Standing up from a fall :)

[Bazza]

Still can't do it, I think I've almost got the right technique but still can't seem get up without grabbing on to something.

I find it very awkward just kneeling in them. Are you supposed to balance on your knees and toes?

i also find it hard, i just cant do the last bit

p.s look at your messages bazza

[dominion]

Lol, thanks Bazza!  I have to re-upload those, in the correct orientation one of these days.

[Bazza]

Hope you don't mind dominion, I've combined them into an animated gif.



(It may take a while to load at first, it's still about 4.5mb)

lol!  it's a miniature me!   cool gif though, and I definitely do not mind.  Anything i post is free to share, and modify... as long as it isn't being used to generate a profit.

I still can't do it without grabbing on to something. *throws a Tantrum™*

Dominion, Your gif has been rearly useful for me. I can get up easier using your technique.

You need to get your position just right then push up hard....

Anyway nice post

[zackiz]

Dominion,you are the man:D

I'd like to stress that its vital you learn how to get up un-aided.

Seriosuly, everyone should spend at least half an hour getting up, grounding, getting up, grounding and so on and so on. If you do it enough in practice when you're in the street and need to do it I've found it does carry a nice "WOW" Factor as everyone things you'll need help. Its not uncommon to have people offering to help you up I've also found.

I think this is most important bit in slowmo. 

Right leg almost upright with right arm in front of knee holding on to side of footrest. Left knee slightly raised with left hand supporting on the floor. Then finally throw your body upward as you let go with your right hand, lefting your left leg up and straightening.



Right I think I've got the theory.

now i know what to do, i just need to do it now, the bit im having problems with.

[Bazza]

I don't like to fail, but this occasion I'll have to admit defeat, I'm just not physically capable.  I don't have the strength or the flexablility.

If I fall and having nothing to pull myself up on, I'll just have to take  them off. Alternatively just never fall again.

lol, i tried again last night but i didnt do it, im getting closer.

[whiteclaw]

can i take the *.gif for my site please?

[Lukey]

Are we all doing our training boys and girls? Any vids?

Just so you know, it can take 5 or 6 failed attempts but when you get it right the first time its all good from there. Trust me, I know.
