You COULD do that.....or you could jus work on Flexibility. I assume when you sit with your legs straight in front of you, you can't grab your toes? That'd help......or you may need flexibility in other parts of your body too (Like your thighs). I find a guy who's flexible can do a sicker freeze than someone who compensates for their lack of.

Course I got that flexibilty problem. Jus lookit my av. lol

Peace.

when my legs are in front of me i can grab my toes fine...i jus cant grab em when my legs are spread apart in the air and me havin to look up at my feet so i can grab my damn legs, all the while tryin to keep my balance. know wut im sayin?

he's right, work the flexibility.. if u wanna grab ur foot and keep ur balance it has to be an easy movement.. ur height hasn't got alot to do with it, i'm 6'4 and can make the grab.. can't hold it cuz it's momentum that gets my hand to my foot... but yeah just keep practicing
