how?

[supergoose1980]

first off im new on here so be gentle, i havent ridden a bmx for a long time and recently i found my old supergoose lurking in the back of mym mum and dads garage. Its gonna need a fair bit of work but it will be worth it. I do have a question many of you will probably find stupid, i like most people riding bmx's in the 80's watched rad and this is my question how did they manage to spin the bars through 360 degrees as it looks like they had front and rear brakes and no giro?. Anyone know?
thanks
Si

Potts mod (modification) Hollow bolt stem

"A lot of things happened in the freestyle world in 1984 :
The Potts Mod came out. Steve Potts invents a hollow-bolt system for the front brakes. It enables riders to turn their bars without the front brake getting tangled around the handle bar."

how did the back one work?

By pressing the lever   

On a serious note they more than likely had an extra long cable
