i can do a headstand and my balance is quite ok,but when i try to swing my legs n let go of my hands,i only manage to turn half round and i'll fall..how do u tap ?? pls help
just stand on ur head then walk around in circles with ur hands so you can get use to using ur hands then after you get that push off with ur hands (don't use ur legs) and go a little distance then catch yourself! keep practicing until U can do like.....1 rotation with tapping then you can start using ur legs..!!!
but..i can swing my legs n let go of my hands n spin for like 1 quarter round,i can't continue the spin. Like if i try to spin and when im trying to tap the second time right i will just lose my balance >.<"
realli..u mean..i should shouldnt move my legs at all..only my hands ?? n btw when i tap rite,issit my hands MUS always keep at the 2 position..as in..like both hands infront of my face instead of like changing the location of puttng my hands ?
try moving in a circle on ur head with ur hands only so you can get use to using ur hands then you use ur legs to spin short distances and catch yourself,as you pactice you will go farther and farther til' 1 or2 rotations and catch yourself then just practice from there......oh and your hands,watever feels more comfortable to you as for me I keep mine in front of my face...!!!
lol ok....but the problem is...when i try 2 spin properly rite,i let go of my hands the 1st time den the 2nd time when i wan 2 continue the spin i will fall..but i can spin a little bit n catch n spin a little n catch...
Maybe the floor is not smooth enough...cause my floor are not those kind of smooth floor .. Its those..tiles... so maybe its because of that..but anyway thx for your advices
haha wow well uhm i learn headspins tapping without a problem. ok look when you are in the headstand stay like that and if you can balance that practie swing your legs both direction like your starting a headspin and if you dont fall and have good balance from that, keep you legs str8 up and use your hands to do all the work. if your going ccw then use your hands and place then a little to the right and pull your bady so its spinning a little, thats a tap and keep going til your taps are less and less til you only tap like once every spin then try headspinning without tapping
