Bboy IceT · **1990 trouble -** 10-06-2005, 09:49 AM

sup all... i need help.. ill appreciate ur help =)

if i cant do a 1 handed handstand... does that decrease
my chance of doing a 1990? bcus
i don seem to balance.. i only can do the startin..
but wen i do the winding bit.. i tend to fall and
do 1/2 a spin...or else my body is tilted on the side wen
i go on my left arm...

pls reply peace V

Well, I guess I'll come back and answer this post first. Feel appreciated and lucky. :P just playin'

Anywayz, to start, a '90 is done on your left hand. So I'd think that getting 1 hh's would help you out :P

I highly suggest that you get down the 2 handed ones pretty well first so you can get used to being upside down. If you headspin and stuff then you're more than ready to '90.

So yeah, get the 2 handed (if aplicable) then the 1, then learn to spin, then learn to '90.

Hope I helped :P

wen i tried to spin.. i only spin nearly once..
cus like.. wen im spinning... my whole body spins but myhand jus stays and doesnt spin
and its causing my elbow to twist and making me lose my momentum
wat can i do to make my hand spin as well?

nossa man
I have the same trouble...
I can get to the position without problem but
by hand just stays and it snaps...can someone help?

ja's finest · 10-11-2005, 05:20 PM

i have the same problem my elbow doesnt snap though, ha ha
anywayz... ive heard that its bcuz ur fingers r on the ground it stops you from spinning
when you spin in a 90 you should spin on the lower part of your palm, i havent got the hang yet though i cant lift my fingers,
sum1 told me that i should bend my arm a little bit and that will help me to get of my fingers and more up onto my palm, havent tried it yet though good luck to you, i think that'l take a lil bit more strength

BboyRash · 10-12-2005, 07:01 PM

Ok well, you should spin on the bottom of your wrist, and on the side opposite your thumb (easiest way to put it) and the lifting fingers thing, some people do it, some don't. It's all a matter of preference. I normally don't do it but I sometimes do for just no reason. For good practice, I would suggest practicing it with your arm straight, head as close to your hand as possible, and keep your legs up (if don't do those already).
But you should try to put all your weight on the point of your hand where you spin.

aiite.. now i have 1 spin going... hmmz... and i collapse...
i have been reading other forums.. and ppl are all saying... whip ur legs..
but i dont get it how ppl say whip ur legs... can some1 define the meaning for me pls. thanx =0

BboyRash · 11-02-2005, 06:43 PM

Ok I'll try. When you headspin, you in sorts, throw your legs up (and/or to the side) to create spin. that's the same principle when you get up into the 90. When you have one hand down and you are putting your second one down, you simultaneously lift one leg after the other. You lift both legs spreaded, so that as you rise, kick them toghether. You don't however, kick them upwards enough to lift off the ground and screw yourself over. As you kick your legs toghether, you go into a 1handed handstand and you spin. Getting it down with the right form is a simple 90.

Sorry for the wall =P hope it helped!

Yamikage · 11-07-2005, 04:29 AM

it helps a lot if you have the balance for one handed handstands but if you dont have it thats ok too

neibouringboy · 11-09-2005, 02:39 AM

The key point is when the hand your after foot certainly must unbend
