Ground Transitions

Mostly used to quickly move from a prone position to a standing one. The Kip-up is done by first lying on one's back, and bringing both legs high into the chest before kicking them upwards and away from the chest. If done correctly, this action puts some pressure on the neck and the back of the head, which creates a rebounding effect that allows the performer to get his feet under him and land standing up.\r\n\r\nThe arms and hands can be used to take pressure off the head and make the trick a little more easier to do.

The Star Kip-up occurs when the practicioner goes from the ground back to his feet by spiraling his legs together, shifting his weight onto upon his shoulders, and pushing off the ground with his upperbody and arms.\r\n\r\nThis trick generally begins with you back facing the ground.\r\n\r\nThe design of this trick also causes the body to rotate 180° while kipping upwards, so when you land on your feet, you should be facing the opposite direction you were when you initiated the trick.
