true.

i can't do em, but if it was me I'd just practice doin flat3s while pinching the seat for a bit until youve got that motion down, then when that feels comfortable, started throwing em.

Good luck, I think stevie churchill has a how to on the come up, maybe check that out if you ain't already.

I would do them the same way I learned Trucks in general. Just start spinning 180 bars harder and further around until you get them. Practice as much as you can, hop higher too.

Hey i can do them from time to time!! I landed a few good ones a while ago. Lately it has been too cold to really try them consistently haha

You gotta pop the three like you would a hop bar. Whrn you pull you gotta push out and keep your legs straight and pinch the seat. I think 270 bars on mellow banks are the best way to do it honestly. You can go at it like a 180 bar until it is almost a full 360. I am sure youll do it if you can 180 bar.

I think it is better to think of the 360 as a slower spin you will have more time to throw the barspin. They are easy off a steeper bank too. But do 270 bars on a mellow bank and you will advance into a full 360 bar. Pop the three high and push out as if it were a barspin. Because it kinda is haha. And when you do the three you are gonna turn your head but have your eyes on the bars. It is awkward but you can do it.

so I should throw the bars at the same time as a 180 bar and just focus on spinning a bit harder?

I'm pretty sure there are tons of serious riders on the forum and site. You will most likely tap starting off though.

That's how I learned trucks. Just started spinning 180 bars harder to rotate more. I had then down in a few days. This is not hopped mind you.

And I almost ALWAYS have the bars caught before I am much past the 180 point.
