I hear that. BUUUT to say Nightcrawler has more experience being a acrobat doesnt really mean much in this. Almost everyone on the list has more experience as an acrobat than Spiderman. So thats not fair to say. Though it is true.

Captain America has more experience than anyone, but hes not the best. Just thought id mention that.

But I do think that Nightcrawler and Spiderman could go eitherway. Nightcrawler and Beast are able to use the hands and feet equally. Cant say the same for spiderman however.

Agility-

I agree with parts of it and I understand those terms fine 😄 , Agility=dexterity in movement basically, or adroitness in movement regardless spiderman just has the body necessary to take this, his abilites make up for his experience, in some aspects he is no rookie.

Spiderman does things better than some of the most experienced at times, its close between him and Kurt.

I think Spider-man wins first place for agility and Beast comes in second.

Beast and nightcrawler are actually very similar in that aspect.

Agility is nice, but feats like this require, exceptional strength as well. The bicep,tricep, latissimus dorsi(back, upper and outer), and middle and upper trapezius(neck and imbetween shoulders), are used here, spiderman could easily do it, and if you removed that goofy costume, he could probably do an episode with peter beating Kurt at his own game, after all , Kurt was impressed byPeter's agility before.

This isn't a gymnastic contest, it's who has more acrobatic ability. Guess what? Kurt is a trained, bred acrobat. I guess he wins, huh ?

I get that, buuuuuuuuuuuut gymnastics is similar to acrobatics, and the example was used for the sake of dexterity. I think Kurt would look more flashy, but spiderman would be able to accomplish greater feats, your call.

Kurt is more flexible, what are you smoking? He's got the tail, the enhanced limbs, and years as a circus acrobate.

Kurt's spine is more flexible than humanly possible, whilst every ligament/tendon in Spidey's body has been simultaneously stretched and strengthened so that he is twice as flexible as humanly possible throughout his entire body.

This isn't gymnastics...

Your own cited definition says this discussion includes gymnastics.

Nightcrawler's only advantage is his 'extra limb' (the tail), unless you want to go ahead and count his teleportation. Kurt might have more acrobatic 'know-how', but Spidey's got the sheer ability.

If there's teleport there's webbing too.

Basically its down to the same, spidey's "lack of experience" but better abilites, versus the more experienced. Though he doesn't have any formal training, spiderman is no fool in agility and obstacles nor moving gracefully. Regardless the first thing u think of with spiderman is dodging and gracefullness.
