Sole Circle

A circling skill on bar in which the feet are placed on the bar alongside the hands and the whole body travels around the bar back to support. The legs straighten fully on top of the bar and the toes press firmly into it while the arms pull, so hands and feet work against each other through the entire circle. A low, direct entry works better than a big cast — the momentum comes from dropping straight into the circle, and a small wrist shift at the top carries the body back over the bar. It is normally learned with the feet apart before the more flexible feet-together shape, and early progressions release at the bottom of the circle to land on the feet past the bar.
