Parents free hip circle

[lovegymnastics22]

Is the free hip circle a skill on it's own (like a kip) or is it a progression to another skill? Just curious.

 

[GymRays]

Skill on its own.

 

[raenndrops]

It is it's own skill, but it helps to have a great back hip circle to do it.

 

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Everything is a progression to another skill, even if it's also a skill of its own

I get that! I just was watching it trained at practice and had never seen it before done with really huge casts, was wondering if there was another skill it led to or if the movement was similar to something I would have seen NCAA girls do.

Yes, clear hip handstand.

yes, NCAA gymnasts do many of these. Done correctly to a perfect handstand is a tough skill requiring a lot of upper body and shoulder and core strength. My dd did a free hip HS right into her double back dismount. Connected like that got her the bonus she needed (plus everything else) to get a 10.0 SV in level 10.
