I recently had a meet where a girl got 3rd all around with an 18.85. Her age group had 3 people, while the next group had 15+ gymnasts in it.

Thanks for the replies. I remember hearing that a straddle cut had to be competed on high bar to be a release but I'm not sure if that's true or not?

I am looking to compete Xcel diamond which requires a release move or pirouette on bars. I think the release move is my best bet. What is considered the easiest or most basic release move? Thanks!

Our gym has long sleeve leos for optionals and tank for compulsory. We are trying to get long sleeve for the higher levels of Xcel to no avail.

Thank you that helps a lot!

I am trying to move up from Xcel platinum (kind of like level 5-7) to Xcel diamond (level 7 -9). I'm concerned because my routines right now have all the requirements, but don't necessarily have any big flashy skills. Is this a bad thing? Will judges score lower?

Love that show! She was great

Thanks everyone! If 90° is vertivcal my casthandstand is about at 80°. It is just frustrating me that I can't start giants yet

Is it necessary to have a consistent completely vertical kip cast handstand before starting giants?

Gymsanity- the kids dont have clearhip to handstand yet just because of their lack of wrist shifting:p thank you for the 'motorcycle' drill sounds great! Rockyrose- the kids dont have particularly small hands so I dont know what it could be Sent from my GT-P3113 using ChalkBucket mobile app

Does anyone have any drills that help explain wrist shifting for bars? These specific kids have the right idea/form to do skills like clearhip to handstand and monkey circles/monkey gaints, but their wrists are always caught at the bottom, because they forget to shift. Any drills, tips, or...
