Question

How can I do an aerial?

Community Answer

Have a solid cartwheel, the try to cartwheel and at the last minute pull your hands up. You can also try to keep your arms up in the beginning and then put them together.

Question

Can I do these even if I'm not flexible?

Community Answer

Yes. The most flexibility you may need is in a front walkover or front handspring stepout, where back and leg flexibility may help out. But it's not a requirement.

Question

What is a front walkover?

Community Answer

It's like a front limber (handstand fall into a bride), but after the front limber you stand up on one foot.

Question

How can I learn to do a back full?

Community Answer

Watch Ronnie Street Stunts, and Jessie La Flair Parkour, on YouTube -- they both have tutorials for the back full. But you should really learn Parkour and Freerunning. I have been doing Parkour and Freerunning for over a year now and I am a pro Parkour athlete and Freerunner.

Question

Does it count if I roll to one side at the end?

Alonah N. Elliott

Community Answer

Technically, yes, it is still a front roll. Keep practicing and you will get it perfectly straight though!

Question

What if I can't push myself down out of my handstand into the front walkover?

SmartTweenGirl

Community Answer

You don't push yourself, you bend your legs. Make sure you can do a front limber before you try this.

Question

I can do my back handspring while being spotted, but cheer tryouts are in a week. How do I get over my fear of going back?

Tom De Backer

Top Answerer

Cheering squads want responsible people. What they do requires diligence, hard work, self respect, training hard and above all, safety. If you're going to rush into the back handspring, risking injury for lack of experience, you're not impressing anyone. Quite the contrary; you'll show recklessness, and they don't want that. Put emphasis on your dedication, on your training, and show confidence that you know you will get this move and many others. That will show you can be a valuable addition to the team.

Question

How do I come up from a backbend?

Lynzie Powell

Community Answer

The best way is to slowly lower your back onto the ground. Try to not do it too fast. Then you just come up from your sitting position.
