I need help with double kongs.
« on: August 04, 2010, 07:49:41 PM »
I want to learn how to do double kongs, I have my kongs down just fine. But tapping, then kicking my hips up in the air scares the hell out of me because I feel like I'm going to faceplant, any suggestions?

Face the fear head on. You'll never get anywhere unless you take risks. Getting a little blood and bruises is part of becoming a great traceur.

P.S. I face planted when i started double kongs. It's not that bad. I got a few scrapes and had to walk it off but i got back up to keep on going.

It's hard for me to get over fear. I stopped doing palm spins for 3 weeks because my right mand missed and I cut the whoe left side of my face open.

We live in south georgia and our parents would probably never take us to a jam thats over an hour away. There's not many good places here in Tifton anyway. There's only one good one that we liike a lot.
