shouldermount somersault
hey guys!
So tonight I tried the shouldermount where you take both your legs one side of the pole and flip all the way over? So I had a go really close to the ground, worked out the grip and hey presto, made it over……kinda. The problem I’m having is that I keep catching the back of my head (occiput) on the pole and pulling my head forwards, on one go I saw stars and I think i’ve just about given myself whip-lash ——- ok maybe i’m being a bit dramatic, but it does hurt! I think i’m twisting to the side as I come over, can anyone tell me why or give any hints to stop this before i break my neck??
thanks in advance! -

Are you talking about a SM flip?

I think your talking about the SM flip…that what I call it. I’ll have this one in my new lessons, but for now, here is a video I took of myself when I was learning the move. I did it into a split, not onto the pole. I’ll teach it both ways in the lessons. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

what an amazing move. i mentioned this w comment on vid but do you need to have your hands spread apart more than normal in the double baseball grip into shoulder mount cartwheel? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif

yeah thats the one! I can already see from your vid V where i’m going wrong, I was taking my legs to the wrong side of the pole! Thanks!

woohoo! congrats! I just got this one with in the past month and it’s fun and scary all at the same time…plus it’s killer on the shoulder!! It reminded me of how bad the sm felt when I was learning that! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I shall be trying this one!never seen it before https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif x

Its much less scary if you scoot way down and try it. Almost like a SM on the floor, but a little higher so you don’t bang your knees on the way over!!! The first time I tried it was with Fleur, at the studio where she teaches and I was so scared, because the have hardwood floors. I kept landing to the side of the pole not behind! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
