Difficulty/Age

Uuuum.. Does anyone know if aerial cartwheels requires the stretching of the ligaments from a young age? Like, they harden after puberty and you're meant to stretch them at a young age? Much like young ballerina's and martial artists..? Well.. does it? Zerocannon 00:16, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I started learning this technique when I was about 17 or 18 and I didn't have too many problems learning it. I had a decent stretch when I started learning martial arts at 14, but I couldn't get the full splits till I was probably 15 and even then I had to work to get/keep it. While flexibility will help in learning things like this, they are not the most important thing. Learning proper technique, dedicated practice, and patience will normally take you where you want to go. You'd be surprised how little talent is needed to shine when you've got someone to teach you how to properly do things. Good luck.(Guyinblack25 19:48, 17 January 2007 (UTC))[reply]

no, this doesn't require the streching of ligaments, as it does not involve hyperextension, as people can perform this move with straight legs, no more streching than a gainer flash.--milesaaway (talk) 11:08, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Important Information to know about injury prevention before doing a aerial

I was a gymnast for about 7 years and a cheerleader for 4 years. I also coached gymnastics. I would like to edit this source and clarify the preceding steps of an aerial. People shouldn't just try it after knowing what it is. Injuries are common so it is important to note the steps involved on how to properly perform an aerial and how to reduce the chance of getting hurt. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kdgreen5 (talk • contribs) 22:31, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merger

I propose that Aerial Twist be merged into the "Aerial Twist" description under the "Variations" section of this article. Since an aerial twist is a derivative of an aerial cartwheel in makes sense to combine the two in order reduce redundancy. Any thoughts? (Guyinblack25 22:15, 15 February 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Aerial twist is not an aerial cartwheel by any stretch of the imagination. It doesn't really belong here at all--not even a mention of it. If we don't exercise some selectivity here, this article will become a huge mess of dubious, unreferenced street names similar to those found in back flip.

I transplanted the aerial twist section to its own article, where it rightfully belongs. Lambtron (talk) 18:48, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
