I have a handstand straddle down in my beam routine and I'm having problems...
I fall off around 75% of the time and is costing me in meets.
I cartwheel into it, and I think that's the main problem since I can't cartwheel into handstand hold very well anymore like I used to. When I just simply kick up to handstand (no cartwheel) and straddle down on floor it's more controlled and I land it more often. I was wondering if there are any other variations into it. So far, I'm trying to handstand-pirouette into it. And I seem to to do the handstand-pirouette hold fine so far when I tried it on a straight line on floor.
Any ideas or tips? Thanks.
(oh and sorry for the longness xD)
