learn to cartwheel

this is seriously hard.
people do not help either =P
there’s nowhere you can practice doing this without somebody seeing you and thinking you’re an idiot because you’re basically just rolling around and kicking your legs up in the air..
damn you gravity!!

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…
