It can be used in many ways. Some including: as a transition from one place to another (following the handstand, you could proceed in a forward roll, or front-limber); as a way to go into a stunt (the "flyer" goes into a handstand and the bases proceed to pick her up into a stunt); or it could be a way to practice for a back-hand-spring(s).
