A Barspin performed while jumping from your rear wheel.
How do it
Conquering your fear is key to mastering this trick. Riders often try to execute this one with a smallish bunny hop, or no hop at all. Don't, you'll get hit by the handlebars. Aim for at least a 20 cm height jump. Learn to bunny hop correctly. For the barspin to work your front wheel has to be higher than your rear wheel. Jerk your handlebars, then draw them away, at the same time straightening and tightening your knee grip. Your front foot's toe extends upward, in order to pivot on the pedal. Perform the barspin as usual.
