Talking 2-handed handstand - when will i be ready? - 01-10-2004, 07:07 PM

Hi,

I am wondering. Im a wuss, and i only did handstands against the wall. I tried handstands with no wall before and i fell on my ass pretty hard

What are some tips you guys have to give me to make sure i am ready for a "no-wall" handstand so i wont fall on my ass again? Should i be able to hold a handstand for a certain amount of time on the wall? Should i try to move further away from the wall?

Thanx

there is real time to be ready, u just gotta hav the guts to do it. Try it out in ur backyard or something (but remove all the sticks in the immediate vicinity...) and just try. Ur not gonna die if u fall over..remember...fall OVER to ur side...

Things that might help:
[Head]Look upside down (so your body looks | PERFECT STRAIGHT)
[Legs] When your about to fall, twist/spin your waist and drop your legs (like a japanese squishy rice thingy)
~Optional~[Elbow]Bend them down like a _|, and youll tilt to the other way like ultraman__26 said. (do this only one hand)

Have someone hold your legs while you are doing your handstands without leaning on the wall.

I use to use the wall method then when I went to the park I just decided to do one and held one up for 5 seconds, after that I just do random handstands anywhere.

your going to get use to just falling but what everyone said when falling using your legs so you don't land somewhere you don't want to :P
