footwork on fingertips - 09-06-2003, 04:39 AM

hey sup

i've been trying to make all my footwork go on fingertips, but it seems nearly impossible to do that for more than 15-20 seconds, my fingers just get dead tired. i have no problem with strength (i can hold fingertip planche)
any tips?

You need to adjust your form so less weight is on your hand's.

A man itz not tight doing footwork on your fingertips. Itz easy to screw your junk up if you do them like that. I know this because I use to do them on my fingertips. Now I got like semi-arthritis n if ya at a competition and you get nervous itz easy for your fingertips to slip while doing footwork. Just try to do footwork like between fingertips and having your hand on the ground. But barely have your fingertips out while doing footwork. It funks you up.

it only fucks you up if you don't do it right. doing your footwork on your fingertips makes it faster, cleaner, and it just looks better. if you fucked your fingers up that badly from doing your footwork on your fingertips then you did something very wrong.

like chucky said, adjust your form...and of course, keep practicing.

yeah pretty much and also u dont have to do them EXACTLY ON UR FINGERTIPS! use your fingers too. but if u use ur palms/whole hand ur footwork will look SHIT!

btw you will get blisters and the start of ur fingers when u 1st do em but u get used to it




This one time...this hot chick rings me up and says to me in a horny voice, ''Oh baby come over now, no ones home''.... So I went over to her house and no one was home..

^^^What he said^^^

You don't need to go on the very tip's of your fingers. Just go half way between flat hand and finger tip's. So your whole finger's are on the floor but your palm's are off.
