Yes and roundoffs too.  I can't do a whole bunch of other stuff I used to be able to though - like front and back handsprings and back walkovers. *sniff* I miss being flexibe lol. Hoar you and I should start a "we used to be good gymnasts but aren't anymore" gymnastics team hehe. hehe..YES I can do a cartwheel--even better than when I was little too. and I taught myself to do front walkovers and I'm still flexible..I still do bridges and seal stretches (toes to forhead) but....I used to be able to do the splits...wahhh. even on the beam. *sigh* |

I was always about middle height in my class. Vault scared me lol. I never did anything spectacular on it, just did a little jump tuck thing over it. I remember those!!! I don't think i ever did a cartwheel on the beam....i was too little. but beam was my fav. of all! |

Ironically, I could never do backhandsprings on the floor unspotted. I had this mental block... I was scared of smashing the back of my head down and always faltered. I could do it fine on the trampoline and stuff. hm..i seem to have that mental block currently. I can't do back walkovers without my sis spotting me...i'm scared of going backwards down! |

I used to be able to touch my toes to my nose on seal stretches. Wow, you've maintaned your flexibility well Laura. Yeah, no more splits for me either. |

i did gymnastics in third grade...then i quit...i dont know why. i think it was the place i took it at. it sucked. but i wished i had stuck with it. i never did anything. i got to the beginning stuff on the vault and the bars, but that was it. I can do cartwheels still, but not good.

I used to be able to. I took gymnastics in elementary school. But I stopped and I can still sort of do a cartwheel, but not as good. And I'm not as flexible as I used to be or strong. I hate it.

^ I wish I had kept up with all the things in gymnastics.. like the stretches... it was nice being that flexible.. I'm not that bad, but I could be better.
