@Ray40- I know that many riders now have their seat all the way down in the seat post. 

 

They make these 1.5" seat posts now.  My suggestion is that if you want to really up your skill level at bmx more quickly is to raise your seat up a bit and get something that has padded sides so that you can pinch the seat between your knees.  It is quite a bit more difficult to throw barspins if you cannot pinch the seat.  Even if you're nowhere in the ballpark of learning barspins yet..... learning to be comfortable on a bike setup to do them is probably good start.

 

I'm not suggesting that you cannot learn to ride w/ your bike set up like that.... but my suggestion is to raise the seat up a bit and make the handlebars parallel with the forks.  I would also not run any spacers underneath the stem.

 

If you make those changes please let me know if it helps.
