Whenever I try to do a handstand I fall over or sometimes I wont even get up in the air. Could some1 help me with this? thanks.

-kick with one leg, whip with the other, that should give you enough momentum easily.
-don't be a pussy.

YAH! I was trying for hours and couldn't do it but you made me realize what I was doing wrong. I can hold it for 5 seconds now. thanks man you're awesome.

I wanna stress the importance of this part. If you're scared of falling down, chances are you'll never get a handstand down. Be confident and don't let a couple of bruises get in the way of your potential.

Yah. I put a matress in front of me so when I fell It wouldn't hurt. But that caused me to weaken my arms and fall forward since I felt safe falling. I did one on a regular floor and with some help from chucky I got it right.

just try them on carpet, also practice them next to a wall and try and line up wif the wall so u keep balance coz your bodys stright.....And dont be a pussy

Yup you were probably trying to jump up with both legs, very common problem, almost impossible to do it that way.

well yea i agree with all of them, you gotta kick up with one leg, and if you're not going in the air kick harder...dont kick so hard that you fall over tho, kick with enough force. if it helps...try to do it on a wall...it helps with your hollows too

ahahahaha! man just practice, it doesnt hurt that bad falling. You find a way to fall gracefully if you keep falling. that happens naturally. just keep trying and stop whining, no one can hlep you with that.

It was all about attitude, everyone else did the clapping, not the B-Boys." - Prince Ken Swift
