Help on handstand and cartwheel...

[Falconn]

Ok so I have been wanting to do tricking for a while I have done parkour before though I stopped and I am in awesome physical shape right now muscle-wise. I am trying to learn the basics, and by basics I mean like the prereqs for the basics :(. I can do a front roll but that is pretty much it how do I learn how to do a handstand and cartwheel because I am trying but I can't seem to do it. THey should be easy because my 11 year old sister can even do them and its embarassing I can't even start the basics of tricking until I get these moves can anyone help?

You don't really need advice for these basics. You just have to keep practicing until you get them.

Haha, the fact that your eleven year old sister can do them is pretty irrelevant. Eleven is quite old enough to be skillful.

Anyway. What is your specific problem? All I can say at the moment is to watch other people's cartwheels (Juji does one in the aerial tutorial) and copy what they do - timing, foot placement etc.

Remember - go forwards not sideways. You can just start really low and lame - sort of jumping over your hands on the ground and working your way up. Shouldn't really be necessary though.

Handstands are just practice. Just do them a few times a day (watching that you don't jar your wrists).
