so Im left foot forward, throw bars clockwise. I can 180 barspin fine (throwing the bars in the same direction as I spin) but when it comes to 360, It seems utterly impossible.

heres the real question.

Should
I learn barspins counterclockwise, or should I try harder doing them goofy?

I throw into my back foot and it really doesn't matter I just need to keep my foot on. It'll be different for spins and shit but if you can throw them back foot then just make that your regular bar

I have seen people do trucks like that. I throw bars that way whenever I try them and I x up that way and stuff.

If I were you, I would try both. Work on switch bars and truckdrivers and see which comes first.

I'm same as you for barspins (even if i never had really learn them).

To understand how much it´s easier to throw them with the good hand while spinning, stand up, feet on the ground, pinch your bike and throw a bar as usual, then try to "spin" left and right.

Now if I was like you with "regular" (oppo) barspins locked, keep doing them while doing straigth line barspins, like gaps, fakie, in or out of grinds or simply while bunnyhopping.

But to being really confident while doings trucks or any other barspin spin, I highly recommend you to learn them unclockwise.

Everyone should try barspins both ways.

When I hop, I throw clockwise. When I spin em, I throw counter-clockwise.

I learned them both ways way back in the day. I am left foot forward and spin to the right more comfortably.

I suggest to everyone trying everything that can be one way or the other, to try both ways. At the least you become more well rounded. smile
