Great advice. I have a practice tip that really helped me plus it looks good at traffic lights etc. I put my pedals at 12-6(doesn't matter which way), I put my feet on the ground and I put one foot under the lower pedal and rest the higher one against my other leg. I grip the bike with my legs and use my foot to raise the pedal and front of the bike and spin. I barely lift the front wheel so it can look like my wheel is on the floor. If you practice the spinning and catching part separately and break it down it really does help when you come to riding along and doing it.
If you can land and catch the bars every time, you can clearly do the trick easily. So focus on putting pressure on the pedal on the side that comes off.
Great how to. I'm having problems with the whole letting going. Of my catch hand. So I do xup bars I hate them any ideas on letting go of the throwing. Trying to teach and old dog new tricks lol
Can anyone explain what I may be doing wrong?, I have the height and the motion however when I send the bar, I will catch it will one hand but I will instantly fall of to the side. if it helps, I send my bars the same as the guy in the video but I am right foot forward
isnowyazn I've found out my mistake. I know throw them clockwise, just need to commit to keeping my front foot on the pedal. I can land them on an indoor back, I just can't get it fully on my actual bike yet haha
Well, if you start throwing them then eventually you'll start getting higher and higher. But unless you can throw the bars lightening quick, they probably wont be that clean.
+Smith Archer try and make your body a 90 degree angle up from your pedals to then bent over looking down on your bars and itll make your legs straighten back and keep you balanced when I do mine my upper body is basically parallel with my frame and head directly over the bars
yo man I can hop and trow them no problem but I always put my foot down when I'm about to land it any tips on how not to be a pussy and keep both feet on the pedals
kevin Lawrinczuk Okay this was posted over a year ago so im assuming u can do them now. But just incase; i use to do that. I use to hop and throw my foot off when i did it. So what i did was hop half bar. If ur still scared about half bars, go to ur yard, layout a nice big piece of plywood and do it there. It will hurt less if you fall. Btw, falling off the back of the bike doesn't hurt as bad as it seems. Neither does falling to the side. So just do some half bars until u get consistent at them. Then go to the plywood (or very short grass with a hardish ground underneath so you dont dead hop) and throw the bars. Do a couple with one foot and thena couple half bars and then lean over ur bars just a little with ur upper body. And with u like mid and lower body lean back just a little. Then throw it. One extra little tip; If its still to scary, try doing ine footed bars but try to keep ur foot on just a little longer. If you feel the adrenaline start to kick in, do it again and again with ur foot on longer each time and you'll end up doing a barspin. Keep in mind, doing them in grass/on plywood in the grass, is much easier than learning them on cement.
Haha yeah man I got bars now I'm working on hop 180 bars now I landed a few of em before I just ordered a free coaster so it should be a lot easier the pedaling back was my biggest issue Buddy CottonMouth
+RideBicycles 69 lolol and you think i care that you dont believe me? 😂 and no, i can hop 3 feet+ i just dont need to hop that high to bar lmao. not hard to throw it fast enough to get it around XD

Thanks bro that helps a lot
Those bars look big
Nice tutorial bro

Same, I have them evert time it's just that problem preventing me from catching in the air, if u fixed that problem let me know how you did it
what type of grips do you got.
Your frame looks stretched compared to mine I hate my bike my bars smack my knee what makes a frame longer like top tube or stand over height
any tips I can throw the bars perfectly but I can't do it on a bunny hop
Same
What stem is this?
Shadow Vultus 9.5" rise.
Isn't that a switch bar? I ride left foot forwards and I throw with my right hand? Or is that switch?
Yours would be considered switch.

It's most likely because you throw your barspins goofy. Those tend to throw your bike off axis.
isnowyazn I've found out my mistake. I know throw them clockwise, just need to commit to keeping my front foot on the pedal. I can land them on an indoor back, I just can't get it fully on my actual bike yet haha
I can only hop about 6-8 inches you think i have enough time to throw them? I mean i have enough time to 180
Well, if you start throwing them then eventually you'll start getting higher and higher. But unless you can throw the bars lightening quick, they probably wont be that clean.
hah learn 360 and pull up bars first
what brand are your bars, and how many inches is the rise?
David D'Amato kink grizzly cc and 9" rise and 29.5" width
420th like
why do your cranks go a little bit backwards when landing? it happens to me and i hate it!
+Vaggelis Limakis tighten your chain
+TheSkaterfreak360 thats the lames and most useless tip ive ever read..
But I still don't understand why everytime the grips hit my knee
Your to tall
+Smith Archer don't use s&m perfect 10 bars too

Is the bike a diablo?

Tape ur feet to the pedals
+Alex 77 bad advice
hahaha remember doing this when i was like 13 years old. it was a bad idea

lol i can throw my bars an inch from the ground aka only hopping an inch, you have more than enough time to throw them XD
But it look ugly as shit in don't even get the bars a full rotation without them hitting the ground first
+RideBicycles 69 actually no. it gets all the way around and i catch when it hits the ground....
+Rob Millington I do not believe you, and wait 9 months later you're still only hopping an inch?
+RideBicycles 69 lolol and you think i care that you dont believe me? 😂 and no, i can hop 3 feet+ i just dont need to hop that high to bar lmao. not hard to throw it fast enough to get it around XD
+Rob Millington your progression is weak sir, might wanna try scootering
odi super soft
Ha he never even did one
He did in slowmotion at 0:02
Great tutorial with much important details
