Flatline transition to Brass Monkey

This video shows you how to prep your flatline ready for this transition. It's really important that you have the correct position and contact points, so that you start with a really solid starting point and your grip feels secure. I talk a little bit about making sure the inside foot is not flexed on the pole: this will hinder your grip. The pole should be sitting on the outside of the leg/ calf. between the ankle and the knee. It is that point of contact that you will be pressing into the pole when we start to transition. If your foot is flexed around the pole, your position is not correct.

The reason we are prepping this grip is because it's the grip we will be moving into from our flatline to get into our brass monkey. It's essential that you are able to lift yourself and keep your height whilst moving through this position. This is super safe way to practice this grip; but bear in mind when we do this up the pole from your flatline, your flag grip will be in an inverted position, with your weight above you, rather than underneath you.

This video pops all the elements together and will see you finishing in your brass monkey. Now you have the basics and you know what your body is doing, the next part will show you how we can start to make the flatline spin into a spinning brass monkey.
