WAG Which skill is more likely to obtain deductions?

[helllllooooooooo]

A side aerial or a front tuck??

It’s going to depend on the gymnast. Both skills could be heavily deducted if done poorly.

To me the front tuck seems likely to be easier to do cleanly, since there's no bent knee deductions, but it really will vary depending on the athlete.

(Personally, I don't like aerials in general, more for developmental reasons than for scoring ones. They are, for the most part, a developmental dead end. They can perhaps be used on beam at higher levels, but that's about it. A front tuck, on the other hand, is an essential step towards a ton of other skills)
