The barspin is a very difficult trick to learn, but once you learn them they are fun and easy. I’m going to show you how to get them on a BMX Bike.
You have to decide whether you want to learn them flat (bunny hop barspin) or out of a slope, bank or fly-out. They are pretty much the same, the only difference is your pulling up your front more in a bunny hop barspin. Okay lets get to it. First off you need to be comfortable with the bunny hop if your doing it on flat and you also need to be comfortable with the fly-out, or slope if your trying it that way. Now I’m going to explain it as your coming out of a fly-out just to make it easier. It is almost the same as a bunny hop barspin.
You need to be going out of the lip at a average speed not to fast and not to slow. Once you get out of the lip, your going to lean back a little bit while pinching your seat (and or knees together), as your doing that you need to throw the bars, and land smooth. Barspins should be one full motion not parts of the trick. This is a trick that you won’t learn in one day, so you need to practice as much as you can. Once you get them good, try 180 barspins and truck drivers (360 barspins).
Extra tips:
When you get to the point of leaning back, you do not want to lean back too far as this will result in the bike going out from under you. You also need to lean a little forward but not to the point that you will be hitting your knees when you throw the bars.
Practice, practice, and practice.

It is hard to ignore the sting of gas prices on our wallets nowadays, and many of us are hard pressed to find alternatives for traveling from point A to B. Not too many people are thrilled about the idea of running back and forth halfway across the city to do some simple errands but with a bicycle, you may find that not only is it a very green, inexpensive way of getting your chores done, it’s also got the extra bonus of giving you some great exercise.
There are a world of options as far as bicycles go. Most will find that a cheap bike will fulfill their needs, just fine. Road bikes are specifically made for travelling greater distances than something for a BMX bike. It doesn’t mean that you should discount it entirely. By taking the time to customize a road or BMX frame, you can extend the range of capabilities that it has to accommodate your tastes. If you are more intent on being a long distance road warrior, a road cycling frame would trump a BMX type, any day. The tougher, heavier BMX frame is more suited to stunt riding, which may give you a bit of distraction between destinations!
Cheap road bikes will often be more functional for the general public, as it is simple, and crafted for the purpose of travelling. Do remember that regardless of your choice, have it measured to your specific height. This will not only enhance the comfort and fit of your ride, but also help to make it more your own After some time, purchasing aftermarket parts to further better the overall performance of your bicycle may increase your enthusiasm for riding and encourage you to expand on your affinity for the sport.
