Women Xcel 'Circling Skill'

[GymSurvivor]

What counts as a circling skill for xcel gold bars?
Would a long hang pull over count?
If not would this routine fulfill the requirements,
Kip cast squat-on kip cast back hip circle under swing, swing, long hang pull over under swing half turn dismount?

Or would it be better to do kip cast back hip circle, cast squat-on and then highbar?

I think a back hip circle counts.

My dd does a back hip circle in her routine

I thought you had to go to the high bar in excel gold? Sorry, don't know the answer...

Yes.

Kip cast squat-on kip cast back hip circle under swing, swing, long hang pull over under swing half turn dismount?

Yes.

Or would it be better to do kip cast back hip circle, cast squat-on and then highbar?

No. If your goal is to score well, the best thing is to do as few skills as possible.
The best scoring gold routines I saw this weekend tended to be something like:
Kip (or pullover), Cast, Squat-on, Kip, Cast, back hip circle, Underswing dismount
7 skills (only 6 are required).
One cast needs to be to horizontal.
You have a circling skill and a dismount on the highbar.

The long hang pullover counts as a circling skill only if it starts from a cast.
