Straddle Inversion

  • Separate silks, grab poles in strong point, straddle legs, lift legs up until they touch the poles
  • OR
  • Silks together to one side, grab pole in strong point, straddle legs, lift legs up until body touches pole
  • Either of these inversions can be done from a strong point with bent arms, or with straight arms (more difficult)
  • To exit, lower legs with controlled speed back to starting position
