Believe says,

Never could.

marymc says,

Cartwheel, split and front handspring. Am almost 50.

mzejay says,

Yes, but it's not a pretty as it used to be.

jl333 says,

It's more like a half ass cart wheel if you will

accidentaltourist says,

In theory, I believe so. In practice, it's been a few years. Today, I will attempt it. Stay tuned.

jene2008 says,

I'm so accident prone that I won't try. These hands are my livelihood.

Dragonflower says,

Never could. Had trouble with somersaults, even. Always went crooked. Best I could do, and still can, is touch my toes. I'm 60 and one month.

DynamicDbytheC says,

Let me go outside and try. I will report back. I can still do the splits.

DynamicDbytheC says,

BTW, go Marymc, go!

jl333 says,

We're waiting for AT and DDbytheC's results...

Splits? Not me!
Touch toes? Not even close.
Front hand spring--oh hell no

accidentaltourist says,

Cartwheel: turns out, yes. I was a little hesitant to try, but it was fine.
Splits: close, but no cigar. My dance teacher keeps pushing that one though.
Toe touches: absolutely. I've always been flexible.
Handsprings: fuggedaboudit!
