Women Shoot off 1 1/2 twist on High Bar

[Xcel.diamond.26]

Hi everybody! So I am competing Xcel Diamond this year, but I don’t have a high bar dismount. Flyaways are terrifying to me and I would really rather not do one. So my coach found a straddle shoot off 1 1/2 twist as another “B” dismount. But I am having a hard time landing on my feet even out of a 1/1 twist. Any suggestions? Or if you have any videos of an athlete doing this skill so I can watch them and see what I should be doing please send them to “[email protected]”. Neither me or my coach has ever seen this with a twist so we really don’t know how to improve it. Thank you!

Why did you post this question twice, once pretending to be the athlete and once pretending to be the coach? Which is it?

Why does it matter? I’m just trying to find answers from a wide variety of people.

It's just a little strange as all.

I figured there would be coaching advice on the coaching thread and advice from athletes on the athlete thread. Both of which would be helpful right now. Do you have any advice?

There are plenty of coaches and plenty of athletes here, and most of them browse multiple parts of the forum.

We have also had a history on this forum of people getting caught faking their identity here, and a lot of them turn out to be creeps.

So I'll ask again, and you will either answer directly or catch a ban:

Are you the coach or the athlete?

My apologies, I didn’t realize it was such a big deal. I am new to this website and was not aware that people browsed both. I am the athlete in this scenario.
But honestly this is coming off as very rude on your part, why does it matter if I am the coach or the athlete? I am just asking for advice on a unique skill and did not want to get talked down to as an athlete from coaches but also wanted advice from other athletes without them feeling the pressure of talking to a coach.
