learn to cartwheel

I don’t think I’ll ever be capable of adequately expressing the highest level of happiness I am capable of feeling without this particular skill.

I did gymnastics for a while when I was in midddle school. But I remember being about 5 or 6 years old, and my dad teaching me how to do cartwheels in our backyard.

Also, I remember the one time I ever played soccer (around the age of 7?)... at the end-of-season slideshow there was a photo of me mid-cartwheel on the field. I was mortified.

I have always want to do this. I have practised a lot over the years to no avail…my mission is to be able to this by the Spring (for damage limitation I need to practise outside- weathers bad at the moment!)

ha i don’t know, this was pretty easy for me since i learned it when i was like 5 (i’ve been a gymnast since i was 2). i quit gymnastics three years ago but i can still do it! wooohoo!

ahhh so i may not have mastered it quite yet but with helpful determination of my friends i finally did a real cartwheel, now i just have to keep practicing!!

I hate not knowing how to do this. I keep trying to practice on the green late at night but always end up getting hurt. I think I’ll need help with this.

l attempted this at the w/e but l really am shite. Can’t get my body to stay straight enough. l’m not defeated yet though..just need a sunny day to continue practice!

There’s just something unnatural to me about my feet being over my head. I working on that though…
