ok, my form could use some work (235/365)

but that is actually quite therapeutic.

Interesting fact: It turns out I can only cartwheel leading with my left hand. Leading with my right hand = falling down. Times I fell down before twigging on to this = 2.

Inspired by Caro, and twins with Minty. Ooh, and Specs has video!

You're left-footed! (But righthanded, I take it? I would love to understand the neuroscience behind this, because it's really common, but alas, I don't.)

doggedknits says:

Yep, I'm going to blame my bad form on the boots, which really are so, so heavy.

Yes! I'm a goofyfoot and a rightie.

Nah, its easier than it looks. Try it!

Totally fun. I might have to do one every day!

I, too, am a left-footed rightie. We are a very cool breed, indeed.

Whee! How very fun! I really need to go do a cartwheel now! I think my crappy little camera is just too slow to capture it though - even if I do it slowly as Minty suggests. I'd have to stop mid carwheel.

doggedknits says:

Um, just a tip for anyone planning to bust out 20 cartwheels in a row after not having done a single one for like 10 years: have advil handy for the next morning. Just saying.

C'mon start a Flickr cartwheel group! You know you want to! ;)

doggedknits says:

Turns out there already is one!
Posted 15 months ago. ( permalink )

doggedknits says:

Gah! It is barely 40 degrees and sleety raining here. And despite the fact that my muscles I did not know existed are protesting my cartwheel endeavors, I want to do more! Why isn't it 70 here?

throughtheloops says:

Yay! Thanks, just joined! Now to bribe the kids tto take some photos of their crazy mother tumbling around like a 12 year old! (Not that they haven't seen it before!)
