Description: Interlaced Rodeo/Monkey

This is a rodeo (or monkey), in which the legs pass between the hands instead of on the outside. A glide kip and rodeo are recommended before trying this skill, however, this version of a rodeo may come more naturally to some.

Be sure to do the leg raises and stretch first so it’s easier to fold your body into the correct position while swinging under the bar.

- Sit with your legs together and extended in front of you
- Place your hands on either side of your legs. The closer your hands are to your feet, the harder it will be
- Raise legs up and down

For an added challenge, pause at the top and pulse or hold until failure

Pike Seated Leg Raises

- Keep your legs together and straight 
- Reach for your toes while focusing on pulling your belly button into your thighs

Pike Stretch

- Start in a dead hang and pull your feet under the bar
- Straighten your legs in a pike position

Interlaced Rodeo: Step 1

- Swing like you would for a glide kip
- When you bring your toes to the bar, continue the movement so they pass between your arms and under the bar
- Bend your knees around the bar, take a few swings here, and come down slowly

Interlaced Rodeo: Step 2

- Start sitting on the bar
- Lift up both hands
- Turn your upper body in the direction you want to twist
- Look for the bar and hop from your hips (this will be a very subtle movement without momentum)
- Catch the bar as you come down

Interlaced Rodeo: Step 3

- Put all the steps together and add momentum
- The more you pike, the more momentum you will gain to drive your legs down on the other side of the bar to pull you up on top of it
