On behalf of Expert Village, I'm Paul Anderson of ABC Circus in Hollywood, Florida, and this
is beginning acrobatics. In the last sequence, we were talking about using a headstand instead
of a handstand. Here's a simple trick with a headstand. Remember, you must have a very
good headstand to do this. Albert's doing his headstand. Astrid is going to get up and
do her headstand. It's very important that you don't fall over onto your partner. They're
going to find each other's feet. Then they're going to do that same figure of the bicycle
riding. This time it looks quite different, as they're both upside down. It's very important
that neither person rolls into the other. Stop and slowly come down. Do you notice that
each on their dismounts, they don't hit the mat hard. Everything is under control and
each move is perfected with control. That's a nice figure.
