I’m having a real problem that I’ve sort of been avoiding, but it’s really catching up to me. I’m in Xcel Gold and have been for three years. I know 3 years of a level is really uncommon (and I’m pretty embarrassed about it), but I could’ve been platinum a long time ago if it wasn’t for the fact that I somehow still don’t have a kip. I just don’t get it because the skills I have on other events don’t match up with my bars (if that makes sense). At camp, when we were split up by skill level, everyone else in my group could do their kip easily. It feels like one day I just came to practice and realized all of my friends had theirs and I didn’t. But it just seems like no matter what I do, I can’t get it. My coaches, honestly, seem to have given up on me. I guess I’m just asking for advice or if anyone has had a similar experience. I really need to get this solved because pullovers are already not super common in gold, and it’s impossible to get around a kip in platinum.
