Kip (between the bars)

A value skill

• The most common error on kips is attempting the kip motion too early in the swing cycle. The pike should occur after the back swing has begun, and the kip should occur after the swing passes vertical.
• A kip on P-bars turns over more than a kip on a single rail. The gymnast should compress to basket position. This will enable the kip to generate sufficient swing to lead to other skills.
• Work repetitive drop kips to develop a stronger kip.
