Origin of the Barspin

by: Kurt |

Tunney wrote up a article about the origin of the barspin over on the ESPN blog. It had Chris Moeller’s part from an old S&M video which had a barspin in it. Definitely a good read for sure. Imagine landing a half barspin on vert? That would be so scary!

    Never, in the history of civilization, has one man embodied the ethos of Not Giving a Fuck to the extent of Chris Moeller. With the possible exception of Caligula.
