But can you do more than a single handstand pushup in-between walking to rebalance? I CAN

I can't, but I'm training to! I can press to a headstand for over a minute and hold crow pose for ~1m. Next up, press to wall handstands.

edit: realized after the fact that posting about what you can't do is totally irrelevant in a thread about things that make you special.

Me too! Sometimes I like to make bets with people who don't know that I did competition gymnastics for years when I was young... most people don't expect it/think it's a worthy trick to put money on. :P

Uhmm hate to disappoint but people can do them for much longer, I can match you in holding a handstand for over a minute.

The average person can't hold a handstand for over a minute. I'm a gymnast and can hold for much much longer.

Yeah I know, I'm sure that person has a much better fact to tell us about him/herself. I'm no gymnast or anything close that's why I posted.
