Head-over-heels

[squirmelia]

I wish I could still do a head-over-heels, but since I grew taller, I've been scared of how far away the ground is.

Two words:

Crack cocaine!

you are not tall enough

Nah, baby bouncers are the way of the future, just don't hit your head on the door if you do bounce. But you could y'know flip over and literally go head over heels or base over apex. =)

Been a while hasn't it?

I'm 6'03" and I can do a forward roll from standing... is that what you had in mind? If it is I can show you how to do it reasonably safely.

Start from kneeling, and then work your way up over time...

I could just balance some on my heels, I suppose.

Should I get stilts?

I can't even do a forward roll from kneeling anymore! I have lost the skills gained in my childhood.

So, if I spend many hours kneeling on the floor, I will eventually get there? :)

Baby bouncers, yes. I suspect there must be more adult versions of them.

Well, you might fall asleep. If you then later wake up and find that you are lying on your back, then by a process of deduction you must have done a forward roll. Skill relearnt, crowd rejoices.

Careful, forward rolls may lead to headstands and backflips.

[squirmelia.livejournal.com]

I only wish those were doable also.

Rubbish

More practice. Don't fear brusing, it just reminds us to be more careful.

It's too difficult!

[kiki-mog.livejournal.com]

Still reckon baby-bouncers. Not for controlling entry to clubs though. And not a good hobby to have either.

[squirmelia.livejournal.com]

If I fall asleep, I might dream about doing forward rolls, which might be close enough.

I never grew taller. But I don't think I know what is a head-over-heel, anyway.
