Almost sure to crack acrobatic feat (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

somersault

'acrobatic feat' is the definition.
(somersault is a kind of acrobatic feat)

'almost sure to crack' is the wordplay.
'to crack' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'cracking' mean this).
'almost'+'sure'='almostsure'
'almostsure' anagrammed gives 'SOMERSAULT'.

(Other definitions for somersault that I've seen before include "Feat of acrobatics" , "Turn head over heels" , "Move acrobatically" , "policy switch" , "Acrobatic movement" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
