When I try a headspin, I whip my legs, and for some reason I do a really slow half spin and fall to my knees. Why is this?

[streetmage]

well, i sumtimes have dat problem, its becoz u are a lil afriad of hurting urself and u are not whipping strong enough and ur not spinning on the correct positon on ur head.......im not saying i know how to headspin but dats just the prob i find in myslef......hope it helps

when i headspin, i have the same problem with the falling after 180 degrees. im not afraid of getting hurt, or falling or anything. sometimes i whip myself around as fast i can, or just take it slower. i think i might need to just find my balance in the speed that im spinning in.
what do you all think?

[Da1NdOnLe]

whip slower.. you know what dont whip, get your legs in a 'V' shape and just practice tapping from there. after you get a good feel, then whip, itll be much easier.

I used to have the same problem, and I relized when I was whipping my legs were bent. Then I straightened them on the whip and it help me alot better. So try straighting your legs, and hopefully this helps.

if you are falling too fast to the ground it usually means that you don't know how to tap... learn how to tap before you put speed into it... going fast doesn't help if you don't know what your doin... and yea keep them legs straight and above the hips

dude... i do around two spins and then fall....
then i try to tap.. but when i put my hands on the ground, my legs drop... i think my problem is the position of my legs... does anyone have any idea..?

[FRAGGLEROCK_7]

freaka is not paying attention tapping is not just placing ur hands on the ground and whip wrongggggggggg answer... When you tap u must twist ur upperbody ahead of you faster than ur legs when ur legs catch up then u place ur hands down and whip again... most of the time i don't whip my legz after i get speed its best to use ur hands and keep ur legz balanced and above ur hips to keep from fallin when I let go .... if u don't tap like this u will and everybody else will fall all the time..... work on ur taps first and start off slow if ur not tapping right... when you get it then make sure u twist ur hips really fast when ur about to fall this can save u when u catch urself early to rebalance ur self... oh yea its only ur legz when they pass ur hips but my legz dip all the time but its eazy to fix and its usually when I warm up.... extra advice us a helmet for long practices we dont wanna get bald spots or burnin sensations when we take showers now do we.... keep practicin

push in the direction your going (with your hands) at the same time as whipping then ull get more speed. u dont necessarily need to tap it depends on the type of headspin u try to do.

[FRAGGLEROCK_7]

Tapping= is when you place your hands on the ground and whip your legz while your hands are on the ground... if thats not tapping then what is it??????????
Cuz what u said is basically the same thing that I am saying

[Mistah P]

he's talking about a oneshot drill

I think.

[Swiper]

Learn to doggy paddle your headspins first. Then learn taps at the same time as "one shot drills".

Then learn glides from taps.

[Hektik-J]

i know drills but wots a "one-shot drill"?

[Swiper]

I think he means drills from one tap. Like headstand, wind legs as hard as possible and fling for as many rotations haha

[Hektik-J]

oh i do them i got 6 rotations
