Hi! I have a few questions about cartwheels and front limbers. Thank you so much for taking your time to read/answer these questions!
1) Is there a trick to keeping your legs straight besides pointing your toes and really practicing a lot? I make sure to lunge forward and practice a lot and try to point my toes, do you need to be able to hold a handstand for this skill?
2) How do you do dive cartwheels? I always try to jump/dive into them, and then my hands give out and I can't kick over.
3) For pop cartwheels, I find it really difficult to take my hands off the ground at the end because my entire body weight is on them. I can't push through my shoulders.
4) I get scared of one handed cartwheels, they seem difficult for me. Is there a way to practice for these?
5) For front limbers, I can stand up from the bridge, but I can't flip over into bridge from a handstand unless I have a spot because I get scared. Is there a way to overcome this fear?
I'm trying to get my aerial soon, just wondering, I know everyone moves at a different pace, but how long did it take you to learn your aerial (after you just got your cartwheel)? I really want to get my aerial and front limber. Thanks so much!
