I decided I was gonna learn barspins but I have a slammed seat.. I was wondering if it's possible to do bars without pinching the seat, and also if you can do bunny hop bars without pinching..cause im afraid im wasting my time trying to learn without pinching.

my seats pretty much slammed and i can throw the bars and get the whole thing .. i just have trouble with getting my hands back on, so yes its possible, just pinch your cranks instead

okay i had the same problem
the trick is
you bunnyhop as level as you can
and then when you throw your bars nose down a little bit
it keeps the bike under you perfectly
don't ask me how but it works

idk man

i can get over a city bench so prolly like 3-3.5 feet

but i've also been riding for like 5-6 years

so 2 feet isn't bad
the longer you ride the higher you can go usually

leaning back helps alot. im trying to learn them tooand its easier to pinch your seat if its slammed if you put it level insted of pointiong at your ass. also try and just manual and barspin first them try to bunny hop and do them.

yea just lean back and throw them at the peak of your bunny hop like kinda hop then suck it in a little then throw the bars out and away from you on the way down then catch them

the more u stress about it the harder it seems. Just get on your bike, bunnyhop, and try throwin those fuckers around. Dont focus on the seat or anything. Fully commit, your gunna eat shit a lot of times anyway
