So I can touchdown raiz I think, and I can sometimes raiz, but... I can't Gumbi. In fact, when I try and copy the tutorial, I get mindfucked that the hand behind becomes the leading hand and not the awkward hand in a 1 handed cartwheel. Wtf is going on with that? :S

Do you cartwheel to your left? If so, put your right hand down (preferrably across your body so in line with your left leg) and back kick your left leg up simultaneously. For the purposes of my attempt at an explanation, I'm assuming that you will gumbi this direction. Of course, if you do it to your other side and swing through with your left, translate everything to the opposite side.

Your right leg will follow and kick up. At this point your feet should be in the air in a semi 1-handed handstand position. Reach behind your head (around, w/e) with your left so as to square up the hands by the time the left touches the ground. (Since you put your right hand where you left foot was, you put your left hand where your right foot used to be) Your body will twist and arch naturally (to the right, relative to your point of view) to conform to the hand positioning, and you will square up facing where you started. You will land with your left leg first, so that you can swing through with your right leg. I hope that makes sense. Seems complicated but it's just a matter of practice I suppose. :agony:
