Which of the following is listed as a B Value Part?

• A. All of the above are B Value Parts
• B. Clear hip circle below horizontal
• C. Underswing (toe on or clear) with 1/1 (360˚) turn dismount
• D. Swing down forward in reverse grip between the bars to salto forward in tuck position dismount

Answer: (B)

Value parts on the bars are grouped by difficulty, with B parts representing mid-range elements that are more demanding than the simplest motions but not as advanced as higher-valued skills. The clear hip circle below horizontal fits this level because it’s a fundamental circle around the bar performed with the hips passing below the bar line. It requires solid control and shoulder stability to complete the circle smoothly without peeling off the bar or losing rhythm, yet it does not involve the extra complexity of a grip change, a dismount with a full turn, or a salto.

The other descriptions describe more advanced maneuvers: an underswing finished with a full 360-degree turn into a dismount adds rotational difficulty and a dismount, and a swing down into a reverse-grip position followed by a forward salto dismount combines grip changes, a release, and a salto—these are higher-difficulty elements and would carry greater value than a B. Therefore, the clear hip circle below horizontal is the B value part.
