What you should be able to do
Warm up
These body parts need to get ready
-
Hips (work on flexibility so straddle your legs)
-
Legs (jumping exercises to build explosive power).
-
Spine (side bends).
-
Energy (aerial is a move with high intensity), make sure you are sweating and ready to go before you start.
Mistakes
The 3 most common mistakes are:
​
- Doing a butterfly kick not an aerial (wrong angle)
- Cutting short the landing leg
- Wrong direction of energy (always needing the hands for support)
​
To manage the transition from the cartwheel to the aerial it's important to understand to use one leg to push and one to pull. You want to stay on the same spot and jump up, not forward.
Progressions
The key to unlock moves:
small steps
