Suspended Ladders Tutorial

Instructions

Ensure that you have adequate padding below you! 

Monkey Bar Technique (Basic)

1. Grab onto the first bar with both hands.
2. Get a little bit of momentum, and on the forward swing reach forward with one hand to the next bar.
3. When traversing from the 3rd to the 4th bar,  be sure you stay in control so you don't lose your grip when the ladder slams down.
4. Transition to the next ladder, as you would on normal monkey bars, and repeat the above steps.

Reverse Technique (Advanced)

1. Start with both hands on the first bar, this time facing the other direction.
2. Perform a pullup motion, while at the same time transferring one hand to the next bar.
3. When traversing from the 3rd to the 4th bar,  be sure you stay in control so you don't lose your grip when the ladder slams down.
4. Transition to the next ladder, making sure to look back and spot the bar, and repeat the above steps.

Pro Tip- Practice traversing normal monkey bars backwards before attempting the reverse technique on the Suspended Ladders
