At the big gyms there is no bribing L5 kids to throw their best tumbling skills. It is either do it of the person that was made an alternate for that team will throw it and fight you for your spot. This holds true all season long. No one is not replaceable.Wow... so a whip to double is welcome to level 3-4. That must depend on the gym. I've heard about kids on big name gym level 5 teams who have to be bribed to throw their 2 to full... ;) (Absolutely no offense to that kid, she seems great.)
I would do that before anything else. Make sure a fit before you commit.
**What if 'gun control' meant flyers had to keep their arms tight so they don't elbow the bases?**
There is such a huge difference in having something and being able to land it full out consistently to get the points your team needs.
And even then, if you ARE in that 90% hit rate and you just so happen to fall into that 10% fail at the biggest comp of your season, how do you handle it? Are you fighting tooth and nail to save it? Are you giving up halfway through the routine?This reminded me of a point.
The point flyer .... Whip double is great! Can you do it and hit it 100 percent AND do the rest of the mega world gym routine? Can point flyer hit her tumbling and 5 jumps to back after she's done an 11 eight count highlight elite stunt? Can you, whip double, land your pass after you've stunt point flyer in an 11 eight count elite section?

Alright thanks for clarifying (I typed qualifying lol). I'm just a newbie but I thought a whip to double was a pretty mean skill. Glad I wasn't wrong. :)
all of this advice has been so helpful thank you all! ideally, the perfect gym(for me) would be one with at least one worlds team, but not so massive that I don't get the one on one coach to athlete attention that I'd like. honestly, I'm not trying to go win worlds, that's not realistic for me. Just being able to go to worlds or to compete in the arena at NCA would already be like a dream come true for me. but I would also be happy with a successful senior 4 or restricted 5, im just not being pushed at all at my gym. even though I do privates as much as I can. for example I was supposed to do one tonight, but my coach cancelled on me. I must also add, that I consider myself to be extremely self determined. my coaches would all agree that I'm one of the hardest workers they've ever seen.
thank you! just need to work out all the kinks of getting to and from the gym lolThen decide on a gym and start working toward your goals!! I definitely believe in you!!!

Yup, mean skill to have and be able to throw but I know kids that can throw that skill and they are still not last pass or even have s solo tumbling pass with it.It is a very mean skill! Just have to be able to do all parts of the routine plus landing the whip double. Lol.
