Skyscraper Guide (Clip Included) - 06-17-2003, 02:46 PM

This is a very simple and to the point guide

If you dont understand tell me

Ite
===========

Skyscrapers are for u who dont know, they are a handstand, and u walk around in circles, like a 90, but not spinning, just walking and switchin hands.

ok

First things first

You need a pretty decent handstand to do this, and some idea of which direction ur going

Once u can handstand in one spot for about 2-5 seconds, u can start

Get into the handstand position(with your legs any way u want, i open them, u can close em or tuck wuteva)

Now the tricky part which might make u fall
Step1:
You want to lift one hand off the ground, if you go CCW then its your left hand, if CW then your right,

once u got this hand up, move it back, and your body will turn with it, KEEP YOUR OTHER HAND STUCK TO THE GROUND, then once u got your left/right hand moved back, ur body will turn to the hand,
====================
Step 2:
then pick up the opposite hand and move it more or less next to your left/right hand
and ur body will turn still
=====================
Step 3:
then move ur left hand backwards again, and you shud be facing the opposite direction
=====================
repeat the steps to do more turns

NOTE:
The further apart your hands are, the slower u will move
If u close your legs, then u will move faster too, but its hard to control

Problems with learning:
People cannot balance, or are throwing themselves into it, like trying to do a flare start, then skysc, which makes them lose control.

People put thier hands too far apart and get nowhere fast

uh, this takes a while to master, i tuaght myself, and it took about 2/3 weeks to get ok
=====================

HERE IS A CLIP FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE CONFUSED WITH HAND PLACEMENT:




I treat the law in this country like a motherfucking joke
cos if i'm willing to smoke the president while he's sniffin his coke
you kno it don mean shit to me to cut a fucking cop's throat

Underground for life.

great guide dmd, BUT PLEASE STOP STICKYING GUIDEZ

THE SOLE PURPOSE OF ME TAKING MY TIME MAKING THE "move guidez" THREAD WAS SO THERE WOULDN'T BE SO MUCH STIKIES

srry, itz jus that u alwayz seem ta be the mod stikying stuff where it doesn't need ta be stikied

aite, i added it to the move guidez list

i'm not a mod in this section but it'd be helpful if most of the guidez that are in this one would be unstikied




email me at freshbboy@hotmail.com
aim me at "Wondering Lobz"
