Yay, congrats!
I'm working on handstand spin at the moment. It's fucking well hard and damned if I can get it.

FUCK HANDSTAND SPIN!
I HATE IT. Seriously, that's the only move I've been completely unable to do, in terms of I just can't take my hand off the floor. I don't know what it is, I don't know why it scares me but I just cannot make that second hand lift up. I half managed it once, but as soon as I took my hand off the floor my body panicked and my legs immediately clung to the pole in a tangled mess which took me ages to get down from!

I can get past that,
I just seem to take my head the wrong way round, and end up clinging upside down to the pole, only having moved about two inches round.

yeah that's how I ended up
I struggle with putting my left leg out at 90 degrees away from the pole, I always feel like I'm just going to fall off horribly so as soon as I start to try and spin I just automatically cling to the pole like wet tissue.

We'll have to practice it next week, with mats of course!
