you're bringing your legs up, but not swinging them. gotta whip that shit.

how do i whip my legs....like do i kick them harder?

n also, what do i do to stay up...cuz i always spin half a circle and my legs somehow spread and weigh me down

any tips"?

Like VP said, you just have to whip them. Whip them on the way up. You gotta learn to whip them toghether to make a more effective kick to spin more. If you can spin more accurately, then you'll have more balance automatically. Try it out, grab a pencil or a pen, hold one end so the other is on a table or something. Spin it, and if you do it right, it'll spin it a whole bunch before falling. Same principles apply.

To actually help: When you're going up, bring both legs toghether from a spread to really close toghether. That'll create a bunch of momentum so you can spin. Remember that you gotta have your wrist right so you can actually spin.

hey i have the same problem, i go CCW...so to have rotation, can i apply the same technique of Headspin? my left leg gives the whip?

Well, if I was you, I'd try whipping both legs. Bring them up and whip at the same time (ish).

Carpet sucks, try it on a hard floor.

^ I learned it on grass =P

do i simply just bring them together? or do i have to bring and whip in a special certain way?

o ya. and while i'm spinning. do i have to focus on leaning on my right hand side ...since i'm spinnig on my right hand? or is it natural and i don't have to think about balancing if i do the first parts correctly?

one more thing. how come when i spin...i know i'm supposed to spin on the opposite side of my thumb, but it seems that i always end up spinning on the side of my thumb..or like right under the thumb???
