It really is a lot like doing a somersault; with the exception you have to expend energy pushing away from the wall and learn to control your breathing.
I'm sure you'll have it down to a fine art in no time.  |
I'm sure I'll get it. Honestly the breathing is not an issue. I take a good gulp of air before getting to it..I just can;t seem to manage to have my head pointed in the opposite direction afterwards. I came up in the next lane once.:p "Uh hello, just wanted to visit your side a while"
