While visiting StankHill in Virginia Beach this summer, Scully led us in a circuit around the Mt. Trashmore playground. It included an up-and-over on a horizontal bar on each lap, which was difficult to master. You need strength, skill, and technique to swing your feet up and over and then not drop yourself on your skull. Agoge happens to have such a horizontal bar, so I was glad to bring out the up-and-over as part of the main event this morning.
