well I'm in level 2 and i cant't do a straddle split hand stand. So you should probably be in 2 or 3.
It is called a roundoff.
Nothing- but a roundoff is a cartwheel that lands on two feet

It's like a cartwheel, but you land facing the way you came from, with both feet together.
There are many,many moves in gymnastics,more advanced ones and easier basic ones. there are also categories each fall in.
I've always heard it called a roundoff.

a pib-it turn is a roundoff but doing it forwards. level one gymnastics.
Start off with a cartwheel but when your legs are in mid air put them together and come down with your feet together and end with a little jump.
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.
10 *update* The record for the most handstand pushups without support is now 32. It's on YouTube.
The roundoff, a gymnastics move, does not have a single inventor, as it evolved over time through the practices of various gymnasts and coaches. Its origins can be traced back to early tumbling and acrobatic routines. The move became popular in the 20th century, particularly with the rise of competitive gymnastics. Today, it is a fundamental skill taught in gymnastics and cheerleading.
