    Pile up stacks of spotting blocks, have them stand on the blocks with there hands on the bar, then they jump to the handstand.

    "Weird" Gymnast Habits

    I point my toes all the time. If I'm standing in line or something I will rock back and forth pointing one toe and then the other. Our gym owner thinks its funny and says that my old coach must have really rubbed off on my since he was always on us about pointing our toes.
