Acro help

[sportychick]

hi
there is a group of us at my gym that has started doing acro for fun, for now (no comps or anything in nz =( ) but we are doing a display at the end of the year and we need new and impessive looking skills for this. (so far we have tried skills that we have found on google and youtube) any help, pics or vids would be greatly appreciated
=)

How many are you? And what level are you at?

hi, there are 5 of us. no idea what level exactly as nz don't have/do acro.

I was meaning your general standard . If you have good handstands or can press to handstand, good basic bridge/splits etc, there's a whole load of stuff you can do. If you're complete gymnastics beginners you may need to lower your sights

Google and youtube are your best places for some ideas, try display gymnastics too. Spelbound here in the UK recently won Britains got talent if you want to see a really high standard, or there's general gymnastics teams like Question which travel the display circuit and combine some good choreography ideas with their acro.

Best of all, get in the gym and have fun playing around. Try some cradle pitches and take inspiration from cheerleading too.
