The only missing ingredient is pinching the seat between your calves to keep the bike from floating away
E: or between your knees depending on seat height, yours may be closer to your knees

I also took up barspin. You are doing a bassdriver, but you need to throw. And you are not pressing the pedals and the saddle. Press them well and everything will be fine. You are doing the rest correctly.

If you want defeat your fear and keep your left foot on the pedal keep in mind that more your head is close to the bar more you are safe , why ? Because if you bend over your bar your hip goes backward right ? So the bar pass. It can be frightenning to bend over , you think you could fall head first 🥶 but in fact , as l said you above, your hip goes backward leaning your legs forward and preventing you to fall over your bar… If you are enough rigid on your foot you ll never fall over the bar but possibly on your ass, not so bad. Over the time you ll learn to close your knee for pinch the seat but it’s not important. The secret is closer your head is from the bar safer you are 😉 (sorry for my english l hope you understood what l said)

Do your best Bunny up => Nose close to the bar => hip back => horizontal back => do a classic barspin (like when your backwheel touch the ground , no bunny hop) . Don’t think , just do what l say you ll thanks me later
