Re: Handstand Challenge - Something a little different

I have a buddy named Joe who is pretty good at doing naked keg stands but you wouldn't want to see a picture of that. What has been seen cannot be unseen.

Re: Handstand Challenge - Something a little different

Thanks Kevin and TxK for the helpful advice. I'm looking forward to getting better at this and seeing others do the same.

Mike, yes, I need to empty my pockets first. ;)

If you want to go up, pull back on the controls. If you want to go down, pull back farther.

Re: Handstand Challenge - Something a little different

The genetics of being a 5 foot nothing fireplug have a little to do with it. Not to mention the dude probably started gymnastics when he was 3. Very cool!

I know I'm fat and out of shape but dang. My 4y/o snapped this photo as my arms collapsed under my fatness.

Re: Handstand Challenge - Something a little different

I could do all that in High School. Not even once since. I think the last time I tried I might have been slightly drunk, or mostly drunk,,,I don't recall. Anyway I finally mashed my face pretty good and figured out how the next day. I had an uncle once upon a time though. Due to over all patterns of body hair growth and general simian build I hold the opinion that he had an unusually high percentage of Neanderthal genetic code in his private genome. I don't think it mattered much to him wether he walked on his hands or his feet. He was splay footed in the extreme and my mother always said that he didn't know his ass from his head anyway. He entertained us as children with his exploits while upside down; walking or even running vast distances just for fun. He was a sailor man. USN E-9er after 28 years. Rest in peace Chief. I took after my paternal side.
