How we got on the subject I can’t tell you at this point. I was at a birthday party and one of my friends told me they couldn’t do a somersault. Really!?! Maybe I was naïve but I thought EVERYONE could do this basic move.
But the truth is not everyone can. I’m sure you have no problem with this skill but the reason I am teaching it here in this video is to set up the idea of using and actually working on your tumbling skills. Everyone should be able to do the somersault. Not everyone necessarily has to do handsprings or front flips.

But if you want to it begs the question; how to you move up to the more difficult skills?
The easiest method is by taking the basics and adding twists to them. This will build your control and make you a better tumbler.
This is just the tip of the iceberg. But it should give you something to play with and start sparking your own creativity.
More on this subject later but if you haven’t already, be sure to take this really small survey. Only three questions total. Won’t take much time but it’ll really help me out. Take the Survey here. Thanks!
Good Luck and Good Tumbling,
Logan Christopher
