how to avoid ‘leprechaun legs’ in cartwheel mount?
-
I have hardly tried handspring mounts, but I got really close yesterday! You all get ready…I am so doing leprechaun legs for St. Patty’s Day. I can’t wait. 😉
-
I get the leprechaun legs!!! I find it unavoidable but have never been shown how to either. My husband takes photos at my shows and he just has it take them every second so the pictures end up like a flip book. I get really good shots that way but some really crazy ones too like the leprechaun legs into a cartwheel handspring!!! Lol!!!

Ok…so, you can go all the way over in a handspring? I think I have seen this in a video, but having a hard time picturing HOW. Does anyone have a link? 🙂
Luvlee–lol.

I saw the picture and busted up laughing! I had a feeling that that was what it was, but having a visual is even better! I think it just takes time and change in technique that would help. Like you’ll have to stay really mindful to at least hold one leg straight and pointed. Then maybe muscle memory will take over and then you’ll be able to work on the other leg.
I’m looking at this site at work and Thank God no body is really here right now. I really busted a gut! I cried a little.

Actually I think We should all (or who ever wants to participate) should take pictures dressed in Green doing our version of leprechaun legs, in honor of St. Patty’s and it was inspired by the Lovely and Hilarious Adele Dazeem, lol Who saw the Oscars or even the recaps?! No in inspiration of the Lovely and Hilarious Ms. Sparrow.

I’m down. LOL!!!!!

Ahaha! That’s a great idea, Cantezina!! Thank you for the smile! Mwah!

found a pic, added a little limited editing (maxing out my editing skillz) and am giggling at this silliness. too bad I couldn’t manipulate his hands to the ‘pole’. hahah

I totally am not even near doing a cartwheel mount at this point in my poling. but I did this reverse grab position and kind of lifted my legs out to the side. I totally just flexed my feet and did a little heel click in honor of your picture. I was laughing in class when I tried it. now I come home and see the leprechaun picture, it is cracking me up.

hee hee! that’s so cute! I’m stoked about this lil thing. and I love St Patty’s day anyway. lol

You can dead lift it…but I like the little back-walkover look of this one. I am doing a cup grip, but you can do a split/true grip as well… and with a split/true grip you can go over to a bow and arrow type move (I will record it this week for you). Notice, you start on the back side of the pole and go up and over the other side of the pole.
If it is a new leg free rotational move, I have gotten used to slowing my descent with a foot (and that it how it can sometimes become a bow and arrow;-))

Aha! Thanks!!!! Gorgeous dance. 🙂
-
I so wanna take a pic doing leprechaun legs!!!!

lololol this post is awesome! We have all been there struggles of the cartwheel mount. Try letting one leg lead the other, if both legs aren’t up at the same time you may be able to avoid the leprechaun
