Peach to handstand, bent arm

Other names for this skill: Basket swing to handstand

C value skill

• A peach to handstand is similar in motion to a clear hip to handstand on high bar, allowing for a greater pike in the bottom phase of the skill.
• There is a tendency to throw the head back and look for the bars, which will cause an arch and loss of upward motion.
• The head should be kept in as long as possible, and the toes should be directed at the ceiling.
• Working neck kip to handstand on floor while keeping the head in throughout will help develop this feel.
