Aerial handspring if >5’8”

Amber Richard is 5'10" and is capable. I also have a friend who is close to 6' tall and she can do this too. This is not an easy move for ANYONE but yes being taller and thus having more weight is going to make it harder.

I was actually thinking of Amber Richard because I knew she's tall but didn't know if she did this move. This is giving us more hope!

Small clarification that Amber does her handsprings and split bracket work in a standard split grip and doesn’t really work with twisted grip due to the stress on her shoulders. If you look in my profile pic it’s Amber and I, you can see we have a very similar frame and body size and I also have experienced nothing but pain and discomfort working with twisted grip. I have good strength and great shoulder flexibility yet even working twisted grip descending from an invert feels extremely uncomfortable for me.
Twisted grip is one of those things that is NOT for all of us and that’s okay. Obviously Amber does just fine without TG dead lifts.
