 here's how i learned... manual barspins. go a a fairly slow speed, pull up the front wheel and huck the bars. make sure you clamp those knees. When you go to throw the bars, JUST DO IT! if you mess up, you're not going fast enough to get really hurt.. and you'll usually be able to catch yourself. throw them hard, if you throw with the right, keep your left hand about over the top tube ready to catch as they come around. once you get that down, time for airs. go out of a quarter, and do basically the same thing, but spin about 45-90 degrees in case you mess up. throw the bars on the way up, not the way down. it takes A LOT of commitment. believe me, i still won't do them unless its a fly out. only done it on one dirt jump. scary. but they're a lot of fun and the chicks dig it.

 footjam tailwhips.. hmm.. well first you have know how to footjam. it's easiest to try up a small bank. get a good speed, bunny hop and bring the back end up more while jamming your foot in there. (i use my right foot). once you have that down, try just rolling along and take your foot over the top tube, jam it in the wheel, and kick the back end around. get that, then start hopping into it. hope this all made sense. i'm still not great at the footjam twhips, but they're coming along.
