Cartwheels

Post by Dat »

I learned how to do flipside cartwheels finally. It really requires concentrating on torso muscle control. See if you can do them both sides.

You ever seen tricking? My buddy can do some pretty crazy flips. And he's a big guy too. I'll see if he can show me some vids, and I'll post them here.

I slammed my face to the pavement when I tried one-handed cartwheels.

... Nope, not even going to try again. :oops: :lol:

This one's pretty nuts. Excuse the crude humor at the beginning, lol.

I remember trying flipside for the first time it was weird, but it didn't take long to learn. I can do one-handed ones now too. maybe walking on hands practice helped with that.
