[edit] 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)
- 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))
[edit] 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))
