WAG New Xcel Dismount Tap Swing 1/2 1/2

[procmadz]

Does anyone have a video of what this would look like? DD is doing well and is working for platinum but doesn’t have a bar dismount yet (maybe a flyaway, but it’ll take time). She competed tap swing half turn last year for gold and it sounds like something she would find easy. Any advice on the skill or any videos would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Interesting...

You would just do a swing 1/2 turn and push off the bar to another 1/2 and land on the ground. The twisting would have to go all in the same direction. That is how I am reading that.

That actually seems doable with minimal practice to be honest, but obviously cant say until I've actually tried...

I know we have upper level girls do it all the time when they miss a blind change and drop down.

Its the same as the level 4 dismount, we have girl who does it in platinum.

Isn't level 4 just tap swing half? This is tap swing half touch bar half more twist?
So in level 4 you would end up facing the bar, but for this one you would face away from the bar.

What is her routine? What is her B element? She can do an underswing or sole circle dismount from high bar. She can also add a 1/2 twist to that as well. Reverse flyaways work great for kids with mental blocks on flyaways.

It would be kip, cast, clear hip, kip, squat on, tap, dismount (or HB kip, dismount)

So her B is the clear hip so all good. I would do the underswing dismount and keep.working the flyaway. You don't need a flyaway until diamond so she has time. Best of luck to her!

Whoops, I thought that that was a typo. Disregard me please.
