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.

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!
