RE: @polebird: Pole tricking - Dtube pole combo

in #fitness6 years ago

I was just learning the iguana into handspring the other day. I liked it! Especially since it is one of the few that I managed to figure out quickly

Sort:  

Oh awesome!! Yeah that one took a little bit of time for me to learn. Just curious, are you managing to hold a full iguana (straight legs together or straddle) or are you part hooking one knee before you transition into handspring?

I found that the knee hook made it more difficult to turn to towards the pole but holding full iguana is easy because when you turn, your feet naturally cross around the pole and you can use that for a little bit of support as you push your bum out and drop your legs into handspring, with a small adjustment at the bottom to full straight legs. I think it all depends on how comfortable you feel in head and handstands. I'm a headstand freak so I feel comfortable with the balancing stuff. Leg hooks, not so much
