Handle Bars !
I Am running chase hawk CULT bars 8.10 rise 28 wide
the feel a little low, therefor i am paranoid about getting my knees knocked so i take my back foot off the pedal every time i throw one.
In your experience !? do bigger bars help ? do they make it easier? if so why?
give me the 411
i been riding for years but this still haunts me

It's a mental thing people can bar with 23" bars and 32" bars. Just huck them
I'm a punk bmxer, I can't do it well so I do it loud.

Yeah, if you try them properly, either on manual or bunny, you wont hit your knees, i used to think the same.

You tried half bars before? They're easier to commit to and easier to land, might help build the confidence for full bars :p

i wouldnt do that. You mught get used to half bars and stick with those, and it might be more difficult to learn normal barspins.

Yeah suppose that could happen, never known it tho, :p, learnt bars both ways like that, helped loads, once you get halfbars caught in the air decently, then when you throw full bars it should come within a couple go's

I learned bars with 8x26 and didnt really hit my knees at all just make sure you straighten them and youll be good.

whenever you're learning bars you should wear knee and shin pads. I never wore them until I started trying bars and they have been the best thing ever. when I was first learning them I has 8.5x29 wide and sometimes on the way back around they'd get caught on my knee and I'd literally have to pull it out. that was on flyout though it won't happen like that on flat lol
