  They are gymnastics terms. A cartwheel on the pole resembles a doing a cartwheel on the floor (forehead leads and moves in a direction towards the floor, legs swing from the side and up), and a handspring resembles doing a back handspring (the back of your head leads and goes down, legs kick from the front, backwards and up).

  Some call all of the variants a “handspring”.

  Yep Lina is correct. Here’s a visual with Full cartwheel, cartwheel mount and handspring. Note, this is not the twisted grip handspring. 🙂 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sag8kwfYBmU&list=HL1383233314&feature=mh_lolz
