    Coaches Can the bridge kick over in level 2 be reversed?

    Without looking at the rules I know certain skills in the level 2 routines can be reversed I believe that is one of them. Honestly many times I think the judges doesn't focus of which leg they use. I would suggest at least working on the other leg as it can cause small problems later on.

    Parents Looking for recommendations on grips

    They start out a bit more stiff and need a bit more time to break in, but they should last longer. As far as use after being broke in they seem similar to ginnasta
