Aerial Twist

Type of Trick: Invert / Twist

Prerequisites: Aerial

Abbreviation: AT

Alias: a-twist

Description: The Aerial Twist is the inverted version of the Butterfly Twist.

When the Aerial is initiated, the arms reach forward just like in any Aerial; but once you kick the back leg and launch off the base leg, you bring the arms to the inside of the body. If you kick your right leg backwards on the Aerial, then your right arm should wrap to the left side of your body. If you kick your left leg backwards, then your left arm should wrap towards the right side of your body. When wrapping with the arms, turn your head in the same direction as the wrap, and squeeze your legs together. The trick should be landed one leg at a time.
