This may be done with either running or standing start. Strike hands on ground in front of feet, letting the left strike a little before the right, as in the cart-wheel. Place them about ten inches apart, at the same time swing the body over and around, so as to land in a sitting position directly opposite the one in starting.
8. The Handspring.
Possibly the most common acrobatic feat. May be done from running or standing start; strike hands hard on the ground, turn head under and in, throw feet over head and as they begin to come down give a hard spring or push up with the hands, curling feet down and back under body and coming to standing position, facing the same way as when starting.
9. The One-hand Handspring.
Same as No. 8, except that but one hand is used. The weight of the body should be brought well over the hand used.
No. 10. The Headspring.
10. The Headspring.
Instructions same as for No. 8, only the spring is made from the head instead of the hands. (See illustration.)
