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!

[nicoleescobar]

this is gonna help me so much (I’m currently watching this at 10:37 pm) I’m going to be practicing this tomorrow! this is such a good video!!!

This is the best aerial tutorial on YouTube. The leg racing is a good tip. No one else I've seen talks about the arm swing or the mental part of all difficult tricks. I'm going to be watching this over and over plus a lot more of your videos. This made me know I can get it, the front handspring, front flip and wall backflip. Getting them all tomorrow. Thank you so much! You're an awesome coach! Definitely subscribed!!

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.

Whoa!! Thank you so much!! This was so much more visually helpful than a lot of tutorials I’ve seen. And the mentalness!! 🙏 🙏

[luzsosa]

omg, this video helped so much! I had already had my aerial but it just needed that one thing to perfect it! Thanks to you my aerial has never been better! It is clean and I am landing so much better! Thank you so much!

[Just.Caseyxx]

When i tell you i finally got over my aerial mental block 45 minutes after watching this video and im so happy

[MilaniaMichalko]

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!❤

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!

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.

[XxIts_SavxX]

Tysm!! I’ll prolly never get it even with amazing tutorials, but thats just how I am ;) but tysm for taking your time to make this to help people get their aerials ( p.s you make it look so easy to do, HOWW)

[corystajduhar]

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.

[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. <33

[ugnyvumat]

Omg I’m gonna practice every day I hope I getit

[Juliarohrbaugh]

So I’m definitely not the best at tumbling and don’t have much knowledge about good techniques! This video really helped me, thank you! I do have a question! At the beginning you said how you need to push off with a lounge, but which leg do you push off of??

[nancygarcia]

Hey thanks so much this video really helped a lot!

[angeliquesellers]

Perfect! I'll do it, side aerial! 🧘🏽‍♀️🤸🏽‍♀️🥰🌹💯

[mpneuot]

Can you do a detourial
of a standing flick?

[Gymnasticsn]

Hi, I still have not got my Ariel and it is not your fault at all! It’s completely my fault ok 👌 so I’m making a video request can you please do a tutorial on just the mental side of Ariel’s bc when I think I can do it my arms just go to the ground and idk why I can’t help it I have tried loads of things the no arms, the t-shirt arms and much more😅

[AnnikaHuber-qgoq]

Thanks helped me so much especially the phycology problems are better 😅❤
