  CARTWHEEL MOUNT INTO STRAIGHT EDGE

  Posted by joni1 on September 21, 2009 at 1:09 am

  Hi everyone. The cartwheel mount into straight edge is my ultimate goal. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumright.gif Any tips or suggestions for prepping to get this move would be greatly appreciated. I can do a front handspring into an extended butterfly but but cant seem to kick my legs back up into a cartwheel mount . I split grip, kick my inside leg back and up but my outside leg don’t follow and drags my inside leg back down. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif Help please.

  This is a short demo I made a while ago, the key I have found to holding the CW in a straight edge position is not a true split grip but to have your hip (on the leg that is kicking) drive in towards that elbow of the top arm, so the top arm is not fully extended, but slightly bent. I find this gives me more control of the move and keeps it straight. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
