Re: Handstands

AS a kid yes. Even on a surfboard - just. Now. I can hardly do feet stands sometimes. :/

Re: Handstands

As a child, yes I could do handstands.

I definitely wouldn’t dare attempt to try now!

Re: Handstands

We used to have a test called 'crouch balance' at school. A kind of balancing on the hands. Not as difficult as handstands, which I couldn't do. I was pretty good at headstands though.

Could do them as a child but there is no way I would attempt them now.
