Free handstands · Awesome! Hybrid Calisthenics

Free handstands

I dont know if we are allowed to ask questions and such but since it seems I can only post here, Ill give it a try. Today was the FIRST time I did a free handstand! I felt grass was the safest. As usually I always do them close to a wall out of fear. So today I did a bunch of cartwheels, then handstand to cartwheel. I didnt hold it but a couple seconds as I just wanted to feel safe with dismounts.

I think next time I should try handstand to forward roll? Or what are other ways to bail thats controlled and safe if you overkick? I just dont want to fear hurting myself. I still have a ways to go to doing pike to handstand as I need to be stronger when I lean further over my shoulders to get my hips over my hands. As I need to use a wall behind my shoulders/head to help for now lol.

Im just pretty happy I finally got away from a wall!! And was the first time since I hurt my rotator cuff that I went to a calisthenics park and my shoulder feels fine now! I just dont push it too much after that.
