Why don't you pour yourself a nice cup of coffee, pull up a chair and sit a little while.

Oh Jeffrey! You are in luck! You know I've taught gymnastics forver! And, since the crazy lady at Gymnastics Unlimited in Dover fired me for knowing about her psycho ex con boyfriend (now husband), I've been jonesin to teach. Let me know what I can do to help! TLC
TLC...
A challenge has been issued to me to do a cartwheel. I accepted the challenge but didn't mention I knew a gymnastics instructor ....
I was hoping you'd see the word gymnastics in the title and watch this. I need help.
I'll give you private lessons for free! I'll even teach you to stand on your head! It's easy! When should we start!?!? TLC
Just a few things to keep in mind while training:
1. Make sure you have the proper space – and wear a helmet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2KF3sQqFOQ
2. The finish is important – as you could hurt your arm: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4tKzVg-_vk
3. Clothes – er ... some sort of protection for you, and possibly your audience's eyes as well – may be a good idea: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2yqMDu0ejM
Good luck!
Thanks for your concern, Koko...
