Rider Lands Huge Barspin At Popular Utah Jump Line
One of the cooler new trends in mountain biking creating a setup that allows a trail bike to barspin. This opens the door to many new combinations of tricks on full-size mountain bikes that were previously limited to dirt jumpers.
Jordy Scott has joined this trend. Watch her air out a large barspin below.
In this video, Scott attempts to land a barspin on a large step up. This jump has the benefit of soft sand as a landing. Even though it is still a painful surface to crash into, it is not as bad as hard ground.
Eventually, she is able to get her hands back on the bars and ride out of it.
Making a bike barspin ready requires special cable routing. Anyone who has ever crashed and twisted their bars knows that it is not possible with a normal setup.
Often to make barspins work, riders will drill a hole in their top cap and run the front brake through, leaving enough room for the rear brake to wrap around the headset just like a dirt jumper. Often riders will opt for wireless shifting to not have another cable to worry about. See one example of a barspin-ready trail bike below.
Jordy is a professional rider who has been in multiple disciplines. She started her career racing BMX, then pivoted to mountain bike racing. Now she is in the process of adding freeride to her repertoire. Additionally, Scott coaches the next generation at clinics. She is truly well-rounded!
