Learning the small things can make a big difference. Even if you already know how to arrive at the basic sitting on the hammock, working on clear steps can drastically improve your expressions, preparing your audience for the next breathtaking tricks

Just like basic sitting, focusing on the transitions prior to arriving to a standing position can easily level up your aesthetic. Watch this video Aerial Hammock Basic II for more.

Straddle is the most basic and common trick. Focus on clean transitions in and out, and keep the toes pointed and legs straight to show your beautiful lines

Practicing back flip helped my body to understand the feeling of flipping with the hammock. It’s a great trick to prepare you for the next level.
