While you’re thinking about it, try a two fingered hand stand.

I had the privilegde of seeing this done; very very slowly. The person started fron the typical feet-folded-in-the-knees sitting position. Then placed a finger on the ground. Slowly lifted to where he was just two inches off the ground. Slowly raised a bit higher and started unfolding his legs. Went to the position where he was straight as a board and had his elbows tucked in his sides as he supported himself one foot off the ground, then changed to the “candle” position by arching backwards and then went to a handstand. He never touched the ground with anything other than his fingers, and the whole thing was in slow motion. He was about 14, and had come to the city recreation center for further training. He quickly realized he was way above what they were doing.

And I realized I had just seen something very, very special.
