Scissor 1/2

A value skill

• The gymnast should have a solid scissor that is fully supported throughout.
• As the swing reaches it's peak the right hand reaches over as the left hand blocks off causing a small hop.
• The left hand should reach back for the pommel to continue the swing.
• A natural tendency is to let the skill drop at the end, be ready for the support and continue the swing. Always do a scissor or false scissor immediately after the scissor half when working this skill.
