We had the whole Nike BMX crew out in San Antonio for a film trip. In between sessions, we hit up Garrett Reynolds, Chad Kerley, Nigel Sylvester, and Dennis Enarson so they could give you the breakdown on how to do bunnyhop barspins.
Be sure to check out the San Antonio Sessions, and or more information head over to / nikebmx
When Garret Reynolds learnt to barspin he accidentally did a truck
Verry goed
I think Chad's snapback is trying to escape...
But this does go to prove a point that everyone has their own method, what works for one person may not work for another, Nigel pinches his seat, Garrett doesn't worry too much about that and likes his rear end lower in the air where as Dennis likes to do it as he reaches the top, everyones bikes are going to be set up slightly differently and everyones has different body types so what works for one may not for another
Learned bars in 6 days cuz of this video thanks alot !
this really helped!!! thanks! needto post more how to, s
Garrett , you are the king of barspins
focus on releasing your catch hand and give a hard fast spin with your throwing hand. you just HAVE to remember it once you bunny hop
Yea im lovin the how-tos from the pros!
good information dude! Thanks
nigel got the best looking barspins ever
if someone could plz answer this that dud be great. How old were u when u first learned full bunny hops barspins? honestly. and whats a good age to start learning bunny hop bars or bars in general?
smooth ass video!!!!
Thanks again, if I can I'll report my new results here ! Any favorite brand for the seats ? The local shop here has only MOB seats, but I'm thinking on getting from Dans Comp shop ...
Def gonna start practicing
Thanks for the tip, maybe I can buy those fat seats to see if helps a little. And what about the body position, is it different now to compensate the weight towards the front of the bike ?
hearing that it was hard for Chad to learn bar spins makes it clear that with practise, it will become easier than easy!
love garrett
@danihom that's fine but it will make it more difficult when you wanna learn 180 bars. Dennis is left foot forward and throws with his right hand
i'll give it a go. thanks
i used to have that problem, it's most likely cos you're not commiting you are passing them to a certain point then stop, you really have to throw it, let your hand go about a quater of the way round then drop your catch hand and let the bar float into it
Garrett is throwing them bars in a speed of light
If I'm left foot forward, should I throw with my right hand and catch with my left hand? (I am right-handed btw)
Good video
Garrett's barspins are most beautiful one's out of these 4.
ck
please answer. does it matter if my left pedal (left foot) is foward but i throw with my right hand?
good barspin real
dude nigels is so clean
Chad is the best rider on the planet!!!
Chad Kerley vídeos LOOOOL
when ever i hop my legs always move up into the area of where the bars would spin any tips?
Actually pretty good turtorial.
I used to say the same but try throwing it with your right hand for a full day, first doing "manual barspins" and when you always catch it start to hop. Now it's easier for me to throw it with my right hand.
I'm so close to them, I get the full rotation, but I don't bus them at all, and find it really hard to catch the bars with my throwing hand, that or I grab it but it slips off. Any tips?
Garret Reynolds Barspin hero :)
deniis enarson at 2:20 his trow switch barspin!!
if you haven't got them by now, i'd recommend leaning back more. like dennis (i think) at 2:20, look how much he leaned back
YES GARRETT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@JDKGbmx dennis throws his normal bars with his opposite hand but when he comes to doing trucks he throws them the other way to make them easier
as helpful as this video is, the only way i think i will ever get help for a barspin is to keep trying. this video, along with 100s of others iv'e watched, explain the process extremely well! now the rest is up to me i guess. or maybe i need a head headset.. ;)
this actually helped me haha
dude i can do bunny hop tailwhip but i cant do a bunny hop bar spin , is it really that hard ?
learn bars one footed best way ever i found... do the same bar motion and just focus on keeping that one foot on and once you get that dialled man up and keep both on
nice tips :]
I like Nigel's shirt :)
Dennis enarson throws top side bars
Garrett's are so sick!
Garret must have loved makin this vid XD
dennis does switch bars!!! o.o something i didnt know haha
i still remember chad kerley on camp woodward
how do you pinch the seat with you're feet if you're seat litterly on you're frame..
some what helpfull
how do u barspin with big bars everytime i throw my shirt gets caught or my legs do
jesus so clean
garrett rules!
any tips on how to let go of the bars? please help me
Can you guys please make a CHOKING VIDEO PLEASE!
how high would i have to bunny hop to do it
oh thanks. i think it might help
above wast u should lean a little forward but under wast all u need to worry about is getting ur knees out of the way + i have a fat seat and it is super comfy
@Graeeddee Thats how I first did it too!
Everyone else I learned barspins out of a fly out. Garret all casual. You know I was manualing and decided to throw the bars. BOOM.
I am very new to bmx and am looking for a bike. A lot of the bmx videos I see people do not have breaks why is this? And does having breaks on limit you as a rider?
Zerrv most people remove the brakes so they can freely spin the bars. the brake cable would prevent you from doing this if you run brakes. it just saves money. personally i hate riding brakeless so i use a gyro so i can run a back brake and still spin my bars freely.
Can u you barspin with 2 brakes and 360 gyro?
do a how to full cab bar
Make more how to s to give as a light to do tricks
pinch not with knees but with ur lower leg... inside of the shin
I'm 30 and I used to pinch my seat to barspin (Ryan Nyquist style for example ), but now, I bought this new bike with these tiny little seats way down, and now everytime I barspin my bike slips away from the pedals, need help ?!
if i had a nickle for every time garrettes bars spun around ..
Every time i throw the bars my frist insticnt is to pull my feet off the pedals....WHAT DO I DO?
Sure! I barspin with my right hand and have a brake lever in the same. I have no left lever, that would make it as uncomfortable as throwing barspins with my left hand, i don't catching bars with a lever at the same grip.
im the 1000th like
Go nigel
ok you have to do this..... right when garrett gets to the peek of his bunny hop pause it..........................i mean its like no wonder he can do them so clean he bunny hops three feet just to do a single
1:55 according to the subtitles Garrett says: ''threw me into sex slavery'' hahaha
Can u do barspin with breaks
RIP NIKE BMX
Sad , was the best bmx crew ever
When Garrett Reynolds is teaching you how to barspin you shut up.
the whole time im taking garrets advice :D
you raise the seat or pinch with inside of ur legs
my foot keeps coming please help thanx
ok why whenever i level out and throw the bars, my bike nose dives and i hit my thighs with the bars
I like how it's just nike and not 6.0 anymore:P
why does my pedal come up once i land them? help me
dennis doing oppo bars haha
i wrote a paper abot that , but with like mx , bmx , sk8. and my teacher agreed
Greeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaattttttttttt! (( @UnitUnderground
Garrett Reynolds is gonna say what kevin hart said YOU GONNA BAR TODAY
the only thing i need its spin faster but dunno why it wont XD
bien ;)
I bar with my right foot forward and my left hand throwing the bars... it makes for miserable bar spins if your just learning and your throwing them like I do CHANGE IT!
I used to try barspins with right foot forward and left hand like you. When I tried throwing it with the right hand it felt so much easier. Now I am learning it the right way.
aha damn dude.
i recomend buying online as u have more of a variety of brands... i have the federal mid pivotal seat and mid is the size that everyone calls fat + the shadow conspiracy mid pivotal seat is good and there is a premium fat seat that everyone has :)
lean your chest more over the bars?
one question... what's with the random ass rock?
We should learn those stuff in gym class at school instead of doing push-ups or playing a boring sport like if you agree :P
At 1:45 the dude looks like a vampire idk his name and Idk really care
+IKEAMONKEY well it wasn't supposed to be shitty I just wanted to open my mind
nigel looks like a vampire
You should throw with your left hand,
Chad kerly with a hat half on haha
If I had a nickel for every time Garrett said like....
i can half bars and keep my feet on but not full bars!
