High Bar
A routine on high bar comprises circling skills, release and regrasp
skills and a dismount. The giant circle is a fundamental skill on this
piece of apparatus since it is used to link the circling skills and to
generate the required linear and angular momentum for the complex release
skills.
See also the section about asymmetric bars where similar
skills are employed.
