Aerial Tutorial

[MrPredatorix]

I've recently perfected my side to side aerial , and i could have done it whenever i wanted , but now , after three weeks , i CAN'T DO IT ANYMORE. It is really iritating , because i keep putting my hands on the floor all the time. I don't know what the hell happened. Please answer if you know why is this happening.

[sLasHeRxXx07]

i can do aerials but i end up landing with one hand on the floor...WHY!!!???? :-(

[falthy3]

@sLasHeRxXx07 not enough speed, lose some weight ;)

[berzerkerjoey]

swing hard, thanks so much your awesome, im alot closer now

[thecheergirl98]

ive tried to do an ariel but i chicken out and put my hands down...

[FourParcour]

@thecheergirl98 If you still haven't gotten it, try putting your hands down right before you land instead of right before you take off. Also, another good thing to try is down a hill. That is how I learned it. Doing it off something is easier than doing it on flat ground. Another really good option is finding a curb or a small slope to try it with. It seams like it would be harder to do it up a curb, but it is actually easier. Placing your foot on the curb causes you to naturally block.

why don't u stretch your legs??

you would make it..

+.

[GAMERGUY11111]

here is a tip for you, in order to improve yourself, after you dip, pull ur chest upward, you will get much more height

[akiontube1]

Do you need full stretched legs

I mean I can not stretch my legs Full as I can not reach the floor after stretching

Plz help and reply !!!!!

[MAKCNM]

That´s not Areal!

That´s Buttyerfly Kick!

[johannsison0]

side 2 side aerial is nothing more but a more vertical and/or higher b-kick dummy..

[piron4oo]

ur aerials suck , try not to flex your legs like that it will realy look awesom

[DarrienSilva]

I'm sorry but the only different aerials are front, back and side. There are no "gymnastics aerials". Thats called a standing aerial, not "side-to-side".

[LeecH999]

sucks

[Bellnor]

i like this turtorial cause it shows people like me that are scared of failing that it will be fine and you will learn it cause you showed us what it would be like if we failed, thank you

[gymnasticsissocool]

very good totorial!

[pamathyk]

your gymnastics aerial was more like a sideflip

because gymnastics aerials need to land the opposite direction (kinda like the cartwheel) , but i find the sideflip harder , so good for you :)

[ShakelFilms]

More specifically aerials are just a cartwheel without hands...

[evan3sa]

thanks alot i know to do the 2 handed the one handed but i cant do the switched one handed but i will keep tryin and hope ill do al least the side 2 side

[ArnoutDeVos]

never tried that side to side one..

learned the running one by myself, so now i'll try that one too :-)

thx 4 posting this

[BboyOshikuru]

nice

[EricCW]

is this significantly more difficult with sneakers on?

[MrsJibJab]

actually, you can do one gymnastics ariel after the other :P you can either connect them with a chasse, or you can just do a bunch of standing ariels in a row with a slight pause..

[juliettheemoprincess]

well the airplane is kool

[DanJStudios2009]

not bad but u kinda repeat urself like 20 times:L

[Th3Wr3s7l3r]

ok they're good but try to straighten your legs because it looks cooler and try to jump harder(ur head is a little too low to the ground)

[juliettheemoprincess]

theres an airplain in the background!!!

[DanJStudios2009]

its just an aeroplane its also the wind

[olympiagymnastics23]

omg u look lk ur gonna smack ur face on the ground

[deconne2999]

come nearest the cam i can t hear u!!

[whiplash674]

ive got the movements i just tuck mid air its annoying me

[speckmaster18]

yeah im having same problem i get like alway around but when i see the ground i put my hands down for some reason....think its my fear of slamming my head into the ground.. can anyone help me get over this gay fear? :)

[allaklk]

me too

[ramak5555]

and me

[omegagenin]

just try and think of your leg hitting the ground before your hand and if that doesnt worktry flinging them up to continue the rotation which isnt that smart but your arms wont touch

[demisewolf111]

Jump Harder.

[yankees1234577]

i get completly vertical and then fall on my face/hands. am i just not swinging hard enough?

[Thom1112]

if you still have this problem i had the same. its your rotation, make sure you kick your back leg real hard aswell as swinging the arms. if you bring your arms to the ground in fear then you will stop rotating, you just need to suck it up and just go for it!

[2304Phoenix]

cool video, thanks :)

[yoelsilver]

this not an aerial this is a lateral -.-'

[Szakal95]

Fuksem mu to wyszło ;p

[kurokasumiwannabe]

you sir are win. ignore the haters. your video got me a side to side aerial. its a shitty one, but that just gives me the joy of perfecting it. Thank you :)

[immortal3run]

omfg i learned it! thx bro

[bananaboy2612]

you sound a little bit like Mark Walberg...cool vid!

[yankees1234577]

walberg = the man

[Bassxninja]

flexiblity is half this move

[AlsteinLe]

i did bad aerial lol because i leaned upwards i will try to straighten it out

[yazaharufaita]

sup shadow i went to the park for like hours today trying to land an aerial, but could not do it...i kept staying in the same place, can u help me???

[shadowh4ck]

originally i made these videos to just help a few friends out who were having massive trouble i don't claim to be a professional or have gymnastics form or be an amazing tricker, im suprised that a year or so later i have 50,000 views and shit, so the hate seems unneccesary...

[Haylebyte6]

good job. i attempt aerials on my trampoline but always fail. I keep my arms straight and hanging down to prevent me from falling. But, whenever i attempt the aerial, it just turns into a roundoff. Do i need to jump more? or is it fear?

[tyleroooo9]

switch one handed is sickkkkk

[TxCardinalFan]

Thx, this will really help

[CeryUs]

i'm having trouble untucking my side to side ariels. i always end up doing them in a ball. any ideas or way i can work on keeping them extended out. you look a bit more flexible than me, can that be a factor?

[b3Nz0STeveNS]

i saw a fat guy doing them so if he can do it then you should be fine just work on extending after 2 and when you tried 2 go for 3

if you cant do 2 try 1 but get it perfect so you are nearly jumping into the air (good height which means you can have longer to untuck on your 2nd)

[sslytheriinn6645]

good tutorial .thnx .............

[friendly406]

Well done ^_^

But...isn't a "side to side" aerial called Side Somi?? That's under the name I learned it in gynastics at least...

But it was great anyway, really helpful :]

[bleedgreen924]

thatfl1pguy can do all types of flips and kick

it's creepy

[bleedgreen924]

this helps alot thanks

[lilcummy]

i could practice on my trampoline...for now

[stupidlilaznkid17]

can u use that as a kick?

[danilovsky22]

AWESOME!FIVE STARS!

[Bartek163]

maybe 2 days for me =]

[jordanw360]

how long does it take to learn to aerial

[Xo1MindyXo]

im learning an ariel on my own and im getting! yay me

[yalisteners]

omg!!cool!!!!but how do you do it??and when you fall,does it hurt a lot??

[Xo1MindyXo]

well.......................whe­n your doing it you dont really fall but your feet will go over so you kinda land on your feet

[yalisteners]

haha!!! do you pop your back leg hard?

[Xo1MindyXo]

yes!

[tokiohotel15342]

I almost have it but fear overwelms me.i only leave my hands on the floor for exacly 1 sec

[Roanlekker]

[Hazgaroth]

great tutorial! I've always wanted to learn theese kind of things, and i'm a skateboarder so i can take falling and the possible pain, but i'm still afraid to fall on my head :) anyway as i said, great tutorial!

[Angkaili94]

Hey thanks for the tutorial, I managed to do an aerial yesterday morning!(19/1/08) Thanks!

[skewd1]

lol 2:48 almost crashed onto ur neck

[hishyama]

very helpful and descriptive. You did a great job on explaining the move broken down into easy-to-understand parts. Thanks a lot, and keep up the good work!

[valky144]

all you guys bad-mouthing him, shut the fuck up, hes good and it helped me a lot, shut the fuck up about whether hes good or not, you are looking at this video to learn off someone that can do them, stop criticizing him, you cant even do them yet, if you can why the fuck watch this video, douchebags

[Shadiooooooooooooo]

God dude, you suck sooo much. I hope you die, you piece of shit.

[shadowh4ck]

sup shawn

[AnyaMercedes]

i found it really helpful.

[Izzy11215]

Three letters, 1 word... GAY.

[joshy1111111]

LMAO

[dykomin]

Seven letters, 1 word... DIPSHIT.

[Izzy11215]

Oh please you all suck I was just kidding... At least Joshy thought it was funny. :P

[shadowh4ck]

You also happen to be a douchebag whos martial form is subpar as well as your tricking skills. come back when you stop failing and learn to front tuck on concrete

[Izzy11215]

Alright tough guy. Nice Aerial(s) by the way.

[joshy1111111]

I seriously cannot believe you have put a tutorial on youtube with your aerials at this low level! at least replace the video because they should be a lot better if youve been training since march...

Dont allow other to take this as an example..

Josh

[drunkenmuzz]

hell yea man i agree....Nick u shouldnt be putting together tutorials until u can actually do the moves well urself

[JacobShallcross]

Yeah i agree too "side-side aerial" WTF why dont you die you obviously dont know what your talking about watch juji's tutorial

FOOL!

[shadowh4ck]

that or an inverted butterfly kick, yes, I don't think you know what you're talking about, I don't think you even trick.

[JacobShallcross]

lol offcourse i trick, im not arhueing on youtube anymore your right! can we leave it

[joshy1111111]

erm, wtf jacob definately tricks because i train at the same place as him...and yeah no problem for the comment, just saying it how it is. Look out for my aerial sampler and you'll know what i mean.

have your aerials improved much??

Josh

[shadowh4ck]

that's chill, i'm just confused as to why you feel the need to be a dick on youtube, post some videos of you tricking before you act so superioristic online

[joshy1111111]

check my vids then....i dont trick hard i just enjoy doing more simple moves but getting them clean before i do any more advanced moves.

i was asking about your aerials in general btw, i just wandered..

Josh

[brandonstylee311]

the running aerial is easy i taught myself, im scared to a side to side. its just a matter of trusting yourself

[Smailien]

Do I need a certain level of vertical jump ability to do this safely

[fallofshadows]

I don't think so. I don't know a lot about aerials, but all you need to do is shift your center of gravity up a bit.

[CityMonkeyz]

i did not learnt anything !!!!

[dfkjimmy]

great tutorial man

[xuanzi93]

you aerial is gay 1. your legs are bent 2.your head is not high enough

lg wushustyler from vienna

jiayou

[penguinlover5000]

I can do that!

[drunkenlilTIFFY1990]

damn teach me in person!!! lol i need it

[cheetahpaw29]

hay thx fo putting this up!! X]

i already knew how to do an aerial. i did it like 4 times awhile a ago....but wen mi cheer competition was around tha cornerr i was a bit rustyy. i needed to get mi aerial [which gave our team a whole lota points]

so wen i saw this video; tha tips helped a lot

=^.^= thnx to u i did it on mi cheer competition....and we got 1st placee!! X]

i also did mi bow and arrow

thank youu!

[Kazuma7389]

You idiot.

[LOREEANNABANANA]

heyy thats pretty cool but like the thing with your running aerial is like you dont seem to be pushing up off the ground hard enough. try jumping up instead of out and im sure you'll have a reall good one. p.s straighten your legs a lil lol hah but that was really cool

[doomboot3]

HI NATHANIEL ITS IAN!

Good video i really only looked at it cuz my friend mentioned u in a cinversation i cant do a cartwheel to save my life.

I can do backflips though 0_o

[JacobShallcross]

nope your wrong there is not two types of aerials at all sorry im not a hater but there isnt

[Kronopt]

I'm still training, but i will do it in a matter of months, if not earlier ^^

[leroyscapeowner]

I can do it on trampoline but not land it propely

[capoeiristanazrim]

i got my aerial a few months ago but i lost it. now i cant do it anymore. i'm trying to find a good tutorial to get it back.

[TheShaoLinDisciple91]

if you could do it before u probably can do it again if u can pinpoint why u cant do it. for example if its your jump height do jump exercises, if its your speed do exercises for that and so on. make sure u dont jump forward that a very common problem.

[rockleetricker]

nice dude i learned my aerial 3 months ago from this tutorial=D

[filipinokid789]

ok for the normal gymnastic aerial...jus make ur aerials smaller. smaller wheel. quicker to get over. basically work on ur cartwheel, putting ur hands closer together and then making ur feet land closer to ur feet. it took me so long to get an aerial. i watched this video when i couldnt do an aerial. good vid tho..=D

[abfab20]

WOW, thanks for the tutorial.

[BrishenAlston]

I'm probably not going to be able to do that anytime soon...but that is really cool!!!

[mis2cute4most12]

heey u well good but just one fing x ur legs are bent wen you do a cartwheel it will look beta if u straghten dem a bit more x

[breadbassed]

Yes! Finally managed the side to side, thanks for the tutorial dude!

[xoxoHuggiesxoxo]

Oh Myy .. Someoness A Littlee Rustyy . Im A Gymnast . Keeo Your Legs Straight And Tuck Your Hands

[alonzoalden11]

Oh man..

I really wanted to know waht a side to side ariel was..

And i don't know becuase of goddamn wind.

[breadbassed]

Thanks for that, i think this is the only tutorial ive seen that shows the side to side, which is what ive been wanting to learn. Hopefully ill get it one day

[Inochanfan]

dude. you're good n' all.. but for the gymnastics one, straighten your legs, and point your toes D:

[EetuV]

good tutorial, but my problem is that i do aerial more like a side flip, anyone know how to fix this problem? if you know pls reply to my message

[TheShaoLinDisciple91]

whip your back leg up as hard as u can. ur probably trying to jump of your backleg, the back leg is only supposed to do about 10% of the jump the rest is up to your front leg

[MathieuCockhuyt]

i'm not scared but whit me i don't land him and its like i do sideflip i just go not straight in the air

[Gummimensch19]

i need a aerial double full tutorial ;)but this is good

[bubbleteexp]

for some odd reason, i cud do gymnastic aerials but i can't do side to side aerials. do u have any other tips about the side to side aerials?

[kungfudoggie]

thanks for the info. actually it's a really good tutorial and it's easy to see that you are a good teacher.

[NJgymkid]

but they are so ugly

[punkass90]

good tutorial.. but the thing is thats im really scared that im going to hit my head on the ground... so did u at the beginning had that ear and where is u start to learn in.. like just on grass or did u have a matress of some sort??

[trickster123x]

ok

i can od it n im 11 wat u can do at the start is a mini kinda like half circle and then do it

because u get more speed

[bboyfrisbee]

dude, when u do it, it looks so easy, but i still cant get around.

[pkray07]

it helped me!...thanks man :D

[Rkooner]

do i need good flexibility in my legs to do this? coz fucken flexibility i lack and it pisses me off.. i can do a normal cartwheel.... so perhaps with practice i could do this?

[shadowh4ck]

No you don't - but it helps. I have pretty horrible flexibility too.

[urbanstuntster]

the running aerial is a barani dumbass

[shadowh4ck]

Unfortunately you are the dumbass. A berani, which you spelled wrong, is a running aerial where your feet land together - basically you do a round off with no hands. A running aerial is a standard aerial. Maybe you should know your shit before calling people names. Congrats!

[turkishflip64]

side to side aerials are called cheat aerials...

[shadowh4ck]

Or tricking aerials. My experience in nomenclature wasn't too good back when I made this tutorial... it was spur of the moment - forgive me

[marc1654]

training to be a street ninja and your tutorial helps out bud,thanks.

[KyuubiMucCc]

Nice tutorial m8! Gonna try out

[sevenstarfist777]

thanx

[LovePinkAndOrange11]

your legs are bent and the preparation is dreadful

i dont really think that u should be trying to teach people, just my opinion

but ur accent is really cute...

[rhysie21]

FUCKING WINDY!!!

[lalli90]

ah never mind i just woke up hehe

[lalli90]

hey can aerial be done jumping with both legs or one because i do it almost allways with both legs like side ways....but i think its a side flip or something

[shadowmuniplitive]

Side Flip and aerial are completely different.

[nutzi66]

so an aerial is basically a no handed cartwheel right? Well, that's for the vid it helped out a lot.

[tom987654321]

nice!

[xiphoid360]

OMGWTFBBQQQQQ!! UFOO!! at 2:35 XDD

[spikie91]

My side-to-side aerial sucks! How do i get my legs and body vertical? My aerial looks like a real ugly b-kick

[Jakumi]

that was really really helpful.. i didn't realize there was a difference between the two, and it was really well done

[Sytniowski]

How long did it take for you to do a side to side aerial?

[shadowh4ck]

First day I tried it I got it. The video of my first day is uploaded, check my channel.

[Lickostaph]

at 2:35 there is a UFO in the background

[hallal55]

??????????no

[whiteRosE102791]

its an airplane you scifreak

[dramaddict91]

just a tip, when u go over in the gymnast aerial, u practically touch your knee to your chest, use the momentum in the run otherwise u overthrough your jump. Lift your chest up a little higher and kick your leg around harder and youll have it perfect.

[shadowh4ck]

thanks for the tips dude.

[Qtruong101394]

I'm trying to learn an aerial. I need t get more height. THnx for the vid!

[bloodhawk2]

nice tutorial it helped me alot thanks
