What is the last move you do called and how do you train for it? I've got my 1 arm to meat hook down, and I'd really like to work on whatever that skill you do at the end is called.

@Lavastine It is supposed to be a 1 arm back lever. I couldnt hold it well there. I learned it by going from the meathook and slowly releasing out, and the stronger I got, the further I could go. It wasnt as hard to learn as I thought and it became solid quite fast. Be careful about your elbow when doing this one as there can be a lot of strain

niiice! good job fella! u got some nice skills! how old are you? where you train?

[mikah90]

@acrobatjones Thanks!.Im 26, so I started out quite late, but Im having good progress. I am in the second year of the circus education in stockholm. You are one of my inspirations actually, your strength is off the charts. Working hard on the 1 arm presses, and kick up from crocko but a lot of work to do yet. Are you with Soleil now? I believe I saw a clip of you from there.

@mikah90

i was with cirque but wintuk finished on january 2nd, so now looking to do something with just handbalance, probably will build a number if other shows dont work out for me.

yeah just keep working! i am doing the same just training hard and working on new stuff, sweet thats a good circus school i hear.

what did you do before circus school?

kick up from croc is a bitch to learn, my best advice is to relax, if you try and force it to quick then its difficult

[mikah90]

@acrobatjones Hope things work out for you! Before school I was bboying. Met a coach 3 years ago who taught me the principles. I had decent strength, so it went fast to the basic 1 arms. Trained for 1 year and got into stockholm.

I am actually quite close to the kick up from crocko, but I still need more training though. How did you get that insanely strong at that stuff? You have a mad 1 arm press too though, but you can just lean craaazy far front on 1 arm! Your 1 arm planche is incredible.
