I'm just curious. I'm making that my summer goal. Any tips?

LOL. I can't, but I imagine the trick is to keep at it, practice daily, and use the wall at first for support. Good luck!

I can't do this, but I have some friends who can walk on there hands. Most of the are short so I guess the shorter you are the easer it is cause they just do it with ease and there not even that strong in the arms.

The bending/curving of the legs is primarily to remove some of the torque. If you have your legs straight, and they lean one way or the other, it becomes much harder to right yourself than it would if your legs were bent. Also, as you mentioned, having your legs bent does allow for better control of which direction you wish to travel.

The head is a mixed one. Some argue that you should keep your head facing slightly behind you, others state to stare straight at the floor, or straight ahead. I prefer to stare slightly over my shoulder and behind me... at the floor. Learn not to keep your back stiff. Let it be relaxed.

At the beginning wrap your wrists for added support, lest you injure them quick. Can't offer much more except... practice.
