I am trying to do a turn down on my STP however my leg gets stuck with the handle bars. ie i basically do a half turn down. Is it possible to do on an STP? or is it a BMX only type of trick because of the bike shape??

If you have a photo doing a turn down on a STP it would be great to see?

1. Bike setup
2. Technique

1. Narrower or higher bars will help.

Compromises:
chop bars = (a bit) less stability at (high) speed / down rocky stuff
raise bars = less front wheel traction through corners / climbing

Small changes won't make the bike impossible to ride, but you'll notice the difference.
It's up to you to find a happy medium for the riding you do.

2. I suck at doing tricks. Ask someone with skills. :D

Bar width won't account for anything, you just need your bars high enough so that your leg can fit comfortably underneath.
I was doing them on my STP with 2" rise SIC chase bars with about 15mm of spacers under my stem.
