description Aerial Forward Roll Overview
An aerial forward roll is an acrobatic movement in which the performer rotates forward through the air without placing the hands on the floor or apparatus. The body is commonly held in a tucked or piked position during the rotation, followed by an attempt to land upright on the feet. It requires forward momentum, spatial awareness, body control, and a suitable training surface or supervised practice setting.
help Aerial Forward Roll FAQ
What makes an aerial forward roll different from a regular forward roll?
An aerial forward roll rotates forward without the performer placing the hands on the floor or an apparatus. The body leaves the surface and completes the rotation in the air.
What body positions are used in an aerial forward roll?
The performer commonly uses a tucked or piked shape to control rotation. The movement then opens toward an attempt to land upright.
Does an aerial forward roll require a runway or apparatus?
The defining feature is that the hands do not touch the floor or apparatus during the roll. Training may use a sprung floor, trampoline, or other supervised setup, but the move itself is airborne.
What is the main landing goal in an aerial forward roll?
The performer aims to finish the forward rotation and land upright with control. Safe practice requires suitable surface, progression drills, and qualified supervision because an under-rotated landing can be dangerous.
