Penny Roll
How it’s done
The flyer hangs straight and, at the front of the swing, hooks their knees on the bar. At the back, they grab the cables and wait. At the front again, they straighten their legs and pull with their arms to push to sitting on the bar. At the back, they straighten their body, lean back, straighten their arms for final position. 3/4 of the way up from bottom on the front end of the swing, the flyer lets go of the cables with their hands and puts their arms over head for catch position. The momentum carries them around the bar in a backflip around the bar.
