Multiple FHS

[Lees Dragon]

How do I go about startin to do multiple front handsprings. I can do an FHS from a small run and land....then what? I wnna do a couple of them right after each other.

Practise landing your FHS on 1 foot. then just step right into the next one.

[TKD_Andy]

dan is very right.

however landing on one foot often tempts people just to do fast walkovers. Thats all well and good, but its not a fhs if your legs dont come together as they come over the top.

if you want to do a good gym tech chain of walkovers you will have to bring the legs up split, then together, then split again.

split switches are cool, gym people appreciate the lil things like that. I appreciate them too.

chained fhs are quite fun if you can get them right. Practise mofo.

wow. that sounds kinda weird to do, but way logical. I'll work on that tomorrow. Thnx:juji:

Also, try to keep your momentum going, by not stopping. Stalling your next one/Stopping between = bad.

I got three in a row, but the las tone was so forced. Isn't there a way to get momentum out of a fhs like the bhs

fhs bounder bounder ftw

Run.

[Towlie2110]

Yeah I see that, but still, it can only go so far as the momentum you first put into it.

In a bhs you can go for however long your skill alows you.

[verymetaldan]

just practise. You'll keep the momentum eventually.

fhs bounder bounder ftw

Wrong.... The Win is actually FHS>Bounder>Straight front>straight front full twist...

or some variation there of...

[Towlie2110]

what's this combo you guys speak of?

[verymetaldan]

A bounder is a front hand spring off both feet. A straight front is a front layout. straight front full twist is pretty self explainatory.

Thus FHS>Bounder>Straight front>straight front full twist equals the win

Thus FHS>Bounder>Straight front>straight front full twist equals the win
Do one. Now.

Also, bounders are often called Front flysprings.

[verymetaldan]

Do one. Now.



Sure.... I'll just bust out an olympic level tumbling pass on concrete in my shoes... no problem

[TKD_Andy]

ahh flysprings! theyre great fun.

i can fhs>bounder>Xin, but that was on a tumble track.

ive never really drilled anything above 2chained fhs, i dont really see a point to it unless you're doing it purely for gymnastics. its like bhs, if you can chain say 3 or 4 together then theres no point drilling doing 30 in a row, becuase unless you specifically need it for a competition it wont really do much.

doesnt shiver me timbers shall we say.

fflip to fhs to fflip combos are quite cool tho

[Xenocide]

ok, how bout this then,
Front-tuck, FHS, Pike front half twist out.

[Xenocide]

I can do all these btw


edit: wait, a front into a front full twist... *thinks*
ok, all except that.

[Lees Dragon]

its weird. How do you land with one leg? i couldnt even start to do it?

ps. do you need to push with your hands/shoulders? I use to not push up so much and some times not land on my legs, but now i do push up and it lands me on my legs all the time. But it lands them both, i cant bring my body to land on one leg... its weird!

[verymetaldan]

I can do all these btw


I believe this even less than I believe the lifting stats people were posting in the training and conditioning forum.

Post a vid of your FHS>Bounder>front layout.

[Xenocide]

I'll try.
I'll be tricking on wednesday.

[Towlie2110]

I usually said a bounder was just a better done fhs. And I usually felt bad when I swung my foot up doing my fhs.

Forwards combos are much harder.
