Default best way to do a hand stand?
ive been trying to do one since last night, and i cant seem to get it down. i start off in 'sprinters' position with my hands out front, and one leg pretty close to my legs and the other pretty stretched out. then i just push up with the leg closer to my body. i can get up and pretty straight, but thats about it... i fall and in very random directions. i did this for a few hours until my thighs couldnt take it anymore, which is nice cause my wrists can take it... i thought they were dead...

anyways, anyone have any tips? am i doing it completely wrong?

gain your balance first by doing them against walls. Then work your way out with your hands.

you have to learn to fall backwards or else you'll either be afraid to do it or hurt yourself when you actually do fall

Get someone to help steady you at first. You'll begin to memorize the position and be able to repeat it without help. Partial hyperextension of the elbows helps take some stress off your muscles and keep you steady.

I've never tried it before but I learned that yesterday in health class

You need to learn how to adjust the right parts of your body to counter balance falling over hehe.

I learned that all from skatboarding....some of the positions you land in just to make sure you don't fall, hehe...
