WTH? My son can't get up without using a knee or something from criss-cross, apple sauce. This clearly demonstrates that the next generation is totally fucked up.

I hate you. I briefly took karate with my husband but quit when they started making us do somersaults. Now I have to master them. I HATE when someone tells me I might not be able to do something because of age...makes me that much more determined to do it. Off to try rolling around on the floor like a roly-poly...
The somersault isn't hard in and of itself but throwing yourself from a standing position in to a somersault was a little more difficult. Still, now you've gone and thrown the gauntlet down...asshole. If I break my stupid neck...you are going to feel SO bad! I hope!

I'm not sure how much core balance or even leg strength has to do with this. I control 1500 lbs. of horse with my legs and I feel like I have great balance but this exercise is beyond my capabilities.
