(Rainbow) shoot through dismount on bars

[amblan01]

Sometimes I just go straight down. Last practice I started getting a pretty good rainbow which was motivating because before then I couldn't do it. I'm 5ft tall and one of the tallest in level 1. I'm 14 also which means I'm old. Any tips?

Are you talking about where you cast put your feet on the bar and swing underneath it and land on the floor?

No that's the sole circle.

I've never heard of a rainbow, can you describe it?

What she is referring to as a rainbow is what is basically a failed back hip circle used as a dismount(the old level 4 dismount). When you reach the point of vertical to the floor you want your feet to follow the same course of movement as the would if you were doing a sole circle dismount and hips to follow suit. It sounds like you're more or less letting go of the bar when you get halfway around (I had this issue for the longest time too!). Lift as you release

Lift up?

It sounds like what we call an underswing dismount, it is used here in steps 2, 3, 5 and 6. The most common problem is hips falling away from the bar.
