I dont exactly have headspins down but i am pretty closse so i dont know if want to listen to me or not...its ur choice.
But my advice would be to just practice headstands every day for about 5-15 mins. U dont need to be able a headstand for an hour, but if u can balance for a good 3 miniutes easily, ur all set. Note: your fingers should point away from your face when u do a headstand. your legs should be bent at the knees right foot in front, left in back.
Try balancing while swinging your legs cw then ccw. Once you have that swing you legs in the opposite direction u want to spin then swing them back and lift up ur hands...spin 1-5 times and then bring them back down...keep practing this and eventually you wont have to stop, instead you will be able to just keep tapping.
I suggest using a beanie, u could lose hair.
NOTE: do not try and go for extra spins, if u r gonna fall, just fall, or u could seriously hurt ur neck.
peace

Solid Advice homie. Instead of going 5 spins and tapping, just tap 1, tap 1, tap 1, and then it'll keep going on its own. Don't try to put to many spins befor eyou tap.

Kyo is right...also wat i used to do is spin with my hands tuching the floor..like i mean spin slow with your hands pushing you around..so you can get a feel of it. then after that just kick your legs and spin with out hands. you will fall the first times but the more you practice the better you get.
peacee good luck

yeah like omega said: practice for balance.. that's the key if ur new to headspins..
and like kyo said, practice tapping and use one leg for kicking...that's better for beginners...
and if you can have a helmet to spin on...it's better than the beanie for practice..
good luck..

biggest thing, DONT kick ur legs or whip ur hips until u learn how to tap n stay up...that comes later




Dont bite the hand that feeds u, eventually everyone helping u will get annoyed...jesus.

Beginners giving beginners tips without understanding what they are saying is probally one of the worst ways to spread KNOWLEDGE.....which is the key to anything in life.

i can tap for about five rotations before i fall over at most. i tap about every 2/3 of a spin. when i get my momentum going i can usually do up to three spins with one tap between each. newayz my question is whether i should continue practicing with just tapping or is my balance good enough to start practicing with kicking my legs.

as long as u arent falling over when u let go, u can try to get some more speed n let go...

tho if u dont know how to get ur speed up there, ur rotations without hands will be limited
