aerial cartwheel sideways on beam

About.com Gymnastics linked to one of their “Cool Skills“.

Click PLAY or watch Rhian Pugh 2005 American Cup Prelims on Beam on YouTube.

Amy Van Deusen called this the “side-side aerial”.

Cute.

Rhian Pugh from the U.K. was Junior European Champion on Bars 2004. She had some interesting skills on that apparatus you can see in this montage.

i saw corey hartung do this several years ago and it absolutely floored me. What an awesome skill.

it is a cool idea…..I don’t think it is a very nice looking skill though….a bit like the side somi….no matter how well it is done, it just does not look “pretty”….I definitely would rather see a routine with a unique skill than a “cookie cutter” routine anyday though
