  Cartwheel mount on spin

  Posted by korinne on August 31, 2013 at 5:28 pm

  I'm extremely comfortable with cartwheel mount. I have been doing them successfully and securely since 2009. I can do it on both sides. I can hang out in a split grip ayesha all day. I am TERRIFIED of doing a cartwheel mount on spin. I'm certain I have the strength and once I get there the balance. Just a super mental block. Any advice/suggestions?

  Have you tried a handspring mount instead? I find that the handspring (upward) motion works better on spin than cartwheel (downward) motion.

  Tried both. I should clarify- I'm terrified of split grip ayesha on spin.

  1.  Come to NC

  2. Get into split grip ayesha

  3. Have me spin you

  4. Have me let go

  5., Repeat

  I could have sworn I had seen you do this on spin in the past!

  I can't remember but you are able to get into ayesha from caterpillar right?  For some reason I am thinking of a night where one of those you could do from cartwheel but not from invert.  How are you with the other grips on ayesha?  Can you work on spinning invert to ayesha and get comfy with that before trying handspring/cartwheel?

   

  BTW, how is your TG lift going?  We seriously need to set up a skype jam!
