Is a front Ariel harder to learn then a side Ariel?

Answer 1

Yes definitley! Just think of it like this, i front aerial is practically a forwards walkover with no hands and a side aerial is a cartwheel with no hands. A cartwheel is much easier than a walkover and is one of the first moves you learn in gymnastics training, so therefore i definitley say that a side aerial is alot easier that a front aerial.
