A means can be justified only by its end. But the end in its turn needs to be justified.


So here we have an angry little baby in the foreground, and a toddler doing his best Olga Korbut impression in the background. For some reason, Henry seems compelled from some external force to forward roll, forward roll, forward roll! It matters not that there is a baby in front, a box of lego, an innocent father; the only thing that matters is the forward roll.

I sometimes wish that life were that simple for me.

At least hes going in the right direction, forward.

I think it has something to do with being young. I used to do those a lot and all those (I don't what they are called) cartwheeling on floor like the gymnasts do, and continued with them till like the age of 9 or 10. Everywhere I see children doing that. Perhaps something to do with our monkey and ape genes :-).

Henry might be interested in the variations of a somersault as outlined in Wikipedia.
Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing a photo of him attempting a "Flash Kick" - a back somersault with legs split to represent a 'kick') [not a recognized competition move]

Jim, that is a good start.

KL, I was always very bad a cartwheels. It is amazing how little kids do play around exactly like monkeys!

FF, I think that I’ve seen one of them in Fame or Flashdance. Henry does own some leg warmers...
