How to Walk Upside Down


 
It’s amazing the things you can learn in third grade when you don’t have homework. Seriously Homework definitely is a deterrent to developing useless yet entertaining talents.

Handstands are  a great talent show trick. You get to see the audience from a new perspective and they get to see a most unusual spectacle. However before you make a fool of yourself in public it is important to first master it in private.

First step is to gain arm strength. It’s pretty hard to keep from cracking your head against the ground if one pushup is your idea of a workout.

 
Step the second Kick Off!!!!!!!!!

This is one of the hardest steps. It takes a lot of practice to get the right amount of force to get yourself vertical without falling flat on your back. (This will probably happen several times)

Once you have successfully kicked up to a hand stand you should begin trying to sustain your time upside down.

Step III In order to increase your stay upside down you should practice doing a handstand against a solid object such as a wall.

You should find a wall and then kick up into a handstand with your back against the wall.

In order to increase endurance you should stay upside down until your arms feel shaky and your face resembles a tomato.

Step IV

Once kicking up into a handstand becomes as easy as  making mac and cheese you are ready to move a way from the wall.
You should not begin this step in a confined space or near anything fragile or expensive. (Your mother may be angry if you do).

In an open space you can begin walking on your hands. Make goals of one or two steps and eventually you can work your way up/down to walking down the school always while people point and laugh.

  1. Nice blog! I think it might sound like a good idea to teach crippled people to walk again by walking on their hands, However, most people would feel really uncomfortable having all that blood in their head.

  3. I've always wondered how people become able to stand on their hands, a skill I lack. Ooo you should also teach us how to ride a unicycle Ian!! :)

  4. Pretty funny! You are right, my mom would be mad if I broke something breakable. I like how you put it into steps. That makes it easier to follow.
