Reverse pirouette (discussion based on pirouette initiating with right arm)

A value skill

• On low parallel bars work reverse 1/4 pirouette to hold.
• An aggressive push of the left arm is necessary to initiate this skill.
• Keep on top of the bars. The most common error is to shift too far to the right and pike down.
• It is very important to keep the shoulder angle open and head neutral. Piked shoulders will result in falling off to the right.
• A common error is to pike down over the left bar. It's important to keep the shoulders open and weight over the bars.
• The gymnast needs to push off the right arm aggressively.
