Is it possible to do a bars routine without a clear hip> I don't currently have access to a CoP, so the main question is if giants are in Groups 3/6/7?
For example:
Kip
Cast Hand, 1/2
Kip, cast, toe hect
Kip
Giant, girant, double back/layout

Or would a clear hip/ something else be needed for that requirement/ a 10 SV.
 
EDIT: See my post #4 below... this post is incorrect... sorry.

Yes... you can do a routine without a clear hip.

No... giants are group #4.

However... assuming the toe up will count as your one restricted "C" and drop to a "B"... then you should be good. You would have to talk to your coach or a judge to confirm.

Thank you! At some point I just need to bite it and buy a code.

Sorry... I wasn't thinking correctly last night... good thing I posted the pics. You still need a 360º 3/6/7. It doesn't need to go to handstand though... you can just do a "B" level clear hip.

EDIT: My Level 8 is rusty... we basically always do one of the same 2 routines at our club. The toe up allows you to take out the pirouette... not the 3/6/7. Again though... the clear hip does not have to go to handstand.
