Handstand

The handstand is a strength feat and hand balancing skill, often seen in free running on high or awkward obstacles, which involves balancing one's bodyweight solely on their hands.

The simplest entrance into the move is by starting in a press-up style position, and kicking each leg up to get into the handstand position, however it is not uncommon for free runners to push into a handstand without momentum from a kick using only their upper body strength. The most common form is with a fully straight body, or sometimes a slightly arched back. It is possible to make the handstand easier to balance by splitting the legs, which lowers the centre of gravity.

Variations
With sufficient upper body strength, there are many variations of the handstand.
