How To Do a Spanset Ankle Hang On Lyra

So a few #aerialists wanted to see how I got into a Spanset Ankle Hang on the Lyra. I thought I would make you a video and a step by step guide so you can nail this trick too. 

Step 1

Come to a standing position on the bottom bar of the Lyra. 

Step 2

Place one leg through the middle of the spanset. It must be a spanset with two sides. 

Step 3

Have your knee at the top of the top bar through the spanset.

Step 4

Cross the spanset over your leg and flag/flex your foot. 

Step 5

Use your hands to slowly lower your body and slide the leg out slowly so that the flagged foot is above the cross in the spanset and your ankle or calf is at the bottom.

Strike a pose.

Exit

To come out of it simply point your toe.

Did you get the ankle hang? Let me know in the comments below.
