Sign in to mark this one off. Every trick you land is kept, and only you can see it.
Watch it
The lowdown
Turn sideways over your hands in the order foot, hand, hand, foot, foot, with your legs passing straight over the top and landing in a line.
It is named after the spokes of a cart wheel, and cartwheels go back to the ancient Greeks and Romans.
Tips
Start with both arms up by your ears and one leg lifted. Put your second hand down straight after the first and bring your first foot down close to your hand.
Why it isn't working4 common mistakes
Long gap between the first and second hand. Keep both arms by your ears so the second hand follows at once.
Legs swinging round the side. Kick straight up over the top, as if between two tall mats.
First foot landing far from your hand. Split your legs wide and place the foot close to your hand.
Second foot landing behind the first. Place it slightly in front so you finish facing sideways.

Where it sits
Why it's Silver: It is the first trick that turns you over your hands in a line. Hand timing, a straight kick and the landing all have to come together.
