    I’m actually surprised that more people don’t teach how to fall it catch themselves.

    my worst fall was out if a twisted grip handspring I was trying out my new itac (level 4) and didn’t think about starting with simpler tricks. I like this itac for static moves but in my experience any rotation or slight twist of my hands it loses grip, its worse than oil. needless to say I fell and somehow slammed the left side of my face into the pole and amazingly landed in my feet. I had a huge knot on my forehead and my eye was a little brused but I washed my hands and went right back. I’ve seen quite a few falls working at the club I’ve been at for two years and its always nerve wracking to see someone fall but its a risk we all take. I always try to figure out an “escape method” for my tricks just in case I feel another catastrophic failure coming and I feel like my escape methods help with my transitions as well.
