- Climb at least 1.5 body lengths
- Split poles, straddle up, and crochet legs
- Cross tails behind back and bring tails forward to keep them in the arm pits
- Bend knees, big sit-up, bringing tails with you
- Reach hands across to grab opposite poles and pull into ‘X’ in front of you, pull over
- You may remain in a piked fold, or you may raise your chest up and pose, you can let go if stable
- Bend both knees (keep this bend as it is what will catch you when you drop) and hold tight to both poles with arms bent
- Push pelvis forward while driving heels towards your bottom and drop
- To exit, straddle legs and bring hands with tails up to match the poles, hold both
- Create a foot break on the tails, release one tail and re-grab the pole, repeat on the other side (important to only do one at a time as you may experience a slack drop)
- Shake silks off legs
