1. 'Grip' the pole using the crook of the top of your foot and your knee. The exact position is detailed. Because your knee is pushing on one side of the pole and your foot the other you will be able to hold yourself up.

2. Step up as you pull your body towards the pole.

3. You will now be standing up against the pole, above the ground.

(Note: This is a common starting place for many tricks and is an easy way to climb up.)

4. Position the pole between your legs; your crotch will be the fulcrum. Lower your body until your arms are straight out in front of you, and at the same time bring your legs straight up. Imagine you are on a swing! Cross your legs at the ankles for extra security.

To slide down the pole simply loosen your grip with your hands!
