I had a long day of riding, so my efforts werent that great. Im trying to learn a single to double peg wheelie to bar spin. Im thinking I need to lean in a little more, because I keep looping. I only nailed this trick once today. I just started the single to double yesterday. I'm happy with progression. Honestly I'm happy with my overall progression even though it aint much.
I'm open to suggestions on this trick and any others yall may suggest. After seeing this vid should give yall an idea of where I'm at.

When ever I do this trick I have my seat as a point of balance while I am no handed. It looks like your seat is very low so you can't use it that way. You can do it with out but its a bit harder. Try riding your peg wheelie with 1 hand. That will give you a good chance to feel when you can let go and spin your bars.
See ya Soon

Yeah I figured that I need a seat. I ordered a 140mm seat post should be in around friday. If I need more I'll get a longer 1 when I go pivotal. The one handers I havent tried in a while. I nailed it two in a row today. I was also working on doing cirlcle trying to get them tigher. Thanks Mark.

I'd say keep practicing the double footers till they get more comfy. double foot, one handed practice will help too, and when you can do that, try turning the bars 90 degrees one handed. at that point basically throw the grip to the other empty hand. the balance point for double foot barspins is where you take almost all the weight off the bars so you're no longer pulling up on em. when i learned them i used to try and do double footed wheelies only holding on with my thumb and first finger wrapped around to get that "weightless" point dialed in. good luck! you look like you'll have it soon!

Thanks Mark and Jim. I worked a little on one hander and single to double peg. Double peg I maxed about 20' I was happy with it. I did manage a half bar spin to half bar spin ride out. ;D I have no stability, so I jumped on another bike with a seat. I braced leg and dang it was easy single peg at that. I will hopefully have my seat post around wedsday. Then I can get my spin on. ;D If I can remember to bring a camera I'll show my turbine attempts.
Btw Jim that 90 degree bar pass worked out doing it slowly. Passing the grip to the other hand. cool
