Level 5 bars Help .... Again !!!

[PCG123]

For the level 5 bars for the dismount if your a righty do you turn to the left or the right ?? I turn to the left ...

Does it really matter? I mean, I'm a righty and I turn to the left, but you could be a righty and turn to the right too.

But, is there, like, a deduction if you turn the wrong way? I thought you could turn either way.

I remember being told to turn whichever way is more comfortable. The judges can't deduct for which way you turn, because there is no other lefty/righty distinguishable skills in the routine. As that is the only skill, you can do whichever way you feel better doing.

Most rightys tend to turn left, but you could be a righty and turn right and the judges would just assume you were a lefty. (And not deduct)

Try out both directions, a lot of times if you struggle with one direction, the other one is leaps and bounds easier.

whichever 'feels' most natural.
