Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

you can do an ariel on both sides but choose the side that you do the best round-off/kartwheel with!.first, run with a lot of power!. do a hurdle and then push as hard as you can off your leg!. push upwards!.scoop your arms in to your chest!.bring your legs around as fast as you can!. it takes a lot of practice, and i suggest using a crash mat until you get the hang of it!. even then use regular mats until you are 100% sure you can do it every time!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

practice your round
offs first so they're really
sharp and springy!.

try it with one hand!.
when you've got that good,
run at a good pace and really
strong!. swoop your arms in a
circle and then bring them close
to your chest!. um, do the aerial!?

you probably won't understand
this but here's what you do basically:

- run, run, run, run
- keep running but step "front back"
- hop & run
- arm circle, still running
- aerial
- land
