video – Morgan Hamm – fantastics air flairs

High speed internet connection required.

I’ve been studying how acrobats learn the air flare over the past few years. It’s the ultimate Floor Exercise not yet competed by an Artistic gymnast at an international competition.

On MakingTheOlympics.com Morgan posted the first video tutorial I’ve seen of a competitive gymnast integrating air flare into a routine. Well worth checking out if you have an athlete working towards this skill.

Morgan does it somewhat differently than I’ve seen before. His looks more like pommel horse and less like a handstand pirouette.

Unfortunately Morgan did not compete the air flare in his routine at USA Championships.

See the video on MakingTheOlympics.com.

Thanks TKO.
