Yippy! Work on the split first, Because your legs are in a V it requires less balance than legs straight up. If you do try a true straight edge….be sure your not arching your back, you don’t want to tip backwards. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif Oh and the farther away from the pole your hips are the harder, so its fine to keep them close until you get stronger and better balanced.
