You know, it’s where you let go of the handle bars and they magically spin around 360 degrees before you grab onto them again. Yeah, that trick… Hoang teaches you how to do it on a bank so you can build up your street cred.

sickest bars ever
November 8th, 2008 at 9:23 am
i think they look sick!
but ahh those bars are super wide, i dont know how ppl bar with wides i hit my knee with 22’s
November 11th, 2008 at 11:06 pm
now that i think of it they are way easier on banks..i think wide bars in some ways are better for bar spins think about it..its more to catch..i ride northwest bars not cut at all and i think i can throw them way better than a pair of 25’s or even 26’s..28’s are where its at..just my opinion though..

Alright, it seems that the comments when all over the place, I’m not interested on being a critic of the sport or of the minds you guys have (some of you) that let you arrive to such limited conclusions. I think necessary to set some concepts straight. I have a little bit of time so this is what I think.
There’s no right side to which throw the bars. You can turn to the left be goofy footed and throw the bars down or up, or any other combination. There is a more common way, but there’s so much variety in the way people grow up and learn stuff that to set one combination as the right one (regular footed, spin bars up {what ever side the turn be} ) would be dogmatize freestyle bike riding.
Also, yes there’s other people that does perhaps better looking barspins, not only the riders that are all over the bmx media…have Zeb Wlliam show you one of those or Ian Munro or so many others…the gonz would do a double… anyways but Hoang is teaching the basic idea, learn bunyhop barspin, bunnyhop on a bank with the body on a barspin position, to get the knees out of the way, then throw the bars. It’s up to the learner put his own style after some serious dedication.
Then comes a question of style which is tricky to judge, but you can tell when someone is stiff or not fully committed, things feel good when they flow naturally. Personally I find his to be nice, he is not pinching the seat (sort of an extra gadget) he seems relaxed, etc; so we get to see the Hoang’s version of a bunnyhop barspin on a bank for the purpose that hopefully someone would get a better idea of how to do it….
Another thing is the effects of a bigger or smaller spining radius. 9 years ago I had really small bars (width) and they spun fast and they were easy to catch,,I think I’ll have to experiment with different bars to see the effects…well, thanks for reading this, cheers.
the rain up here will be over finally tomorrow….
Hey ” Me ” this bank is in treasure Island…SF
November 13th, 2008 at 2:56 pm
no, i didn’t like it… this video is really informative but i don’t like his style..
November 15th, 2008 at 9:03 pm
that guy has a super sick style. those barspins are one of a kind. that helped a lot. thx dude. keep up that gnarly shit
November 30th, 2008 at 2:22 pm
22? thats the smallest bars ive ever heard of!
December 6th, 2008 at 4:08 am
totally agree dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
were talking about barspins not banks though… so yea!
December 15th, 2008 at 1:47 pm
ok, i do barspins the same way mr. hoang does them just that im different footed. i ride with my left foot forward and throw with my right . if i were to do barspins on a bank , which im going to try as soon as i stops raining, i would spin to the right and throw with my right hand. there really is no right or wrong way to do barspins just as long as you get them done
December 21st, 2008 at 5:33 pm

January 1st, 2009 at 10:19 pm

I just cut my bars down to 26 1/2″…. but my new wheels are getting trued so….
August 27th, 2009 at 8:14 pm
his barspins look sick, but they are very inconsistent from what i’ve seen.anytime there’s a clip of him doing a bar, there’s also at least one where he falls from it, so it seems very logical that he might not be the best person to learn this trick from…simple
October 6th, 2009 at 1:55 am
