"Cartwheeling fast is a skill that takes a lot of precision and a lot of speed. When I cartwheel fast, what I'm trying to do is stay in front of my boat. I'm going to look into every turn and try and keep my torso pointed in front of my boat the entire time that I'm cartwheeling around. It's important to remember the same principles that we used for regular cartwheels. With a regular cartwheel, the difference is I'm looking upstream more. I'm trying to keep a focal point in regular cartwheels. With a fast cartwheel, it's best in bigger holes and bigger features and I'm not as worried where I'm looking. I'm more worried about where I'm rotating to and trying to keep the ends going quicker than their natural speed of rotation. With my edges, I'm still rolling my boat through each turn. Every time I'm sinking it in, I'm going to change my boat edge to allow it to accelerate back up and keep that air in my kayak pushing the kayak through every cartwheel."
