How To Barspin

Scooter Hut · on YouTube

The lowdown

Float off the ground and spin the bars a full 360°, then catch them dead straight before you land. It's all in the wrists and timing.

Fun fact

Stack a bar spin onto a tailwhip and you've got a 'ridiculous'. One of scootering's classic combo names.

Tips

Throw with your lead hand, catch with the other. Keep your shoulders square. Only the bars should move, not you.

Why it isn't working4 common mistakes

Gripping the bars too tight. Keep your arms loose so the bars can turn freely and your catch has some give.
Pushing the bars down as they spin. Keep the bars turning level and close to your body, not up or down.
Spinning and hoping the bars come back. Watch the grips round and reach for them with your catching hand before you land.
Wheels tilted during the hop. Hop with both wheels level so the scooter stays under you while the bars turn.

Difficulty 3 of 5

Why it's Spicy: A bunny hop keeps everything attached. A bar spin lets go of the only thing steering you, so the whole trick hangs on catching a full turn in one short hop.
