I think I have like.. a tapping problem or something. I try to tap but my hand comes down and I lose balance. If you dont know how to help me, dl the video anyway, cuz it's kinda funny. Yea, okay. Headspins are fun.. even if I mess up. But it might be more fun if I didnt mess up. Props to whoever helps me.

I can only do one spin and fall too without tapping but if you pause the vid before you fall..neither hand has palms on the ground..that's why.

we gotta learn to just tap before we whip out of control...that's what i'm trying to do at least..

try not whipping your legs, push off with your hands and keep your legs spread for balance, practice going slow gradually picking up some speed

Well I'm trying to put my hands down, but it throws off my balance for some reason. Once I start to put it down, I fall immediately, and it doesnt really give me the time to touch the ground. eh.

i cant see the clip but from what i read above im guessing your trying to go to fast... make VERY small taps in the beginning like almost a inch or two and start to increase it slowly... rushing these moves usually makes you run inot a painful wall that takes weeks to climb maybe monthes.

Your right, that is pretty funny.


My headspins are worse so I should shut up.

aiight bro, the run down.
1. when u go to let go, do NOT just send ur legs straight up. you dont want to try n drill, its a completely different mechanic then doing them normally. You dont send them up for a few reason
a. it throws ur hips off
b. your gonna have to bring them back down to rotate n ur already doing enough in such a short time span

2. Im not sure if you know but in order to tap, ur hands have to come back down Keep them down lower, dont lift them up so high n dont wait nearly as long. ur not trying to spins, ur trying for form

3. instead of sending ur hips up n ur legs flying, dont! Bring ur hips down a lil along with ur legs for stability n balance. NOW...when u push off ima tell u a lil secret.

theres two types of headspins when it comes to doing them really. one is the grab n throw, the other is the reach around. if u just put ur hands down, tap, n kick ur legs at the same time ur gonna get some speed but be off balance. The majority of people will get the reach around method n this might help your hips

when ur going to tap, reach around "technically" ahead of you n tap/throw...now ur legs are forced to play catch up, not only that but when ur do it again ur legs are forced to play catch up twice, once to catch up to the arms, n once to catch up to the throw. it sounds confusing but it helps. The biggest thing with this is u need to realize that all u need to do is lock ur hips n let them go with ur body, NOT let ur legs flail! n watch out for one bending
