blueyes Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 This will be quick.What is the difference between a HS done with the stomach facing the wall vs. the back facing the wall?I thought a HS is a HS.If I can do a HS by kicking my feet up against the wall and have my back facing it is that how I should do it? Or there is a reason for doing HS with the stomach facing the wall... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Malin Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Try both. The stomach against the wall feels so much more like a freestanding HS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueyes Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 Yeah coreathlete... but then I fear falling on my back and throwing it out because I have to bridge to catch myself.With back facing the wall at least I can land ELEGANTLY. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairbob Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 simply roll out of the HS or walk your hands out and feet down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Weaver Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Also learn to do a half twist and land on your feet. This will help when you start doing freestanding handstands and handstand pushups on parallettes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blairbob Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 It's a bit easier to cartwheel out of a handstand than pirouette as a pirouette ( turn ) generally requires a solid handstand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Weaver Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Blairbob is right, and explained it better. I don't do a pirouette, I kind of cartwheel out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueyes Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 You see guys... this is what it should be about. Nice people helping each other out with no attitude.I'm starting to like this place already... Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Weaver Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I'm actually thinking of submitting my particular dismount off the parallettes for a difficulty rating. Although it looks like I'm bailing due to a loss of control from a handstand position, it's actually a very challenging manuever, what with the bent leg position and the thump as I hit the floor on my feet.

blueyes Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 Hey mark, buddy... you're a better man than I am. At least you can do it as much as you can. Yes, I'm just beginning but my hats off to those people who start doing it, stick with it and work at it and can do it in whatever shape or form they can.
