most of the time  people get scared so they take there feet off when it feels like they try to keep them on. just really try and keep them on and they will stay on

[112jayboi]

ok thanx i will try that :D

[112jayboi]

i can neaver catch my bars got any tips

[odysseyrider5]

@112jayboi keep your hands low, if your throwing them up you wont catch

[SundayFunday4TheWin]

Thanks for the video it helps a lot

[SundayFunday4TheWin]

Sexi no homo I'm going to try barspins now

[F0reverY0ungXD]

would it make it easier to barspin if you learn to do a no hander first?

[odysseyrider5]

@F0reverY0ungXD probably not lol. 

[F0reverY0ungXD]

@odysseyrider5 lol i kinda figured that out today ive been trying to do it with a manule to try to get ahold of it..is it easier to practice doing it with a manual or would it just be easier to bunny hop

[odysseyrider5]

@F0reverY0ungXD just got for bunnyhop, doing it manual makes you lean back and make it harder to learn

[twONaBIKE]

Ha. I gotta learn. I need balls

[gingerbiking]

hey dude when i do them i only get them 180 or 270

[odysseyrider5]

@gingerbiking throw harder or just keep practicing. when it gets to 270 you should be catching

[buttybuchblabe]

@gingerbiking got the same problem, hey if you got them full yet tell me how u got them plz?

[stuckinaboxx]

r you guy

[odysseyrider5]

@stuckinaboxx deffinately

[careysk8]

I'm almost there! just have to catch it better.

[BMXMattD]

I can land bars But do you ever find that when you do them sometimes you cant even see your bars spinning and you just feel the grab ? I dont know if its just me but Ever since I started doin them out of smaller banks I cant see them at all

[odysseyrider5]

@BMXMattD muscle memory i guess.

[bikermatte]

Man this is the best tutorial on you tube ... Thank you ... Yo

[odysseyrider5]

@bikermatte Thank you too!

[LBr4D0r]

Man best barspin tutorial on Youtube. Thx mate this rlly helped a LOT

[odysseyrider5]

@LBr4D0r Thanks! and im glad to help

[peterbambi]

how long would you say it takes to learn these? i have hop half-bars but i want some idea of how long itll be before im close to the full bars :D cheers though, great video!

[odysseyrider5]

@peterbambi Took me 2 days of trying hard to learn them flyout. Then after I learned them I tried hop bars and got them right away. Just try hard and it shouldn't take to long.

[FLYxTriickzz]

i can BARSPIN noww :DDD

[SK8BOARDER1313]

hey can you help me out when i throw the bars i can get them around but it hits the ground first then i catch them how do i catch it in the air do i need to throw it harder?

[odysseyrider5]

@SK8BOARDER1313 Higher hop, Dont x - up, bring your catching hand back, and practice.

[bmx4life2111]

ur the only person i click the ads for haha

[odysseyrider5]

@bmx4life2111 Thank you!

[TheJungleBunnies]

Lmao even though i can barspin I cant stop watching this vid bc your mad funny haha

[Maxtec44]

when i bunnyhop i really throw on the way down (leveled out) i need to do this orelse i will hit my knees but it feels like i do it to late because when i go for full its just coming half and bounc on the ground. I have no problems with knees or going off the bike. But as i hope and guess its a regular problem and just need a little bit higher hop and spin faster?

[odysseyrider5]

@Maxtec44 Just make sure your bunnyhop is good! Dont pick up to tires same time, and throw at the peak of the hop, when you level out. Its normal to throw a little late when your learning, so just keep practicing.

[sichanly4]

okay.. I can throw them... but every time i land back on the ground my feet come off my pedals.. and i cant keep them on.

[BmxKidDarien]

I remember when i finnaly got my first barspin, i was happy as hell lol

[FLYxTriickzz]

im scared when im level

[AsianTurtleClub]

when i do hop barspins i sort of like nollie it and like i cant lift the front end first like a normal bunny hop then throw it and it looks very gaayyy like you said

[odysseyrider5]

@AsianTurtleClub Well you already know your problem haha. Just bunnyhop then throw.

[FLYxTriickzz]

when i throw it i throw it but the motha fukin bar hits meh' kneees and im scared;ooo and also i watch this video everyday...

[odysseyrider5]

@FLYxTriickzz Level out more, and keep your knees straighter. It has to be one of those problems

[FLYxTriickzz]

when i throw it i throw it but the motha fukin bar hits meh' kneees and im scared;ooo

[jaco2302]

Great how to! I am doing some out of a roller and I should of had em today but ill go at it tomorrow due to a snapped sprocket bolt =/ Subscribed!

[VOVKARFRC]

nice tutorial bro! ur barspins are so clean, and the ones of stairs look soo freakin sick, the biggest i've done is of a 2 stair lol :)

[kapem23]

Ok man i got em dailed on the " indoor" / tramp bike , but when i try them on my actual bike, I do some weird stuff like for instance when I go to hop and spin the bars the hop just doesn't happen ( yes I can bunny hop) so I end up with my front end up, bars spinning and It is like I jump up from The pedals instead of hopping. Somebody please help me with this

[odysseyrider5]

@kapem23 Your just scared. just stay on your bike, its all about committing. and get a good hop

[bigd021191]

[ChromoProductions]

Great videos and you're good at making how tos. Keep them up.

[bikyala]

[joeping32]

ur a sick rider

[Ducstee]

wow dude , really really good how to , best one i'v ever seen yet , just a lil question , I practice my barspin with one foot on back peg and one foot on peddles , i always always catch them this way , would there be any other way i could practice it ?

[odysseyrider5]

@Ducstee Theres no way to really practice them without actually doing them. Just put on some kneepads and go for them. Just make sure to hop high, some people barley hop and its a lot harder.

[Ducstee]

@odysseyrider5 alright maybe going to try them in the next few days , thanks for all the tips !

[Ducstee]

@odysseyrider5 alright thanks

[customsunday]

Nice how to! your bars and your riding in general remind me a lot of chad kerly. keep it up!
