How to Barspin on a BMX

A barspin is a popular trick in BMX riding that involves spinning the handlebars of the bike while in the air. Here are the steps to perform a barspin on a BMX:

1. Begin by riding at a moderate speed and approaching a jump or ramp.

2. As you approach the jump, prepare to jump by crouching down and compressing your body.

3. Just as you leave the ramp or jump, start to lift the front wheel of the bike by pulling up on the handlebars with your arms.

4. Once the front wheel is in the air, use your other hand to quickly spin the handlebars in a 360-degree rotation.

5. As the handlebars are spinning, keep your eyes focused on them to ensure that they complete a full rotation.

6. Catch the handlebars with your other hand before they complete the rotation, and then bring them back to their original position.

7. Land the bike smoothly on both wheels and keep riding.

Practice is crucial when learning any new trick, so keep trying and don't get discouraged if it doesn't come easily at first. You may find it helpful to practice spinning the handlebars while stationary before attempting the trick in the air. Once you feel comfortable with the motion, gradually increase your speed and try it on small jumps before moving on to bigger ones. Remember to always wear protective gear and have a spotter or experienced rider present when attempting new tricks.
