I always want to be able to stand on my hands and eventually be able to walk on my hands! I am able to stand on my hands against the walls. Now the challenge is to walk!
Does anybody know of a Website explains the technique?
Thanks, and sorry for being silly

Somedays, I'm grateful being able to stand on my own two feet - much less stand or even walk on my hands. Can't help ya there, coolbaba, sorry. But welcome to Free Trainers, anyway.

LOL...About 20 years ago, I used to be able to :o)
If there was a technique to it, I didn't know <smile>
I just started out with my feet and hands on the floor and pushed off with my feet...trying to bring my body straight as I did...Many times I ended up pushing off too hard and landing on my back :o)
Once I was steady on my hands, I started walking..

So keep trying I guess...<smile>....though (warning) you may get a few bumps and lumps on your way to learning how :o)
Welcome to FT and good luck.

Well at least you weren't in danger of getting the "It's been posted a million times! Check the archives!" type reply from us! Hahahah sounds like fun.

One tip that may or may not apply.. I taught myself to ride a unicycle years ago... and one thing that handicapped me was the fact that I was using my neighbor's fence to steady myself if I ever felt like I might fall. I felt like I was getting no where. Then one day I got to the end of the fence and once I got past it, and there was no more fence I did great! Using the fence as a support was holding me back. I got to the point where I was delivering my newspapers on my unicycle. Boy I got some funny looks. =)

First, hand stands and hand walking by coolbaba and jefado. Now drio and his unicycle! Sheesh! Your killin' me guys! Okay, who's next? Who here climbs Everest regularly? Balloons over the Atlantic? Won 5 olympic medals? Just curious...

...and to think I was feeling proud this morning that I got all the grass cut yesterday, attended my 2 younger sons' hockey games, and managed to help my youngest with his homework (all before getting through "baths" and "tuck in" time) so I could spend a few quality minutes with Mrs. TenorSaxManDave after she finished doing laundry and cooking dinner.

I think I'll go get my ear pierced, get a tatoo, buy a sports car, and take up cliff diving! I'll show you - I'll show you ALL!!!!

Boring "mid life crisis" Dave.

Just teasing, jefado! You folks do have some cool tricks, though! I'm very jealous!
