Climb the pole to a pole stand. Grip with your legs and take your body in front of the pole so that your strong arm is closer to the pole. Bend your body forward trapping the pole between your arm and the side of your body. Hold both arms together behind your back. Make sure you have a good grip with your strong leg (which should be behind the pole pressing forward into it.) Take your weaker leg off of the pole and stretch it out behind you. As you do this, tighten your grip with your arms and bend your body forward to get your leg and back in a straight line.
