Was able to knock out 5 x 30s HS today *happy*. After completing that (so I was a bit fatigued) I filmed this for review. Let me know what you think

Yep, that's a handstand. ;)

Looks nice!

 

If you take another video with your shirt off, we can give you more detailed feedback. However saying that, line looks good from what i see. You end up moving a bit from your hips towards the middle/end of the HS, it doesn't look like a real problem as you control from your wrists (and a bit your shoulders) for the most part from what i can tell, just be aware of it and try to minimise it.

Thanks for the feedback Ed. I'll try and film one without the shirt next time I'm not in a commercial gym (they would lose their shit). By the way I'm in Melbourne too. Small world.

Ha, probably time to update my profile. I'm living in Paris right now! Attending a circus school here.

 

If you're looking for a gymnastics gym to train in, I suggest Wesley College. Nice place, nice people, not cheap (but nothing in Australia is).

Oh thats cool. 

Yeah NICA have a class on tuesday, wednesday and friday where some of the apparatus are available for use. But I mainly use that time to tumble.
