Airplane

  • Equal Footlocks (first half of video) or Eggbeaters (second half of video)
  • Crossback Straddle-Invert (your choice of style)
  • Sit up, bring legs together in pike, placing legs parallel with the poles
  • Reach behind knees and grab poles
  • Push toes towards ground, then straddle, pushing hips forward, arch, and pose (if using footlocks)
  • Extra pose (if using eggbeaters), bend knees in arch (try to touch your head with your toes)
  • Let go of grip, fall forward and reach for poles
  • Pull upright, let go of one pole, regrab, undo footlocks (or eggbeaters)

Filmed early on in my aerial journey. Sped up to be faster. Also, try to grab the pole that’s closest to your body, the exit will be much smoother. I didn’t do this in the first part of the video.
Filmed more recently. Nice to see progression. This is a friendly reminder to film your journey often!
