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

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"
