Advanced · 8/10

The 1990 is an advanced power move where the breaker spins vertically on one hand. It requires strong handstand control, shoulder strength, balance, and spin technique.

Note

Powermoves can take a long time to learn and even longer to master. Build the foundations first, train safely, and do not rush high-risk moves. Progress usually comes from consistent practice, conditioning, clean technique, and patience.
