Aiight so I know some of you people here are into flips.
If you can do some, post some tips while learning them.
I'll give my tips for Aerials here.
If you don't know what an aerial is, it is a cartwheel without using your hands, so if you'd jump up it would be a side flip actually.
First learn cartwheels. (of course u can already)
Try them on one hand.
Try them on your other hand.
Now try this: jump up to the side and when your legs are up in the air (not earlier) put your hands on the ground to complete the cartwheel.
Get the feeling of this and now try to use your hands less and less.
Now try the actual Aerial. Swing your hands down and swing your leg up.
It helped me "hopping" in it.. so u come running.. kinda make a little hop and then do it. This gives you mucht more power or momentum whatever they call it. I landed on my hips tons of times so doing this in sand or on grass helps. The hardest part is not putting your hands down. So just fucking do it.. and they look cool and are great in Parkour runs of shit (although then it'll be sideflips).
