props to grandpa for giving that advice to all of us.👊

I’m so freaking furious about barspins. I can do a flip tuck but a single barspin is an everlasting battle for me.

[@thatracinggtbmx6453]

Yup sounds about right I been struggling for a year now progress at all right when I threw my first hip bar I thought I was going to have it but nope I've even tried flat 180 bars and I get close but I can't catch or I'm always scared

[@reidturner6370]

videos like this are awesome. mental blocks are everything and it’s cool to hear someone say it

[@ryannott2504]

Hey I just wanted to thank your grandpa, he taught me to barspin! I tried it flat ground and like you said it was sketchy as but it went round, that made doing it in the air easy. So thanks for making a video and thanks to your grandad!

[@kirkwickham3336]

The mental block can be a real bitch and if left unchecked, you may never barspin successfully. I found pull up barspins help to learn the spin and catch motion but that didn't translate to the air very well for me. I found just bunnyhopping on grass and pinching whatever you can, seat with knees or cranks with feet and throw them. You're bound to miss-catch them and fall (hopefully) backwards hence the grass but you'll feel how close you actually got and be keen to try again. Just try hopping and pinching. If you're able to pinch something, may as well try to throw the bars. Can't hurt to remove your pegs so you don't fall ass-first on one.

Right on time. I’ve been taking baby steps to throwing bars. Got tire grabs, next is tuck no, then I’m finally just gonna send them.

[@Peteygreene85]

Good stuff!!

[@fmfory6]

I was trying barspins 2 days ago and the mental block was so frustrating so this vid helped thanks Doug!

[@Levitations]

Setting a goal I want to learn how to bar by June 1st. Not gonna quit until I get them lol

[@yourcommenthasbeenremoved]

if u are right foot forward jump at a angle towards the left an spin the bars clock wise ,,,, if u are left foot forward jump at a angle towards the right an spin counter clock wise ----

[@The_Hodie_Guy]

What helped for me was doing it on pegs first but now i have another problem i cant barspin with bunny hop or from a ramp i can just regular hop barspin been few months like this alredy

[@BigTree412]

I can bar but the thought of potentially falling every time I try it I’m like I don’t feel like falling today.. but I needed to push through so just throw em

[@Zemi.Andersen]

I learned pullup bars the way you grandpa sugested. I didnt pull up the front end at all, then I praticed the pullup seperately, then added them together. Im SO scared to go for hop bar, or fly out.
Ive been doing pullup both reg and switch for almost 2 years now. I think Ill have it as a goal next year, to learn them hop flat. I do that most years. I set up a future goal to acheive by then end of the year. I learned hop kickflip like this. I learned them no hop, and added in the hop years later.
I think Ill try the baby hop - bar ones, not J hop, but still bunny hopping. Can i take the timing of the kick, and the feeling of leveling out, from the hop kickflip? - Would it be close the the same timing with the throw of the bar and the spin of the crank? - Or does the two tricks feel different in hop and timing?

[@paolotenerani9932]

Hi Doug, I was wondering if you could make a video explaining the we the people doom sayer frame, what are you thoughts on it?

[@jackhicks1765]

My bars are a weird one. I can do a juicy bar one footer, land perfectly with my foot back on the pedal before I land but I can't just normally bar. Rode scooters for so many years and learned bars the wrong way, so naturally I bar the wrong way on bmx as well. Shit just feels weird

[@matthubbard904]

I turned 48 last December and that’s one trick I’ve wanted to learn for long time what’s the best way to learn dougster Bob

[@user-iv1ln1iv8o]

Every time I try to do it my bar either doesn't spin all the way or I hit my knee someone please help me I've been going at it for a month now

[@matthubbard904]

[@masterofnone1481]

[@ukaszjonasiak382]

Yall gotta do a halfbar lander first. The key to success.

[@sheldonlowe3883]

I gotta try this, been trying them for a few years. Every time I throw with confidence I take a bar end to pelvis, then call it quits for a few months

[@flaxe3223]

[@banahwarj4773]

It’s called Fear

[@dragonslayer8812]
