Aerial Hook
Aerial Hook
An Aerial with a hook kick at the end. You can also view this as an inverted Butterfly Hook
Note: This trick is a variation of the tricker aerial. It does not work with the gymnast aerial much.
01 Butterfly Hook
Very easy. It's a butterfly kick with a hook kick at the end. Or a very exaggerated tsunami kick. It feels very similar to the Aerial Hook.
02 Aerial
You don't need even need a very good aerial for this trick. Just be able to land and make sure it's the tricker aerial.
03 facing the front
Do a Butterfly Hook where you don't spot over your shoulder but underneath you (inverted). This change alone almost turns it into an Aerial Hook.
04 Aerial Hook
All that is left is to actually perform an aerial. Drop your body lower and spot your target immediately. Swing your backleg up high and fast and kick as your backleg is coming around.
Tips
As you leave the ground, focus on your target and pull your kicking leg through. You should be starting the kick very early if you want a hook kick. Kicking late will result in a crescent or even an axe kick.
If you can do the
Butterfly Hook and
Aerial, this trick is basically free.
