My Headspin Progress [mar01,2009]

Woops, just found some old footage on my computer from March, figured I'd upload it, cause I'm excited to see as the headspins slowly progress and at least keep some documentation of it!

any tips on doing glides?

[vladtepesdrac]

@MyKi424 Get REALLY comfortable with tapping your way around, and then eventually you'll feel it and let go and glide. Controlling the glide is a whole other story, that'll take some time to develop with leg/hips/back position. You develop a feel for it. Just get into a glide, and pay attention to what your body does when you fall down, then try to counteract it. It really takes a lot of concentration, any small move while spinning can result in big changes of body orientation.

when you do this do you keep your back and neck flexed or is it relaxed

[vladtepesdrac]

@angrytaco123 Back is pretty flexed whenever you're tapping, but other than that nothing else is really tense or anything.

You DONT want to flex your neck, flexing it while spinning might casue you to pull a muscle, bad idea in general. Always relax your neckmuscles, make the shoulders take the emphasis.
