Dying young in midair

flexagonA friend of TBC's died last weekend in a car accident, and invincible Steve Irwin too. It really makes me think how pissed I would be to die young and not see some of my longer-term plans play out.
Also, I realized lately that I might be bad at jumping into handstand because I'm bad at generating force when I jump, period. Once I was good at that, but all these years of slow-movement exercise might have taken their toll. Time for a few plyometric exercises maybe.

so i just gave up on working on it on my own. what we do in class is things like tuck jumps, bringing your knees as high as possible; jumps with your legs straight, just bouncing off your toes, but not really bending and flexing your ankles much either (i don't really understand these...); and jumping forward and then back as far as possible.
