Well.. headspinning with a beani/beeni or whatever those 'hats' are called might get you a stupid looking head.. lol.. because of all the pressure, you might get an egg on your head o.O like tom n jerry shitz0r

Everyone in my crew uses a helmet for long spins (over 10 rotations) and a hat for anything less because if your gonna do it for a long time you will get a blad spot. As for what kinds of hat and helmet you can use any hat that is thick, you need a hat, not a cap, something that would keep your head warm is a good idea because it means it is soft, thick and comfy. As far as helmets go, Any helmet that is re-useable, if you look at battle of the year video's you'll see they usually wear skater helmets or biker helmets, look at some video's and then go find em. Happy hunting!

I was practicing my taps for the last 2 days and i felt the top of my head... and it felt like there was this one spot that like caves in o_O. Its normal now but it scared me.

I recommend using a headspin beanie or headspin helmet, which can both be purchased at cypherstyles.com. I got mine at a jam.

I always use a skate helmet when i practice for multiple reasons. The first because it doesnt hurt like shit if ur on a hard surface, second because it "protects your hair". I dunno if it really does make you lose hair, but im not willing to find out the hard way. Third, it is a great way to practice your spins because you can gain so much mommentum off the sleek surface of the helmet. Doing this will allow you to focus more on your form, and get an overall feel of what headspinning should feel like. Once you get the feel of it, the balence and muscle memory, you can progress to using a beanie which is a bit harder and slightly less safe. For practice id reccommend always using a helmet, but dont go around to clubs and dances carrying around a helmet, just in case you decide to bust out some headspins. Use a beanie for that

. In a formal competition bring a helmet tho. Btw... you can buy a simple skate helmet for about 20 bucks at any sporting goods store.

hey does anyone have pain on there heads when they try to do head base moves i mean i cant get to the top of my head cause t hurts so much sometimes and it leaves me with a bunch of pain for like a few days and should i do it more to make my head strong ?

bball4lifexD · 08-23-2007, 07:38 PM

if ur hair is greasy and not relly long then u culd spin on tiles or wood floor something thats slippery with little friction

BBoy_J-Man · 08-23-2007, 07:48 PM

K everyone freaks out cuz they dont feel their head until it hurts.. People have mis-shapen heads. Headspins will hurt the top of your head because you have all your weight on it and are spinning. Sometimes your floor burn your head and that makes it hurt. As far as loss of hair, I could see it happening, since I do headspin and find hair in my toque.. But enough to have a bald spot? I dunno about that. I doubt it tho.

WTF?

UH OH.

thaxplosiv · 08-24-2007, 05:25 AM

well, almost everyone in my crew has got one of those headspin hats. maybe you've seen one: its like a fuzzy hat with a flat top, and we used to put that net that construction workers use on buildings on the top of the hat and put some soft stuff inside the hat. a bboy from my crew does like 50+ spins with that hat.
