A barspin is a popular trick in BMX, mountain biking, and other extreme sports where the rider rotates the handlebars 360 degrees while in midair. While it may look difficult, with practice and dedication, almost anyone can learn how to barspin. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to barspin: 1. Start by riding at a comfortable speed and stand up on your pedals. 2. While riding, take your feet off the pedals and lift them up towards your butt. 3. As you lift your feet, release your grip on the handlebars with one hand and start spinning them in the opposite direction of your lifted hand. 4. Reach across your body with the released hand and grab the spinning handlebars with the other hand. 5. Hold onto the handlebars with both hands as you complete the 360-degree spin. 6. As you approach landing, release your non-dominant hand from the handlebars and place it back on the grip. 7. Finally, bring your feet back down to the pedals and regain your balance. It's important to note that barspins require a lot of practice to master. It's recommended that you start by practicing the motion of spinning the handlebars while standing still or riding slowly, and gradually work your way up to attempting the full barspin while in midair. You can also try practicing on a foam pit or soft landing area to reduce the risk of injury. With persistence and dedication, you'll be able to land your first barspin in no time!
