Shoot to support

Other names for this skill: birdie up, felge upward to support

A value skill

• Work backwards rolls on low rings with and without a spot. A false grip is very helpful to do this. While harder than a shoot to support it teaches where and how the gymnast needs to push.
• The turn needs to turn over very quickly on the bottom. Immediately after the bottom the rings should be pushed back and down.
• The gymnast needs to focus on keeping the rings in front of them throughout this skill. If the rings get behind the gymnast the skill will not be completed, and there is a risk of injury.
