Instructions

1. Begin in a hanging position from the gymnastic rings with your legs extended in front of you, body in a slight hollow hold, and arms straight.

2. Initiate the backward roll by pulling your legs and hips up and over your body while maintaining a tight core and slightly piked position.

3. As your hips rise over your head, bend your arms to allow your body to rotate around the rings.

4. Continue the roll by guiding your body with your arms, keeping the rings close to your body, aiming to finish in a supported position above the rings.

5. As you complete the rotation, push down on the rings, straightening your arms to end in a support hold position with your body above the rings and your legs extended below you.

6. Hold the support position with your core engaged, ensuring your shoulders are down and away from your ears, creating a stable position.

7. To dismount, you can reverse the movement by transitioning into a forward roll or simply lower your body back down to the starting hang position.

Note: This is an advanced gymnastics skill that requires significant strength, control, and familiarity with ring exercises. It's essential to master the basic ring support hold and other foundational movements before attempting the Ring Back Roll to Support.
