I had to use a hand to stand up, but as I understand the scoring, this only costs me a point. I watched the video at the link. I can sit correctly, and by pushing with one hand, I can push up a little bit onto my feet from a cross legged position, then stand with ease. However, without the hand, I can't rock forward to balance on my feet.
I'm the tower of power, too sweet to be sour. I'm funky like a monkey. Sky's the limit and space is the place!
