Could you do a back tuck tutorial? It’s been one of my biggest goals to get a standing tuck but I need some guidance to do it and I imagine that a lot of other people do too.

Thanks so much! I’ve had an Ariel for a while but it has been far from perfect and this was really helpful! Love your channel!❤

[@racheljones8935]

I've watched a lot of aerial tutorials and I'm only 3 and a half minutes into this one and I can already tell it's the best one I've ever watched. So detailed and informative! Thank you!

[@yuqislover]

Ive always been told I have the height and ability to do it, I just cant stop putting my hands down. I will be using this over the week and update next monday.

[@sophiaroblox6835]

Sameeee

[@sophiacampanagymnast]

You can do this! Rooting for you! Pull the arms up and race the foot down! Lastly….Believe in yourself!❤️

What's fascinating is that many people like yourself teach to swing the arms back (Russian lift). However, watch your aerial at the very beginning. 0:00 You do not use this technique. You do the opposite. Your arms are up, side and then swing forward, not back. Watch it in slow motion. 6:14 This is your explanation. 0:00 This is the actual aerial. Different techniques.

Thank you so much for this tutorial. My daughter will definitely be trying this for a week to see if she can get her aerial. She has been working very hard and she said this is her dream trick!

@sophialandgymnasitcs Tysm! I’ll try but i can’t not put my hands down, idk what i’m even scared of, maybe its falling? Idk, same thing with my back handspring, I have the technique but i just won’t jump back, i will FOR SURE with a spot but not on my own, like what i’m I even scared of? If I fall it won’t be that painful, but its built in me now, i’ll update probably next week

I’m 35 years old, did gymnastics for a few years as a kid, got back into it a few years ago but I live in a podunk town (I will eventually move but can’t right now) and there is NOTHING for adult gymnastics. I’ve been driving ~2 hours to classes in a city but I don’t have anywhere to practice on a regular basis. I have spent ~$1000 over the years in gymnastics equipment and the best landing mats I have are a 3’x6’ junior practice mat, 4” thick, and some pieces of an old memory foam mattress topper. The two air tracks I have both lose air (I have tried numerous times to find holes using soap, haven’t found any.) I’ve been trying to get my aerial for about 4 years and still putting my hands down. I feel like I’m SO CLOSE to a breakthrough and it’s mainly fear that’s stopping me. The only way I can get a “soft landing” set up at home is if the soft mat is taller than the mat I’m jumping off of (e.g. 4 inch foam mat in front of 2 inch panel mat, with or without 3 inch memory foam.) is that okay? Would it be helpful? I’m going to try an open gym and a tumbling class at a new gym in the city as soon as this freaking eclipse is over (I live in central Texas lol) so maybe I can find something there. Why does gym equipment have to be so expensive?!?! Jk, I get it. I’m about to go work on my aerial on a panel mat on top of my secondhand trampoline because that seems to sort of work for me? I’m probably going to regret posting this. Thank you for the video, I haven’t seen much out there about the mental aspect.

[@anovemberstar]

Ahhhh takes me back to learning and getting first back handspring /flic flac. Soooooooo scary to throw yourself back and go for it.. but the JOY of achievement..

[@Timmy582]

Would you have to be able to do splits to do an aerial becouse Im really struggling with the splits 😢

[@livy0708]

[@Dancemomsforlifeee121]
