    This week I accomplished...

    I think it is a move done generally after a pac, where a gymnast swings out and extends before doing a half turn THEN a kip, so they are facing the right way for a high bar transition move. Here is a video of a girl doing it albeit quite badly! YouTube - glide, switch, kip chinese situp
