Xcel Gold help

[Gymnastics15]

if you're a coach or a gymnast in Xcel gold you probably know about the new rule where you can't do two back hip circles on the same bar. So, I have to compete a double back hip circle but for some reason I get so dizzy I can't connect my squat on. Help my meet season is coming up!!

Is there another circling skill you can do? Front hip circle, long hang pullover?

yes, but they're not the best.

Can you do a back hip circle on the low bar and another one on the high bar?

Can you do a back hip circle on the low bar and another one on the high bar?

See, my coaches could be wrong, but I was told that we couldn’t do two separate back hip circles. It was either two different circling skills, or a double back hip circle. Even if the OP could do a back hip circle on each bar, unless they have a Kip or an uprise there is no good way for them to get front support on the high bar.

When they removed the # of skills from the Special Requirements, they replaced it with a second circling skill.
A skill done on each bar is considered a different skill.
At our gym, we have girls that actually jump to front support on the high bar (the bars are closer together than they are for those who have a high bar kip or long hang pullover or just never get "up" on the bar).

Another circling skill you are allowed to compete is a toe circle. Have you heard of or tried it? It's a bit trickier but it's another skill that could work for you. Hope this helps!

I used to have difficulty with this move, it made me dizzy and couldn't do it. However, after a while I did it. You can start by rolling your toes or circling your hips in front, it may help you get used to it.
