How to do it
Perform a swing on the bar.
As you reach the back, bring your knees to your chest.
Release the bar and rotate until you are almost completing a 360º turn.
The turn should start a bit before releasing the bar so you can do it smoothly.
Do it to the side that comes most naturally to you and land with your legs together, without getting too far away from the bar.
