The Stupid Handstand Guide
Written By: BbOy ManHy
Guest Stars: Vice President and BbOy BanShee

Alright you losers,
Im in my BSA class and is very bored so imma make a handstand guide.
Its gonna be the most detailed HS (Handstand) guide in 3 easy steps that you will ever read.
Seeing how most people post threads on "how do you do HS" or "help me on my HS"
this will some how help you on your retarded journey.


EPILOGUE: Prequisets
You need........
-->Some or little shoulder strength.
-->To lose the fear of falling on your back. (Tips provided)
-->And at least access to some open space.

SECTION 1 : The Guide Begins:
The guide its self is crap, so once your done with the guide skip along and go to the Important Recaps & Misc Tips section near the end.

Step 1: First step and the easiest, Stand with feet shoulder width apart (or how ever your comfortable with.) There are two noobie ways you can start a HS, with hands straight or bent up in the air like a dork and by your side like a gentleman. Now if you hands are up in the air like a dork, throw them down to the ground in a calm but strong manner and have one of your legs kick up in to the air. Here’s Banshee demonstrating the dork way, lol.

Hands Up
Hands Up Going Down

Now if you hands are by your side then just place them on the floor and kick one of your legs in the air, Here is Vice Prez Demonstrating this way.

Hands At Side
Hands At Side Going Down

Step 2: Now which every way your started, your hands should now be planted on the ground shoulder width apart (Or to your liking) And one of your legs should have been kicked up. Now to continue with the motion, As that one leg is being kicked up, let the last one (cause we only have 2) follow through and also get kicked up. When you kick your 1 leg or both legs up, you got to control how much power you put into it. To little means your not going up and to much means your going over.

First Leg Kicked Up
Both Legs Go Up

Step 3: At this point both legs should be or about to be in the air and straight. To help balance in this step, most people will arch their back a little bit, as you can see VP is doing in this picture.

Arched Back

Another way you can balance more properly is to use your hands more then just plant them on the ground. If your legs are carrying you forward you will push your palm into the ground, if your legs are falling backwards, push your fingers into the ground.

And here is VP demonstrating the finish product.

SECTION 2: Going Up & Staying Up Without A Fear:
Ok most of the time when first learning HS, your gonna have the fear of falling on your back and hurting yourself.
This little tip will help you lose that fear.

Tip #1: Go into a crappy HS (legs open, closed, twisted, etc.)
Tip #2: Arch you back and just fall forward. If you arched your back enough one or both of your feet should
hit or should I have said "touched" the ground first.
Tip #3: Do this over and over again on grass, sand, concrete, etc and the fear will go away eventually.

Even if you landed on you back, it does not hurt, cause im pretty sure your back absorbs some of the shock. Believe me I landed on my back so many times when I first started out, and it never hurt so much that I was gonna cry.

SECTION 3: Walking on your hands

Walking on your hands for me was a very hard thing when I first started HS for some dumb reason. But what helped me through it was to first get HS down decently, Once I had that I just went into a HS and picked up my left hand like half an inch off the ground and move it about 1 inch forward (Same with the other Hand.) At first the most steps your probaly gona get is about 2 to 3 steps, but as you practice you will gain more and more steps. I suggest learning to move in all directions, Left, Right, Back, Forward and if you want "The Diagonals" Just apply the same concept of how I said to walk forward and apply it to the other directions. But yea as you progress you will get use to taking much bigger steps.

SECTION 4: 1 Handed Stands (1HS)

Removed, because I realized how stupid it was.

SECTION 5: Important Recaps & Misc Tips:

-->When I say falling forward I mean legs over your back and when I say falling you backwards, I mean falling back the way you started.
--> Using your fingers and palms help very much when trying to balance in one place.
--> Arching you back some how shifts you weight evenly.
--> Practice falling forward to get rid of that falling on your back fear.
–> You can always use a wall to help you, but that’s for pansy’s, your not a pansy are you, I hope not.
–> Try to be some where with lots of space because your mind tends to focus on not hitting anything when your trying to do HS in a room full of random valuable or crappy stuff. And when your mind focuses on that, it will then be a little bit complicated to do HS.
–> Your legs positions plays a big role when your first learning HS, to be specific, having them spread out like a V evens out the weight, Having them bent behind you for some people makes HS a lot easier.
–> Your head sort of helps you balance because when you try to look up it arches your back, and arching your back some how helps.
–> When learning to walk in a HS, take it slow then eventually your can speed things up.
–> 1HS take time and patiance, so keep practicing and eventually it will come to you.

SECTION 6: The AfterMath, Final Chapter:

After you have gotten down HS, move on to variations (There are not really variations, just new moves.) Moves like........
Hollow Back
Invert
Side Invert
Invert Hollow
Solar Eclipse and Etc.......

===================================

Then 1HS moves.......
Lunar Eclipse
L Kick
Y Kick
Nike Kick
Pikes and Etc........

Conculsion: Some Quotes and Wise Statements

Practice when ever you can, it helps greatly. <-> Unknown, so Me

if you can't walk on your hands, then you have poor control of your handstands. the less you walk, the more control you have (this is funny because non-bboys, or at least the ones i know, think it's harder to walk). just keep practicing and put your hand down in the direction you feel that you're about to fall in. eventually it'll be second nature. <- > Vice President

Your feet are like your hands. a hand stand is like a regular leg stand <-> Muffin Juice

[Vice President]

just to let you know, the old attachments dont work anymore. so the link to MY handstand guide is broken.

[~silverphatboy~]

hahaha...nice guide ...now i can already balance my handstand but i still need to move a lil' bit to get the balance.

[yiwei]

heyy your handstand guide was dope! thanks for the guide =)

can i ask a question? how do you walk on your hands in a handstand?

i can't stay balanced for very long and a lot of people advise me to walk on my hands. they say it helps in the balance but everytime i try to walk i'll lose my balance and fall.

am i supposed to walk around at all? if yes, how?

can someone kindly answer my doubt, thanks a lot!

[sleepyzze110]

when i walk on my hands, i tend to fall backwards, so i tried arching my back a little towards the front, and i can walk more like that..it also keeps my balance to move my legs around also

[d.s.2.k]

I walk unintentionally. To get balance.

[Gettmad]

[d.s.2.k]

what a stupid guide manky, u n00b and u suck my dik

what a stupid comment gothappy, u n00b (literally) and u suk ur dik

Hahahaha I totally agree with you there ManHy people nowadays really do think it's cool to be gay.

[Insecto]

Well I used 2 walk 2 keep tha balance, and i could keep it for some seconds like and now i try 2 stand in 1 place, and i havent got that yet

[ManHy xD]

OMG VP's new avatar looks like a freaken alien, scary choice.

Insecto its all about finding that sweet spot on your hands. Just go into a handstand and just take a step or two to correct your balance. Once done you should be in a HS for a lil while. that was a bad tip, but dats all i can think of.

[yiwei]
