i dont know guys, but whenever i flip.. it gives me headache

@KenDiriwan - make sure you're blowing out through your nose during your flips. Sometimes the water going up your nose can cause this. Also, pay attention to what you're eyes are doing. If you're WIDE EYED through the turns, there's always a chance your getting dizzy. I find that I have my eyes open as the turn starts, then they close during the flip, and open again when the feet get on the wall. Good luck, and visit the website for more info.
