okay so im an allstar cheerleader and i just started in novemeber. ive never cheered before, but i love it now!! i go to privates every week for tumbling because as of right now, im not a tumbler. i cant even do a cart wheel!!! so im pretty pathetic. could you please tell me some techniques on not bending my back leg during a cartwheel. i will say my cartwheels have gotten much better from when i first started, but now my only problem is that i ALWAYS bend my back leg! i dont know how to stop and it is sooo frusterating. my coach is telling me to squeeze my body and point toes and kick fast but its just not working for me. please please pleaseee help me with some techniques!!! thanks :)

How do I make my leg straight in cart wheels?

 

Ive been in tumbling for about 5 months I can do my back handspring in the pit with a mat and my coach spotting me. But my cartwheels stink! Really badly, I try my best but my legs wont go straight! And my round offs arnt any better.

Where having a test and we have to do these basic things.
Forward role = can do
Backward role = can do
Cartwheels = no
Round off = no
Back hand spring = sure
Hand stand = yes

For the ones I answered no to may you please give me some advise please? Thanks!
