What is the difference between a somersault and a cartwheel?
A somersault is, according to Merriam-Webster's 11th Collegiate Dictionary, 'a movement (as in gymnastics) in which a person turns forward or backward in a complete revolution along the ground or in the air bringing their feet over their head.' A cartwheel is a lateral handspring with arms and legs extended. So a somersault is turning along the ground and bringing your feet over your head. A cartwheel is doing a turn with your arms and legs outward. I hope this answers your question.

The round-off is a gymnastic floor skill used to turn horizontal energy into vertical energy. It's technically very similar to the cartwheel, only that now you land on both feet at the same time.

How do you do a roundoff?
To be able to perform a roundoff it is necessary to be able to do a cartwheel. Next practice a cartwheel from a hurdle step, which means to use a small run and a hop into the "lunge" with one leg forward so the added speed makes the cartwheel rotate faster. The next step is to do a "push away" or 'snap down" cartwheel from the hurdle. The idea is to push off the ground with the arms so that the entire body is off the ground momentarily before the first foot touches the ground. Once a student can do this particular type of cartwheel then turning it into a roundoff is only a matter of finishing the cartwheel with the feet together. The hurdle, and snap down add enough extra time to bring the legs together and make the roundoff possible. A pointer on how to place the hands: Try to consistently place the hands on the ground one at a time and more or less in a straight line. If the fingers are pointed in the direction of where the skill began, this way it is possible for the gymnast to push from the hands as well as the arms, which makes a good amount of difference. Good luck.
How do you land a cartwheel facing the right way your supposed t land facing the way you were but I CANT I've been cheering for 5 years I'm in 7th grade and Im the ONLY one who can't?
I was in EXACTLY the same position a few days ago, heres what I did: Practice your cartwheel see what happens exactly when you do it. Stretch wrists, ankles, hamstrings. straddle stretch everything !! At times it sounds pointless but TRUST ME it helps Do mini cartwheel Do a cartwheel but with your legs bent. When I did this, I could land the right way. Practice this several times so your hips get used to turning the way they are supposed to. Cartwheel Each time you do your mini cart make your light straighter each time. Keep practicing, it took me a week before i could do it right.
