OMG, do you think you could do that for the challenge next year, you have like 10 whole months to get it down.

I have a friend who's trying to get a skill similar to that right now. Instead of doing the kip and putting your toes on the bar, she does a straddle kip and goes all the way through... its almost like a straddle penny drop, I've seen it done and it looks pretty cool! Sorry if I didn't explain that really well...

The first one looks to be some kind of straddle sole-circle catch. The second description sounds like a "drop catch" to me.

Wow... I feel so old. Way back when that was a popular bar change... like when beating the bar was still the norm, early 80's. That's when I started gymnastics. The skill to get was a brause, going from low bar to high bar, straddle cast and push away, reach between your legs as you are salto-ing forward to catch the high bar. If you couldn't get your brause, you did a straddle roll drop to kip on low bar for your release. I had my brause.

I guess what's old is new again.

LOL I didn't think of that Bog!!!! I don't know if I am that brave!!! But it does give me some ideas to work on!!!!

I'd love to know it's name or any as I've been seeing L7's do these occasionally from low to high bar. A bit freaky to watch sometimes.

This may be a stupid question, but if it's from the low bar to the high bar, wouldn't it just be a sole circle?

 

[gymgramma]

I think it's called a sole circle

Yeah, that is what we would call it from low to high.

 

[gymkat]

Yes, I know what a sole circle is. I was confused as to how it looks "freaky" because it's a pretty standard skill and was wondering if I had misinterpreted something in BlairBob's description.

I think what I was thinking of was a straddled backward sole circle to jump catch to high bar. With some 7's they don't finish the sole circle enough and it almost looks like a cut before the crowd is waiting for them to pancake.

It's a bit hard to think of since I wasn't on the floor when I saw it and it isn't so fresh in memory.
