I was wondering what the value of a toe shoot/hecht is.As I am trying to go for level 8 next year and aren't so great at casthandstands is it possible to do a toe shoot instead of a pirouette?? I fell as if this will be better for me. Please help. Any other advice is appreicated!

Toe shoot/hecht is a C level skill so not allowed at L8. Thing is cast handstands will be required no matter which level you're at so it would probably be best to work hard on them this summer. Once you are at a level where you can do the toe shoot, you still have to kip/cast out of it.
 
I have another question, is a pirouette also a C. Because if a regular cast handstand is a B wouldn't a prouette be a C???Also I thought you were allowed to compete one C in level 8 that counted as a B. Correct me if im wrong here!

The way I understand it there are a few "C" skills that count as Bs at L8--bail, pirouette, straddle back(think there is one other) and thats it. I would say about 90% of L8s do a pirouette to fullfill one of the SRs on bars.
