Human Flag

The Human Flag:

The human flag is in no way associated to free running or parkour, but is a move that displays strength and discipline. Core strength, strong abs, is the most important component of the flag. Standing next to the pole get a firm grip on the pole. Righty's tend to have their right hand closer to the ground. With both hands secure, in one swift motion lift your lower body off the ground. It will seem like all your weight is pressing on your lower arm and this is mostly true. To relieve some of the weight, pull yourself toward the pole with the upper arm. You can see clearly in the pic that both upper arms are bent and pulling in. This helps keep your lower body parallel to the ground. Nonetheless, a cool trick to pull off and see how long you can hold it.
