How do you do an aerial cartwheel?

In: Gymnastics [Edit categories]

Answer:

An aerial cartwheel is an advanced skill that should never be attempted without proper strength, skill, and instruction. Additionally a proper surface such as a gymnastics floor should be used to minimize impact as well as the risk of twisting and ankle as this is a very real concern. To begin an aerial cartwheel the gymnast must first have a perfect running cartwheel with both hands and one hand first.

To execute an aerial cartwheel the front leg will have a deeper lunge out of the hurdle (the chest lowering closer to the knee), a quicker extension of the leg to propel the person upward, and a faster kick in the back leg. An aerial cartwheel is simply a stronger cartwheel that is a bit higher where your hands do not touch the ground. A good way to safely practice an aerial is to try a "really high" one handed cartwheel and continue to get higher until your hand just doesn't need to touch.
