I did it! Thanks man, it took me a couple of days to understand the hand and chest raising but afterwards it was a snap. Great tutorial, and again THANK YOU!~
The problem with these tutorials is that they don't explain how it is learned. Its primarily just tips to improve an aerial if you already can do it. For example: how long should it take to learn? What are effective and safe practice techniques? What are common mistakes?
My first backflip I did off a bar about waist height into sand at a playground, The elevation helped me tremendously, then i worked my way down to the flat ground.
Well the aerial is a very fun trick, was the first one I've learned. A good way for the aerial is the b-kick, that's how I learned that one... train that but get your upper body down to the floor and from time to time get your legs more go up. Once you have a feeling for that it's easy to throw your legs completely over your body. But that's just how I learned the Aerial, dunno if it is helping those who wanna learn that move.
i do a half twist off with a little hop my right leg into the launch off my left (got the idea from b-twist/kicks) and it gives me a little more momentum. i use it to practice form until i can get the height w/o twisting first
im a gymnast, and that isn't how it is taught. all you have to do is do a running cartwheel, but when you normally would put your hands down, you pull your arms up (just bend your elbow) with a lot of force to pull yourself up. and it can be an aerial if your head is 1cm, or 1ft off the ground.
I had the same problem AND U KNOW WHAT, it was because I kept looking on the ground when doing this move!!! Like straight when doing this move, its crucial, it helped me so much, I get height and I land this move now. It was only because of where I was looking at. Give it a try, it might be same mistake I did! If you look to the ground, you automatically go for the ground, your head gives your trick the direction
Noone's gonna beak their neck, if you do then you've learned it wrong. Just start out with a simple cartweel. Then make them faster and faster and put less presure on your hands. Then you can start working on the "upward" motion likes he demostrated in the video. But you can still put down your hand if you feel your not gonna make it. Just play around with cartweels, thats my tips.... (sorry for bad english)
No I am pretty sure that you are right. There is different ways to do the aerial. Some like to throw both arms back, going into the move fairly straight at first. This could be considered the more gymnast way. Some like to fling one arm over the top and the other arm is ripped upwards with the elbow only (but also upwards to the back). Looks a bit more "streetstyle" one might say.
in my opinion a backflip is the easiest trick! it's just the fear that seems to be a problem for some guys...but with mats you can get over the fear! ;) yesterday i learned a backflip ;)
@SonicFlyer14 Okay one thing this video DID NOT mention was looking at the ground!!!!! They forgot how important that step is to learning this move. I don't know how to explain it, but when you do a one-handed cartwheel your head will turn to where your opposite foot will land. If your turn your head the same way when doing an aerial, you should get the basic movement down. The rest is whipping your legs up and around you.
I'm comfortable with my right leg forward, so I launch with my left leg. I think I've nailed everything except for the fear of lifting my right leg after the left leg and float through the air : / The momentum from that back leg is what makes it.
Are you actually jumping once you land from the skip thing? You actually have to do a sort of skip-jump, then once you land, jump and swing your hips over...sorry if I wasn't thorough on the first one. :)
Interesting, I've always been told to throw your arms through it full circle and not forward when you go into it. Maybe that's just the Gymnast form though.
What kind of place can I start practicing? I mean, if I try and do it on flat hard ground and fail then fall, it really hurts. So do I actually need any cushion?
I'm trying this, and I can ALMOST get it. But I'm doing something wrong. When I do it, I get the flip fine, but I'm not getting high enough to allow enough time for my legs to swing over and land. I don't think I'm twisting, doing more of a front flip. What else might I be doing wrong?
which part of the body must be strong to this movement? i want to try to do it, but im afraid if anything gone wrong, so i need to know which part of my muscle needs to be strong before i try it.....
@SexxyKevin Yes, sure. You can broke your knee if u do this without warming up or/and if u do it on hard floor, besides if you're truly hardcore and do this on your head - it could be hurt too but i've never seen that happened.
when you want to practice aerial.... you should have someone that can help you over with a long object (maybe a bamboo rod with a pool noodle on it) to help you over. when you do practice aerials though, dont let that person do all the work, try to do as much as you can with your own power
3 days is a very short time. I took 3 months to perfect it. I can't really give any tips, because I've forgotten what it felt like when I was learning it. But I'm just saying that 3 days is not enough for you to learn and land it.
question? i can do 20 aerials on the spot like no running but when i run i like don't on my feet proberly and my right thighs hurts a bit when i do land it
haha lucky :P me and my friends have been looking for a gymnastics center near us, preferably one with an open gym night but no :[ so we gotta practice on grass haha
Hey guys, what are some of the common mistakes when attempting an aerial? I'm not sure if I'm not getting enough lift, not getting enough torque, or both. The best I've been able to do so far is with putting my opposing hand down (torque side not lift side). Any help?
im not afraid anymore and i have done it properly except the landing but the most of the time i put my hands down and now i cant do it plz any advice or tip would be helpful
hi 3runTube! i understand how the movement is, but a do wrong run before the aerial and I stop before i do it... can you give my some tips? sorry for my english
@Angelbikost i think you did a Btwist or something like that a cork or something alike is not posible when swingin the leg tot he back . and i thinks its unlikey that if you cant do an aerial you can doe a double cork
cool one question how many times can the average human land on their head before they decide to give up on that skill im still just getting used to a normal cart wheel so thatl be something new for me to try in the future =)
1:07 sounds like he broke his leg

These guys are taking the tutorial world by storm...
1:07 OMG!!! that sound scared me :O
aaaaaa i can so almost do it,i just put my hands on the floor at the last second
You should first be able to do the cartwheel then the one hand cartwheel then the elbow cartwheel thumbs up so everyone can see.
you are great guys!!!! Your tutorial are so useuful for my kid. Thanks a lot!!!
and God bless you.
i really appreciate these tutorials!
i watched all the 3run tutorials and in 2-3 months i did them all
My first backflip I did off a bar about waist height into sand at a playground, The elevation helped me tremendously, then i worked my way down to the flat ground.
THis video made it click. I wasn't bringing up my chest after kicking my leg up.
Thanks!

damn. you got clean Aerials!
i do a half twist off with a little hop my right leg into the launch off my left (got the idea from b-twist/kicks) and it gives me a little more momentum. i use it to practice form until i can get the height w/o twisting first
thank u british ppl for making things simpler and faster
lol, he is talking about arms going up, but his left arm goes down and the right one slings - awesome
I took me months to learn this. Thanks for this vid bro.
@ArmourExe im pretty sure a side aerrial is you are completely sideways not facing forward
they make it look so easy

This give me a freaking awesome idea ! !

damn they make it look sooo easy its insane
This video really helped me. Thank you 3runtube!!

Strong legs and decent abs on the side.
This is the only parkour trick I can do. It actually easy once you master a standard a perfect cartwheel.
thanks for makeing this it made it easyer to do aerial for me and yea i parkour!!!!
Gymnastics is for the Strong and Talented.
Running is just running, and then faster.
Gymnastics>Running
thank you. will work out on that.
I really like this guy's aerials :D
And nice tutorial :)
@Diamonkesh you could start with dive cartwheels and one handed dive cartwheels
worked for me
Ah. That's a good idea. I guess I can use my old small-VHS(not sure what those tapes are called) camera for!
in my opinion a backflip is the easiest trick! it's just the fear that seems to be a problem for some guys...but with mats you can get over the fear! ;) yesterday i learned a backflip ;)

can you do a frontwalk over with no hands??
that would be awesome if you do a tut on that cause i really want to learn it!
I'm comfortable with my right leg forward, so I launch with my left leg. I think I've nailed everything except for the fear of lifting my right leg after the left leg and float through the air : / The momentum from that back leg is what makes it.
Are you actually jumping once you land from the skip thing? You actually have to do a sort of skip-jump, then once you land, jump and swing your hips over...sorry if I wasn't thorough on the first one. :)
u know wat wuld be awsome is when u're playing like a paint ball game, do an aerial and shoot at the same time
Awesome, I should try this with my dad...(PS im 9 years old gym champ)
@shawnpaultodd
you have to push yourself away from the ground with your leftl leg, and your right like you need to trow up
i like very much your aerial
Interesting, I've always been told to throw your arms through it full circle and not forward when you go into it. Maybe that's just the Gymnast form though.
nailed it!!!
yeah keep practise best advice
i did it on my first go and carried on doing it but now i have lost it! still trying!
What kind of place can I start practicing? I mean, if I try and do it on flat hard ground and fail then fall, it really hurts. So do I actually need any cushion?
I'm trying this, and I can ALMOST get it. But I'm doing something wrong. When I do it, I get the flip fine, but I'm not getting high enough to allow enough time for my legs to swing over and land. I don't think I'm twisting, doing more of a front flip. What else might I be doing wrong?
so im not the only one
NICE!
we just got to commit to it and most likely we'll land it
which part of the body must be strong to this movement? i want to try to do it, but im afraid if anything gone wrong, so i need to know which part of my muscle needs to be strong before i try it.....
soo when u said that you have to keep your legs straight, so that means that your legs cannot be relaxed??
@SexxyKevin Yes, sure. You can broke your knee if u do this without warming up or/and if u do it on hard floor, besides if you're truly hardcore and do this on your head - it could be hurt too but i've never seen that happened.
when you want to practice aerial.... you should have someone that can help you over with a long object (maybe a bamboo rod with a pool noodle on it) to help you over. when you do practice aerials though, dont let that person do all the work, try to do as much as you can with your own power
he wouldn't cut the video before the demonstration if he could do it perfectly every time
Good Job dude
@KangMu i agree i was one of them my first 6 or 7 tries
Are there any special exercises that need to be done in order to accomplish this?
3 days is a very short time. I took 3 months to perfect it. I can't really give any tips, because I've forgotten what it felt like when I was learning it. But I'm just saying that 3 days is not enough for you to learn and land it.

haha lucky :P
me and my friends have been looking for a gymnastics center near us, preferably one with an open gym night
but no :[ so we gotta practice on grass haha
I think I should learn to do a cartwheel before this...
Hey guys, what are some of the common mistakes when attempting an aerial? I'm not sure if I'm not getting enough lift, not getting enough torque, or both. The best I've been able to do so far is with putting my opposing hand down (torque side not lift side). Any help?
Thanks! It helped =)
Lol...I remember doing this when I was little...just like Liu Kang!!!!
i learned this by jumping on a cement that has a hight of one step of stair and just do it until i got perfect :D
im not afraid anymore and i have done it properly except the landing
but the most of the time i put my hands down
and now i cant do it
plz any advice or tip would be helpful
@flyingvish you didnt understand
with the double cork
i didnt even do an aerial
the only strange is the aerial setup
I can aerial now, but when I went back to a one-hander I couldn't do it. How does that even happen?
so do you kick back first, jump first, or both at the same time?
hi 3runTube! i understand how the movement is, but a do wrong run before the aerial and I stop before i do it... can you give my some tips? sorry for my english
nice one
@Angelbikost i think you did a Btwist or something like that
a cork or something alike is not posible when swingin the leg tot he back .
and i thinks its unlikey that if you cant do an aerial you can doe a double cork
So uhm, question . what happens if you go too low and hit your head on the ground? =3 I want to do an aerial but im scared to hit my head.
cool one question how many times can the average human land on their head before they decide to give up on that skill im still just getting used to a normal cart wheel so thatl be something new for me to try in the future =)
back flips are easier than front flips because you can see the ground earlier...its just that back flips take a LOT more courage than front flips lol
thanks for the tutorial on somthing ill never attempt
you can learn it in 3 days if you have the right training equipment and train on mats cause it dont seem as scary
lol
im still intimidated...bcuz i dont wana break anything but yea..also whats a good surface to practice on?
@LatestUFOSightings how long did it take you? i've been trying but just can't get it haha. but does look ace :)
Damn. wow.
i used to hold my hands together once i got off the ground like "praying" hands or whatever and that kept me from putting my hands down
good jop.... thank you very much
worry about perfecting later, and are your longs strong?
press 9 8 and 2 really fast.. looks like the evolution of man XD
oh i have to do mine with a turn
Its , Easy , I will try . :)
the motions are very similiar to the webster .
I can do an aerial but im scared ima hit the ground so my instincts make me always touch the floor any help?
do it of a bench or picknick table.... training 2 days and i can do him now!!!!
whats the difference between the aerial and the side aerial????!
well what hand do you right with, an eat with, so pretty much, which hand is your dominate hand?
whats the best way to practise these? as in an area and if you have no crash mats
Are you suppose to step off your strong leg?
you should start with the easy stuff and work your way up...start with like front flips
@KralleCR i think it was his foot on the ground
THNX I CAn do them now wil make response vid
i can't do a cartwheel but who cares! Lets go Aerial
@KsTaNisFUNNY it's not hard!! only You need To practice!! with Faith !! =D Trust me! i saw the video yesterday and now i can Do!! =D i love 3run!! xD!
