Answer 1

When your most stretched out and feel yourself pulling away from the bars. Like right below being parallel to the bars.

Its kinda hard to explain.. but watch :53 and you can see what i am saying. :)

Answer 2

First, congratulations on your giants! I was so excited to get mine:)

1. You should work on cast flyaways to find out where you should let go. Just remember to watch your toes so you don't pull in and hit your feet on the bar(hehe)

2. After you get comfortable with that I would just go to any sort of high bar and do however many giants, but pike right before the flyaway to slow it down so it's not as scary.

Just keep pikeing less and less and eventually you won't have to at all.

Good luck in your level 7 meets!
