D SKILLS

See drills for hop 1/2 pirouette in C skills above.
Development of this skill is the same up to the hop 1/4 turn. At this point the gymnast needs to catch the 1/4 turn on top of the bar in a mixed grip.
Once the 1/4 to mixed grip is consistant add a 1/2 turn after the catch.
Work towards grabbing the bar with one arm and completing the 3/4 turn. It is critical to have a fully extended shoulder at this point. The gymnast must also be very tight.
