Nailed Pincha!

I nailed Pincha Mayurasana! Only for one second and a half , and against the wall - but still. It took me several tries kicking up. I kicked up using right leg, which felt stronger. Nothing happened. My feet grazed the wall but my arms faltered, so I fell softly on my upper body. I tried kicking from my left leg - and voila! a forearm stand. Yeay!!
