Women Platinum dismounts

[Monkeymama]

Hi, I know the flyaway is the most common platinum bar dismount, but what other dismounts are ok at this level? Thank you!

Underswing and sole circle are the other two that I use.

My daughter used a flyaway with a half (I think that's what she called it).

Thank you! Is there a minimum difficulty dismount at this level? Or is it any off high bar. My daughter is suddenly stuck on her flyaway. I will suggest these.

I can't find anything that says that there needs to be a minimum difficulty for the dismount. The only info that I found in the special requirements is that the dismount must be from the high bar.

 

[Coach Kate]

Yes, you can also do sole circle, or tap swing 1/2 turn (like DP level 4)

I had a Platinum warming up at State with the 1/2 turn and was told by a judge that it didn’t count. I taught her a sole circle fast. No one caught it all season. At the coaches’ meeting the rest of the weekend, they warned everybody.

Good to know! We just had one compete it at an intrasquad and the judge didn't say anything or take a deduction! Beginning of the season problems for sure.
