Standing Back-half (not quite arabian) drills

[brennybi]

very nice trick, yes I personally like free running videos and when guys do this sometimes I get confused because it looks like an arabian. Thank you for clearing up the confusion

[jmjulie321]

HES SOO CUTE!!!! <3 AWW

[gymnastics441]

Wow u r really good u should go for a full!!

[xpinkjuicyx]

Hi, i'm from france, and i just arrived at London 3 day ago.

Where is your training room please?

I'm a gymnast too and want to do gym here.

Salut! Nous sommes a Talacre Gymnastics Club. Faites un cherche pour ca sur google - c'est facile a trouver. Il y a les classe pour les adultes 4 fois par semaine. Il se trouve dans le quartier de Camden.

[adotindie]

yea they are harder because in arabians you dont really see .....but the half is like a backwards aerial so your looking at the ground until the last second

[UrbanLegendZcreW]

Try Full you will make it... :D

[kittycatsrule86]

I learned that on my own they are really fun

[flipingymnastkristy]

same! lol

[AddisonReece]

I like doing these!! Easier but much scarier than a standing arabian!!! Try not even wrapping with your arms and just turning your head and hips after your set, your arms should be involved but they really don't have to be if you have a strong back tuck!

[fr3ckles]

people, he knows it's not an arabian

[cityboyz1uk]

Thank you - geez. These people don't read, do they?

[fr3ckles]

seriously! It must drive you nuts!

[cityboyz1uk]

LOL - I can live with that; I'm just grateful you actually considered things from my point of view for a change - how refreshing :)

[mayan212]

i actually find these much harder than arabians!

[hinginator]

Clearly not an arabian. The back came before the half turn.

[ShortAss16]

read the video name , he is aware its not an arabian, idiot.

[klantarN]

thats a halftwist not a arabian!

[liljoe3106]

although its good...its a good job you gotta good whip coz theres no hieght invloved there lol...but good job man. keep it up!

[superpigbomb87]

not an arabian. that was a back with a half

[orinoco910]

that's what it says it is :)

[Shadow1Runner]

Backflip 180

[Gummimensch19]

looks more like a standing backhalftwist,but nice anyway

[viictorino]

como rasca! no¿?¿

[Peati92]

^^ it isn't a arabien. you must jump up and than turn around and do the frontflip but your move is cool c(-:

[alexabagel87]

u know wats scary his name is alex liang and mine is alexa lange

[thewordup]

when you do an arabian, you have to jump and turn then do a front tuck. try jumping up, do a half-turn diveroll on floor, then try, on tramp, to jump, halfturn, frontuck.

[nikirififo]

õ.O

I guess it's a Half Twist Tucked

[grantflip]

thats more of a standing front half,

arabians happen really early in the flip,

it more resembles a front then back tuck

[bboyagua]

the first one was ugly and u knew it haha!  u still need to jump more and whip less, but its great progression. cmon ur not old.

[eggmanslim]

thats a half turn arabian is basically roundoff front tuck but you twisthalf way in the air and do a front tuck thats half turn

[gymnastgurl12345]

thats a tuck half not an Arabian... in an arabian you turn before you do the front flip...

[ddub1992]

Thats not an arabian....thats a standing half

[gymnasticsforever17]

thats a balf half...not an arabian

[Smurfjr2000]

thats a half, not an arabian... ur closer to a standing full than u r too an arabian... no doubt u can get a standing arabian tho... ur powerful in ur set... props

[cityboyz1uk]

Yeah I know what you mean, I twist kinda late for an arabian. I'm still working on a full. It's one of those tricks I'd love to be able to do!

[Smurfjr2000]

werd... all u gota do for ur arabian is keep a straight back in ur set for the half turn... then after the turn at the peak of ur jump, shoot ur arms forward and front tuck... u have the high for the standing full... the only transition is gettin ur knees up in the set right after ur toes come off the floor, then at the peak of ur jump pull hard... ; )

[Shenoir06]

It looks pretty good. You should ask your coach about how to control your twist because it seems like a lot of brute force used.

[cityboyz1uk]

Erm ... what do you mean by brute force? BTW, I've managed to do it with 3/4 twist last night, hopefully I'll be able to turn it into a standing full soon, and I'll film it and post it here :)

[Shenoir06]

Like, if you were to do it off a diving board or higher off the ground, you would over rotate. Arabian is a halftwist and a front flip in the air. Take a look at mine. Your still doing awesome though, I look forward to the arabian full.

[FlippingXGymnast]

pretty good. I have to do this in my beam routine.

[cityboyz1uk]

Now you're putting me to shame. I'm working on a standing full now.
