How it’s done
Sit on top of the bar with your hips between the ropes and your legs hanging down in front of the bar, holding a rope in each hand at about head height. Keep your weight centered on the bar and sit up tall. This is a common starting position for other tricks such as Angel Drop and Dragonfly.
Before you begin
No prerequisites listed yet.
Safety notes
Keep hold of the ropes until you're used to balancing on the bar, since it can tip or swing if your weight shifts. Start with the bar low over a mat.
