How do I do my side aerial?

[Bevy]

im really close, but I need tips on how to not put my hands down and how to swing my legs faster. I have a dive pop cartwheel.

I'm assuming you mean on the floor. So you need a bigger push off the floor with your front leg and basically putting your hands down is a mental thing. When you land, try not to put your hands down and to get your chest up as quick as possible. If you're still struggling with putting your hands down, try to only put one hand down and pop on and off to it.

Usually when people try to do aerials, they jump off of a strait leg, its mental because your mind thing "be as high as possible" but you really need to plié really deep in your front leg and push so you can go up, then think about just putting your first leg on the ground, just flip it over. That's at least how I got mine, for putting your hands down, it's mental, just try flipping your leg around faster so your first leg touches before your hands can. Hth[emoji4]
