The click had to happen someday. Now stick, click, stick! :)
I am not finding words to explain why back handsprings don't seem fun. I mean, they seem all right, but also scary and weird and way too dynamic, considering that we could be doing walkovers. Possibly they don't motivate me that much because it seems so much less likely I would ever do them away from the springy floor.
Cartwheeling/twisting... alas, the best I ever felt about them was when I was with you! After that I tried to practice, but they seemed a little too likely to hurt my wrist -- and indeed, I met someone who hurt their wrist like that. How can you do it safely? However, I'm getting quite comfortable rolling out, so at least I can work away from the wall.
I'm with you on the failed attempts at headstand/handstand kickup. I did it again sunday out of obstinacy. Learned accidentally that it is possible to come down with the feet instead of landing back in headstand... that was a more comfortable way to fail. I do feel like I'm close.
