Now that we've done a basic cartwheel we're going to move on to a little bit more advanced
cartwheel. This is called a dive cartwheel and it's a little bit tougher and a little
bit more challenging and it's the learning cartwheel for an Aerial, which is a no handed
cartwheel. Since we already have our chosen side which is the left, we're going to be
starting the same way with our left foot forward. Now on the dive cartwheel you're going to
be reaching out with both hands as far as you can and try and not to touch the ground
for as long as you can. It's also important to push off as much as you can from your left
leg, because there's where you get most of your momentum to flip all the way over and
put your legs back on the ground. So you're going to push off with your left leg getting
that momentum, reaching out, putting both hands down at the same time.
