Upside Down for a Bit (2023/167)

Time for getting everything in balance again! Whether it is amateur handstand attempts, professional equilibrists, or a bit of acrobatic gymnastics - you'll find it here.  We came across an article recently called "The Lost Art of the Handstand" - which seems a bit extreme. Any kid starting gymnastics has to show a handstand as part of a floor routine and, before long, on parallel bars and pommel horse also. It's very basic and, in fact, if you train in the correct way and go in easy steps, pretty much anyone can do it. Once you are up on two arms, it is surprisingly easy to graduate to one, especially (surprisingly) if you are being supported from below by someone else, because they largely take responsibility for the balance. "Balance is not something you find, it is something you create" Ordinary pictures first, then guys, and videos further down. Hope you like.
