AssetID: sb10066862m-001 / {Thomas Barwick} / Gymnast (9-10) flipping on balance beam, side view An acrobatic flip is a sequence of body movements in which a person leaps into the air and then rotates one or more times while airborne. Acrobatic flips are performed in acro dance , free running , gymnastics , tricking , and various other activities. This is in contrast to freestyle BMX , in which a person revolves in the air about a bicycle. Acrobatic flips can be started from a stationary, standing position and they are also commonly executed immediately following another rotational move, such as a roundoff , so as to take advantage of the angular momentum developed in the preceding move. In nearly all cases, hands never touch the floor during execution of a flip and performers strive to land in a standing position.
