This weekend was the first weekend I did not have to worry about art so I'll talk about something other than art. I went to Mitsuo's house to play in his pool with Todd and Maxx. Mitsuo did not swim with us and his mom was mad. I don't know why. However, we still played in his pool. While playing in his pool, we did flips and stuff. I noticed that to flip you need torque to pull you through to your feet. When doing a front flip, I had to pull my arms down and tuck forward so that I stuck the landed before gravity pulled me into the water. For backflipping, although I might have not landed it very well if it were on land, I had to pull my arms up but in a circular motion and throw my head back to get the torque. When I tried a half moon, which I could not do, I had to kick really hard up and to the side and throw my head back to get the torque. Torque is force x lever arm by the way. I also was not able to get a picture but I'll try to take a picture of Mits' pool tomorrow.
