So for the past few weeks, whenever I would practice my front handspring on floor or vault, my coach has always been telling me that if I arch and not pike I'll land it just fine (and not on my back, ouch!). I've never really understood what he meant, so just kind of ignored him.
Today, I was attempting a handstand limber onto my couch, and I was getting annoyed because my feet kept hitting the top of the couch and not the pillows I had set on the cushions. Then it clicked, I wasn't bending my back at all!
So I finally landed it with my feet on each pillow... But I was stuck! There was no way I'd be able to stand up, coming down would land me on my hand, and I couldn't roll over? What to do
After landing on my head a couple of times, I finally managed to kick back over onto my feet!!
I checked on YouTube, and apparently all I have to do is land with one foot down (not on the couch, either XD) and I'll have my Tick Tock!
Definitely not something /I/ thought I'd be getting anytime soon O:
It's so weird how the 'arch' thing just suddenly clicked to me, and now I'm on my way to a new skill ! This ever happen to anyone else?
