LAUREN MUTTY: This next segment is actually going to involve some more advanced tumbling. What we're going to do is we're going to start off with some combinations of different tumbling skills that you can put together. Our first and most basic is going to be a cartwheel into a round-off. One of the biggest tricks with this is do not stop in between each one. It should be a cartwheel round-off, not a cartwheel and a round-off. So, Cara, if you could just show us the standing cartwheel round-off, please? Cartwheel round-off. There we go. Nice. The next one is going to be a standing round-off back handspring. You will notice she is going to do a round-off. And right after that, she's going to right into the back handspring. Nice. And the next thing that we're going to do is actually going to be a running round-off back handspring. This one is going to take up a little bit more floor than just the standing one. Go right ahead. There you go. Thank you very much. And now, we're going to show a whole bunch of different variations of all the different things you can do when you're tumbling: round-off back handspring, round-off back tuck, all sorts of things. So we'll check it out.
