Side Arabians?

[Ally13]

Does anybody have an information on how to do these? I was watching some old gymnastics videos of Elena Shushunova where she does a side arabian with a 3/4 turn and I was wondering if anybody had any info on how to do these or could break it down for me because I can't figure out how she does it.

Here's a video


Thanks!!

I believe that is what we refer to as a side sumi but layed out.

From what I understand, that's called a side sumi ? Not entirely sure... In All Star I've only seen it done as flips in a pyramid...

Yes that's definitely a side sumi. Really get a good aerial and then once that's comfortable and clean, ask for a spot and think about aerial-ing while in a sumo wrestler like stance (hence the sumi part of the name) that's how I learned at least.. Except for when you're doing the sumi, you're going to be sideways and not squaring your hips like in your aerial.

We call em side semis. They're not very difficult, it's just like an Ariel but in a open kinda tuck position.

A guy on ICE Lightning did one in 2012, the first pass. I wish more cheerleaders did them, they look good.
