Cartwheel

1. 1. With arms overhead, stand in stride position with the left foot forward and the left side toward the direction of wheeling.
   2. Bend quickly to the left and place the left hand on the mat. At the same time, push off from the mat with the right leg, kicking it vigorously upward over the body.
   3. Continuing in one smooth motion, push off from the left hand to the right hand which now contacts the mat. Keep the arm, the hips and the knees completely straight with the legs spread.
   4. Keep the head up throughout the stunt.



Note: The entire body must be in the same place throughout. The stunt and feet must pass directly overhead.

Spotting: Stand behind the performer and move with him. Grasp the performer at the wrist with a crossed-arm position to allow the arms to uncross as the performer wheels.
