Spinning the handlebars 360 degrees while in the air.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. Hop. Bunny hop or jump to get air.
  2. Release and spin. Let go of the bars and spin them 360° (one hand can guide, or throw with both and catch).

Tips for success

Start with one hand on the stem. Spin in the direction that feels natural. Commit to letting go.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a brake?

No brake needed for barspins. Some riders run a front brake; it can get in the way of spins, so many run brakeless or use a gyro.
