    Parents Front hip circle help...again

    My daughter is really struggling with her front hip circle. I know it's all about timing. She has done bar clinics, private lessons, and regular practice working on them. She seems so close, but ,keeps dropping her hips away from the bar. We tied her to the bar today (like a strap bar, right...

    Front Hip Circle, Bent Legs

    So I recently got my front hip circle, but my legs and arms are bent. I try to tell myself to keep my legs straight throughout the skill but for some reason they always bend or I just flop off the bar and don't make it all the way around. Does anyone have any tips or drills?? Thanks!

    Parents Finally Front Hip Circle!!!

    So excited I just had to share with people who would understand... DD (age 6, level 3) finally got that elusive FHC! I had heard horror stories about the mill circle but DD managed to that skill in about 3 weeks. The stories I heard about the FHC didn't seem nearly as bad so I figured she'd pick...

    Got my back hip circle!

    Got it on the second try! But since I use palm protectors and I don't have a very good grip on the bar I have to tuck my thumb under the bar and if I don't tuck my thumb then I don't have my back hip circle. Its a grip issue. But yeah I got it right in front of our coach! Sent from my DROID...

    WAG Back Hip Circle Help!!!

    I'm training level 4 (new level 3) and I CAN'T get my back hip circle!! I can do it with a spot, but not by myself. Every time i'm doing it by myself, I fall under the bar. My coach keeps telling me that I need to get more momentum from my cast, and that I need to keep my hips to the bar, and I...

    Coaches Back hip circles...ahh!!

    I am a coach at a club in my town and one skill I consistently have kids get stuck on is back hip circles. There are those occasional kids who get it right away but most of the kids I coach just don't understand them. For me it was one of those things that came so easily I don't even remember...

    Parents Front Hip Circle

    My DD is struggling with her front hip circle. She was on bars last at her team practice on Thurs., and all the other girls came running out because they were done. She wasn't with them, so I looked over there, and she had gotten back up there to try it a few more times. Her bars coach asked...

    Parents DD got ro bhs and front hip circle in same week

    Is there something magic about turning 6? All of a sudden she is learning skill after skill after being pretty stagnant for about 6 months. She's gone from not even being able to do even a bad bhs on trampoline to doing a really good looking ro bhs on the regular floor in a month. The progress...

    Back Hip Circle Problems

    So, for the summer, our gym combines the pre-team for 9 and under with the pre-team for 9 and up. This is an awful idea because the younger class is WAY less advanced. Most of them can't even do a backbend... But the one thing that all of those little girls have is a back hipcircle. I...

    front hip circles

    My dd can't seem to get her front hip circle. Her anxiety is so bad over this skill that it's causing her to have issues getting to practice (she has an anxiety disorder). I keep telling her to relax as I'm sure she'll figure it out but I'm guessing she's the only one that doesn't have it and...
