Tips on mill circle?

[gymnasticswim4]

When I'm doing my mill circle, I'll do the rotation, and get to the top, but then I swing back down. Tips on fixing this?

I'm guessing it's because you're letting your body fall back after you get to the bar, therefore not completely finishing the skill. You want to feel as though you're going to do another mill circle, even practice doing multiples (at least they're fun!) and make sure you're shifting your wrists all the way over too

Okay, thank you! that helps!

My coach always tells me the same thing. She says to fix it to be straighten everything and swing your writs around fast and hard. Hope that helps!

This happened when I did my front hip circle!! I would be RIGHT THERE and I would still fall. My coach said to pretend like I wanted to do another one, it worked!! Hehe I hope you get it soon!

I'd say keep your chest up, and shift your wrists.

What RisingGymnast said. Keep your chest up, keep your legs straight, and shift your wrists. By the way, what level are you? I'm L4.
