How to perform Adv Tuck Skin the Cat

  1. Hang from the rings with straight elbows and bend the knees.
  2. Keep the hips opened to approximately 90 degrees as you bring the legs through the arms and rotate into inversion.
  3. Continue the controlled rotation until the hips and torso lower behind the hands into a German hang.
  4. Stop within your controlled shoulder range while keeping the elbows straight; the torso is no longer inverted at the bottom.
  5. Reverse through the same arc and open-tuck shape instead of bouncing out of the bottom.
  6. Return to a controlled hang and lower the feet.
