You don't say which wrist/fore arm hurt (I guessing the lower?). A couple of pointers would be a) start away from the pole, not too close b) top (stronger) hand grabs about shoulder height, not too high; c) swing up inside leg, getting ready to bend that knee into chest and 'twist' hips (like cradle spin); d) reach down quite low with other hand, getting ready to wedge yourself away from pole with it; e) push up with feet, look upwards, find point of balance<BR/><BR/>Wide span between hands to really use them to brace yourself away from pole (like Carousel hold) helps.<BR/><BR/>Obviously this makes it sound easy, it's not, just needs a lot of practice. Even now I only get it 1 time in 10...Bert & Flo Handmadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17222800964729947670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4253110006207174234.post-76683154822146229792009-04-05T00:25:00.000+01:002009-04-05T00:25:00.000+01:00I am so jealous!
