Maybe today I'll try standing on my head to see if I like the view...
I tried to find a place in the house where I wouldn't cause too much damage if I fell over. I decided to perform my experiment in the family room, with the couch as my "spotter". Much to my surprise, I remembered the first part--the tripod, where you're on your head and hands, with your knees on top of your elbows. After a few tries, I could do that. However, much as I tried, I couldn't get past that point.

To add insult to injury, I gave myself a headache! I don't know if I'll be trying this activity again.
Handstands are easier on your head, but more difficult to maintain - just try doing it against a wall to lean on.
