Perching on the Bar
How it’s done
Start sitting on the bar holding both ropes and lean back with your legs extended out in front, pulling on the ropes to hold yourself. Pull on the ropes to bring your torso back up to upright, bending one leg in to place that foot on the bar while the other leg hangs straight down below. End perched upright on the bar, holding the ropes on either side.
