Look up how to do a round off. Then go to cartwheel after that. That'll help teach you to get the lift first.

Maybe you aren't kicking up enough momentum once your arms are down. It makes sense to do it too weakly if you're nervous about it. It's like a bike: the more speed you put into it, the steadier it gets

Try to think like a wheel, be the wheel

You need some Creed power, bro.

Have you done cartwheels on flat with skates on yet? I'd start there

It looks like you got it and just need to tuck your knees up and commit real hard, you fully rotated and one foot came down solid.

Is there somewhere with a bigger deck, so that you could have a bit more space to land while practising without immediately having to then go down the bank?

It looks to me like you’re reaching for the coping when you throw the cartwheel, which is stealing your momentum. If you pump up the transition more, you likely won’t have to work as hard to get your legs over.

That’s cool. Handstands and cartwheels are pretty impressive. Are you trying to hand walk with the handstand too?

I’m just trying to do a human flag/Iron Cross, and grow my lower body so it’s disproportionately larger than my upper body.

I just wanna be able to comfortably do 30 pushups at once (without my knees) by the end of the year.

Trying to do the splits

Just tryna hit 225 on bench.

I finally ran a sub 7 minute mile barely basically a full on sprint lmao, i started at 12 min a mile

Ahhh - Simon didn't say "hands down."

I did this once. I'll occasionally get bored with working out at my conventional gym and take a calisthenics class there to liven things up. The instructor had us jogging around the workout room and was yelling energetically and giving high fives. I impulsively turned a running cartwheel, and she completely flipped out with excitement like it was a magic trick! Later I was torn between feeling like a show off and exhilarated.

oh, creed.

What a rush. That’s all I had to do all year.

I think you can!

I know what you mean! I have no longer a problem with doing advanced invert poses on the pole. But handstands and cartwheels still scare me.

Recently, I've started practicing handstands in a door frame and I feel super safe! I'm less scared there. Give it a try, I can only recommend it.

However, this is only a method to become familiar with handstands. Once you feel confident, you can switch to other methods.

It’s a surprisingly common fear among pole dancers so you’re not alone!

I don’t recommend starting with handstands instead start with elbow stands.

Not only will you build strength, practicing elbow stands it will build up your confidence.

Start with something like a forearm prep here’s a FREE tutorial. https://www.studioveena.com/tutorial/elbow-stand-prep-870/

Tell your instructor about your fear and they will give you a good, strong spot.

ETA: or you might need to tell them about your fear then ask for a good, strong spot. Or they may offer. But there should be verbalization about a good, strong spot, otherwise the instructor might have you work on something else or just practice entrances.

Do you practice with a crash pad? You should until you gain more confidence

Following since this is the biggest barrier for my inverts 

INSANE!! I love this sub, you guys are all so inspiring! I never thought to do this while cruising, I've only ever seen people do it while park skating but this is so cool!

Oh and PS your rocking that outfit!! I've been trying to find cargo pants like those and the red is amazing!

Ok that’s impressive!

🔥🔥🔥 so cool 🤘 keep it up!

Fabulous

I see the skatepark in your future. You have the right amount of daring 🤗😁

She didn’t say she can do one, she just said she knows how.

She had it actually. Hands just slipped 😅

Or you didn't anticipate the effect of dry hands on a slippery floor.

This is totally what happened. And it's very funny.

And your elbows have dimples

Was more of an Eeeyuuuuut

Looks like she body slammed the god damned house

It took me longer than I'd like to admit to realize why this was in this sub lol
