Basically all you need to know how to do to do a barspin is ride your bike... EASIEST Begin by rolling at a slow speed with your left foot on the left pedal and your right foot on the right rear peg. You should be holding the handlebars normally. Practice by leaning back in a quick motion and squeezing the seat slightly between your legs. The seat should hit your left leg right around the knee and your right leg about your thigh. When you lean back quickly squeeze the seat and lift the front end of the bike. You don't need to take your hands off the bars or even get the front wheel more than an inch off the ground- ALL you are trying to do is learn how to unweight the front of the bike. When you are comfortable with this you should do a barspin... Do this by riding as you were- slowly... one foot on the pedal- the other on the rear peg. Now take your LEFT hand and put it on the right grip- palm up. That is, twist your left hand 180 degrees counterclockwise so that the top of your hand is pointed towards the ground. Now turn slightly to the right and while you are turning snap the bars around clockwise 180 degrees. RIGHT before you spin the bars throw your weight slightly backwards as you had practiced before. Congratulations you have just performed a barspin. Repeat this process with the bars backward to get them to face the right way again. EASIEST PLUS ONE As with the easiest version begin by rolling slowly with your left foot on the pedal and your right foot on the right rear peg. INSTEAD of switching your hands take your left hand off the grip and keep it right above the left grip. Now snap back slightly pinching the seat between your legs. AT THE SAME TIME- Pull your right hand towards you- SNAP IT! If you do this correctly the bars will spin 180 degrees clockwise and you should try to catch them with your left hand so they don't over rotate. Once you catch the bars with your left hand the front wheel will be back on the ground and you have done it! NOTE: Once you get this perfected you should try to spin the bars a FULL revolution. Then try 1 and 1/2 spins... Can you do more? MORE DIFFICULT Stand with both feet on the rear pegs rolling slowly and both hands on the grips. Take your left hand and hold onto the nose of the seat (the very front of the seat). Lean back and lift the front wheel off the ground. NOTE: ALL of your weight is VERY far back on your bike! The front end will come up EASILY and you will probably loop out (fall backwards) several times when learning this. So- THIS is the hard part! Anyway- As soon as the front wheel comes off the ground snap your right hand towards you and throw the bars around. Depending on how high the front wheel gets the bars may spin once, twice, or even more... CATCH the bars with your right hand. This can be very tricky since your weight is not usually very stable on the rear pegs. When the front wheel hits the ground put your left hand back on the grip and ride away! MOST DIFFICULT (without combining it) This is the way it is done by street riders... But it is usually HARDER for flatlanders. WHY?- Because, typically, flatlanders have hard plastic seats that are so low that they hit BELOW your knees... If you have seen street riders do this trick with ease and wonder why you are struggling that is possibly the main reason why- SEAT placement is very important to making this trick easy. It can make the trick nearly impossible if your seat is only 3 inches above the platform.... Begin by standing normally on your pedals riding at a slow pace holding the handlebars normally. Keep your pedals level and grip the seat between your legs. (As stated above- if your seat is HIGH this will be easier- if it is low it will be MUCH more difficult and probably painful). As with the easiest version of barspins SNAP your weight back. You want to throw your butt back so that the front end of the bike comes slightly off the ground. If you throw your shoulders back then you may slide off the seat and fall on the ground. AT THE SAME TIME that you throw your weight back let go of the bars with your left hand and snap the bars in a 180 clockwise rotation with your right hand (as with all the other versions above). Catch the bars with both hands at the same time and pedal away- Repeat the above steps to turn the around so that they are straight. BARSPINS TIMES TEN.... There are a hundred different 'versions' of barspins. They have been named things besides the barspin to just confuse people even more. For example- if you are in the middle of a trick and you jump up in the air- spin the bars 180 or more degrees and land back on the bike doing a trick- while ONLY on the front wheel- this is called a BARFLIP. If you are rolling on the front wheel and are not touching the bars with your hands at all and spin the bars 180 or more degrees by pushing them around with your feet- this is called a KICKFLIP. Sound crazy? Well some riders have REALLY pushed the limits- Kickflip hang-nothings (no-handed hang-5's), 360 barflips to halfpackers.... 540 degree barflip funky chickens... It is just crazy. For beginners it is better to try to learn to throw barspins on the ground as quickly as possible in any situation. Riding off a curb and doing a barspin... Doing a barspin to a dork wheelie... It is up to you how to combine them with easier tricks and work your way up to what only sounds impossible.... GOOD LUCK! There are several different ways to do endos- FRONT BRAKES: While travelling at a fairly slow pace grab your front brakes hard. Let your body lift upwards and towards the front of the bike. Put most of your weight on your hands on the handlebars and, without removing your feet from the pedals, unweight your feet. If you can't get the feel of this or your brakes don't grab hard enough try one of the other two methods to get the feel of it. The standard brake endo is the one that you will eventually want to have completely dialed in. CURB: You want to be going slowly for this one. Find a medium sized curb and run into it with the front wheel. Do NOT throw all of your weight into the bike when it hits the curb. When the bike hits the curb transfer your body weight from the pedals to your hands on the bars and let your body weight shift forward over the handlebars. Unweight your feet on the pedals without removing them from the pedals. FOOT IN THE FORKS: This is possibly the easiest way to learn to get the bike to go up on the front wheel... It is so easy you should be VERY careful that you aren't going so fast that you flip over the handlebars! While travelling slowly, JAM either foot into the space between your forks and the top of the front tire. You may hurt your foot if your shoes aren't tough enough. As soon as your foot is jammed in the space put all your weight on that foot and your hands on the handlebars. Unweight the foot that is on the pedal without removing that foot from the pedal. If you have front brakes you should grab them at the same time as you jam your foot into the tire. (Handlebar Rides) Well somehow the word handlebar rides has been added to this trick name... I've always thought bar rides were when you stood upright on the bars... Anyway... This is one of those tricks that looks pretty cool to do and isn't that hard but teaches some lessons about riding that are CRITICAL. One- you learn to clear the handlebars while jumping which will make tricks where you jump over and around the bike easier. Two- it teaches you about balancing on the front of the bike WITHOUT standing on a peg. There aren't many tricks you can really link into or out of barhops... But you can still work on variations of the trick. Begin by rolling at a slow/medium pace. Not to slow- but fast enough that you will coast for a while without pedalling. You should be standing normally on the pedals holding the grips... NOW JUMP! Jump off the pedals and using your arms to REALLY push your weight up high- jump over the handlebars. To help with clearing the bars you should pull your knees up to your chest as high as you can. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LAND ON THE PEGS UNTIL YOU HAVE THIS JUMP PERFECTED!!! Aim for the ground in front of the bike... Once you have the jump perfected you must learn the 'handlebar ride' part of the trick... Sit on the handlebars and coast. This is something you can learn several different ways and should probably have pretty dialed before you try barhopping into it- To help learn to balance reach back with one of your hands and hold onto the seat to steer with. To keep your speed up kick the top of the front tire forward with your feet. This will keep you from losing to much speed. Eventually you should take your hand off the seat and adjust your weight a tiny bit from side to side to maintain your balance. DEPENDING on who you are you may find this easier to do with your hands off the grips- or on the grips- it does not matter. As long as you are just sitting on the handlebars. To ride out snap your legs up and back. As with riding in you want to put ALL your weight on your arms and tuck your knees as CLOSE to your chest as possible so that you clear the bars. When you have done this a few times aim for the pedals and land both feet on them at the same time and ride away. ALTERNATE WAY INTO HANDLEBAR RIDES... Instead of jumping the handlebars walk over the bike. Do this by putting one leg over the handlebars (either one) and reaching back with your opposite hand to hold the seat then put your other leg over the handlebars... For example: Put your left leg over the handlebars. Shift your weight as far forward as possible. Reach back with your RIGHT hand and hold the seat and start to steer with your hand... At the same time lift your RIGHT leg up and stick it over the handlebars. Because your hand is off the grip you don't put your leg right OVER the bars- you swing it out and around the top of the right grip. To ride out do this in reverse- Grab the seat with your right hand. Pull your right leg back over the handlebars and put it on the right pedal. Put your hand back on the right grip and pull your left leg back over the handlebars. That should pretty much give you a good thing to try for the next two or three months. It is typically the first time that you will ever learn to steer the bike in such a weird fashion so don't get overly frustrated if it takes a while to learn. Getting OVER the bars is easy- But actually rolling while sitting on the bars can be very difficult for some. If you have a question about this trick please feel free to e-mail it in... 8/27/99- Okay... DESPITE this how-to I still get at least 10 e-mails a week from people that can't do bunnyhops. Please see the revised bunnyhop how-to as well as some NEW hints and pointers at the bottom. 3/23/99- Okay, this is possibly the MOST requested how-to that I have seen so far and is the first that will be put on the site specifically due to people requesting it. For those who have been riding for a year or two and already know the full scope of doing a bunnyhop... don't laugh because there are millions of beginners who can't do them yet. Bunnyhops aren't hard, but learning how to do them high does have a trick to it. Bunnyhops are the basis for a thousand street tricks and a few flatland tricks. What flatland tricks? Well, you can do bunnyhop 180's and 360's, you can do barspin and no-handed bunnyhops on the ground, and to really amaze people you can learn Whoppers- the bunnyhop tailwhip (only a handful of pros can do them). Possibly the most important feature of learning bunnyhops is the additional control that is gained of your bike and the ability to lift the bike in the air and put it where you want it. When you learn rolling barflip tricks then being comfortable with lifting the bike in the air will be critical. The most common bunnyhop is done when you ride along crouch down and shoot straight up and lift both tires off the ground at the same time. Of course, NOBODY good does that. Below is what is the standard freestyle bunnyhop- it was referred to as a bronco because it kind of looks like that when you do it. But if you call it anything besides a bunnyhop people will look at you funny. (he-he) Begin by rolling at almost any speed- probably a good speed to learn the trick is slow/medium so if you case it you won't die. DO THE REST OF THE STEPS IN A VERY QUICK SMOOTH MOTION... Lean down and back on the bike- slightly behind your seat. Pulling back on the handlebars to get the front wheel of the bike off the ground. The higher you can get the front wheel at this point the higher you will usually be able to go... NOTE: If you pull back or lean back to far the bike will loop out and you will fall on your butt. NOTE: This is just like pulling up for a wheelie! Make SURE your weight is back when you try this next part. If your weight is to far forward you will nose dive and could even go OVER the handlebars... When the front wheel has peaked out shoot your body straight up and a little bit forward. Do this by pushing down on the pedals and pulling on the bars. In a split second your weight is travelling upwards. BASICALLY YOU ARE JUMPING. With the front wheel in the air already you do not have to lift the full weight of the bike when you end up lifting it. But you must lunge (jump) upwards as quickly as possible. This will REALLY affect your height. As your body is now travelling upwards, lock your feet against the pedals (see note below) and lift the bike off the ground. HUH? How do you lift the bike? By pressing down and slightly backwards on the pedals you can grip them. You don't put your WEIGHT on the pedals... you have your feet at an angle and pull UP with your feet. This is the HARDEST part of the trick. Do NOT think it will come in a day... or even a week. Once you can do it do NOT expect to be able to get a foot of the ground... MAYBE a few inches... But height will take practice... To get really high.... Because you have extended your legs when snapping upwards you should bend your knees and tuck the bike in as close to your body as possible to get the maximum height. Riding out isn't a problem- just let gravity do its thing. PRACTICING: Building up to do a bunnyhop of more than 2 inches is NOT something that will happen over night. It can take months to learn to bunnyhop up a curb. It can take YEARS to learn to bunnyhop a couple of feet high. Practice about 3 to 5 minutes a day EVERY day to get better at it. FACTORS: Since bunnyhopping involves a lot of physics stuff you need to consider the following- Bike length, bike weight, YOUR weight, how high YOU can jump, and how strong you are. These will ALL affect how high you are able to get the bike. Remember if you are small and have a heavy bike you will NOT be able to learn as quickly to go high. HINTS: Ride towards a curb (a 5 inch or so curb) at a VERY slow speed. Lift your front wheel onto the curb and then lift your rear wheel onto the curb. Do not put your foot down. Do not let either tire hit the curb. When you can do this with neither tire hitting the curb... go faster and learn the motion of lifting the front tire first then the rear tire. This rocking motion is what makes a HIGH bunnyhop possible. At some point you should be travelling at the curb fast enough to lift the front wheel onto it and then the back wheel onto it BEFORE the front wheel lands. THIS is a bunnyhop. LIFTING THE BIKE: Possibly the number one reason people can't do bunnyhops to begin with is that they don't understand the concept of locking their feet against the pedals. There is a reason that pedals (especially aluminum ones) have those little studs on them. If you look at the video you will see how it is possible to lock your feet against the pedals and just lift the back end of the bike off the ground. This is the same action that snaps the back end into the air when the front wheel is off of the ground. It is also a good way to help to learn the trick. 180 & 360 BUNNYHOPS: If you are interested in doing a 180 or 360 bunnyhop then first learn regular bunnyhops- Now instead of pulling straight up while riding straight, turn just before you bunnyhop and turn your bars in the direction that you want to turn. SNAP the bike around. You can do the trick pretty slow so don't be afraid to land with the bike sideways- it is part of learning the trick. 180's can be done almost totally flat and rolled out of similar to a 180 rollback. With a 360 bunnyhop you will probably need to land on the back wheel first and then pivot out. There are very few riders that can get enough momentum to do a FULL 360 bunnyhop on the ground and land both tires at the same time. Off ledges... well that's a different how-to. If you have a question about this trick please feel free to e-mail it in... DO NOT E-MAIL YOUR COMMENTS AFTER TRYING TO DO BUNNYHOPS FOR LESS THAN THREE MONTHS. If you have been practicing as stated above for that long then SAY so and BMXTRIX will try to help. Unfortunately there are STILL several e-mails a day on this trick. Just like wheelies... these aren't THAT easy and DO take practice and skill to be good at Pogos are better known as hopping on the back wheel... Or hopping on the front wheel... While standing on the pegs. It is possible to step this trick up and stand on the PEDALS while hopping on the front or back wheel but it is MUCH more difficult to do that. Hopping on either the front or back wheel is really not much different you use your brakes and hop... JUST like a pogo stick. The main difference is that you have to pull up HARDER because the bike doesn't have springs on it- just a rubber tire. You should be able to do endos before doing this trick as well as track stands (or fire hydrants). NOTE: Front wheel hops method 2 is possibly the EASIEST version of pogos to learn! REAR WHEEL: Begin by rolling at a VERY slow speed while holding the grips normally and standing on the rear pegs. Do a SMALL endo (about an inch or two high) while grabbing both your front and rear brakes HARD. When the back of the bike hits the ground lean back far enough so that the front wheel comes up off the ground and toward you. Bend your elbows to help bring the bike closer to you and begin hopping on the back wheel. This sounds EASY- but it can be very challenging at first. If you JUMP while standing on the pegs you will jump OFF the pegs and the bike will stay on the ground and will fall over. You MUST use your arms and your feet to help lift the bike off the ground and put it underneath of you to maintain your balance (JUST like a pogo stick!). This is hard to explain so you will have to try it for several days to get the feel for it... But to lift you shoot your body upward and instead of letting your arms push away from the bars you pull UPWARD (toward the sky) on your handlebars. This will pull the bike UP into your feet and off the ground as your jump. To keep your balance you must learn to PUT THE BIKE WHERE YOU WANT IT... For example- if you are falling to your left- you |
