Article: Keep the scooter still and lift the front wheel off of the ground to practice the barspin. As you stand on the scooter, lift your non-dominant hand away from the handlebars and spin them towards your body with your dominant hand. Keep rotating the bars as far as you can move them. To keep your scooter still while you practice, you can put the back wheel up against a wall. Alternately, you can just stand on the brake on the back of your scooter to keep it from moving. You could also position the scooter so that the front wheel is over a curb and isn't touching the ground. Once you have rotated the bars as far around as you can with your dominant hand, reach your non-dominant hand under the dominant one to grab the other handle as it comes. Keep spinning the bars towards their starting position, rotating your dominant hand back to a normal, forward-facing grip as you do.  Keep on practicing until you can do this one smooth motion. It’ll be much easier to do the trick when you can spin your handlebars without thinking about it. Once you’ve got the movement sorted, you can practice spinning while the scooter is moving. Stand with your legs shoulder-width apart and swing your scooter between them so it moves front to back. When the scooter reaches it’s highest point in front of you, try and spin the handles. This is the best way to mimic a real barspin without you having to leave the ground. In order to do a barspin, you’ll need to get some air with a bunny hop. Start riding your scooter at a comfortable speed and then jump straight up in the air. As you do, hold onto the handlebars of the scooter and lift it up with your body. Practice doing a bunny hop until you can jump easily and as high as possible.  The higher you jump, the more time you’ll have to get your barspin perfect and regain control of the handlebars before you hit the ground. See how high you can bunny hop. Make sure you keep your feet firmly planted on the deck of your scooter and keep your front wheel straight when you land your bunny hop. Start riding on your scooter at a comfortable speed and do a bunnyhop, keeping your scooter level. As you reach the highest point of the hop, use the hand movement you practiced to spin the bars around and catch them again.  Hold on tightly to the handlebars and bend your knees slightly as you land to give you more control over the scooter when you’re back on the ground. If you’re worried about crashing, you can practice on a softer surface like grass first. You don’t need to be moving to do this, just practice jumping and spinning the bar until you’re ready to try it while moving.
