head stand

Question

Anyone know how to say headstand (as in standing on your head) in spanish.....

al estar de pie en la cabeza is what all the translating tools gave me, and I couldn't find it in the dictionary. I don't know that being "on your foot in your head" is what I want to say, anyone (natives perhaps) know the word for balancing on your head with your feet in the air? (or should I just say that?)

Answer 1

Tooth, I found these possible equivalents:

I. posición de pino, posición de cabeza; like a handstand but you actually rest or steady yourself on the crown of your head;

Defines as, in English: An acrobatic feat in which a person balances on the head (usually with the help of the hands).

Incidentally, in my neck of the woods, headstand also means a shop where you can obtain drug paraphernalia, as pipes for smoking "mota" just as one example... they also stock old blacklight posters and t-shirts with rock themes just to cite a few more items...

Answer 4

I have no idea, but what about "estár de pie al revés"?

Haha, now that I write it, I don't think that would work.

thanks for the effort, but im pretty sure that would be "turned around" instead of "upside down" - toothpastechica, Aug 19, 2011
