How do it
Try to practice on a soft surface, like grass. If you already ride brakeless — great, otherwise don't forget to turn bar back each time to the neutral position, so you wouldn't damage the cables. Also, do not tighten the screws on brake levers to avoid damaging them. Watch your fingers, use leg protection and a soft seat.
1.
Adjust your seat height so you can grip it between your knees. Start performing the manual, grab the seat and point your front foot toe upward. Take your hands of the handlebar and try to maintain this position for at least a second.
2.
Now practice the spin itself. If your right foot is in the front one — spin the handlebar with your right hand, catch it with your left. And vice versa. This way you'll be able to perform trick combinations later on.
3.
Raise your catching hand, spin the bar halfway around, release the grip and continue spinning with your open palm. Move your catching hand towards the handlebar.
4.
Finish the trick by catching the handlebars with both your hands at the same time.
