    Incase you aren't aware, handstands are standing upside down on your hands for a brief to extended period of time.

    I used to be able to as a kid but not sure whether I can now.

    Inspired by supporter DCC's backflip discussion
     
    I used to be able to do them until I sprained my hand. Lol
    Couldn't do it now though, I have some weird unknown condition O_o
     
    Does doing a handstand in a pool count? :B

    No, I don't think I've ever been nimble enough to do something like that.

    I've been doing Gymnastics in P.E. I suck hard. But then in swimming I rock. So I can handstand in the pool. :3
     
    In a pool, yus. On a trampoline, yus. On the floor resting on the wall, yus. On the ground, nup.

    :)
     
    I have tried and failed,
    And i really don't want to do it again =(
    I kept trying all the time when i was 11. It was fun.
    Seeing as i thought that i had done it X.X
     
    I try but I don't really succeed. My P.E teacher hates me, because I really can't do anything gymnastical. I hit my head once while trying a handstand and have been sorta scared to do one since.
     
    Nope, never have been able too...I tried...but failed a lot of times when I was 9....
     
    A few years back I was able to do a handstand, while using the wall next to me as support. If I were to do a handstand without support of a wall, then I would only last standing a couple seconds while taking a step or two with my hands. Though, I haven't tried in quite some time, so I don't know if I still have the ability to do a handstand on ground. As for a pool handstand, I can do that one quite easily, but looking above it seems many others can as well.
     
    I actually can walk doing handstands, took capoeira classes when I was a kid. Oddly, I don't have the balance to do kartwheels...
     
    yes, i was in gymnastics when i was little. the pool is easy, because there's no gravity or whatver.
    teaching someone how to do one, is a totally different matter however.
