Dangle Handle Pass

Prerequsites:
You must be able to easily lift your own body weight, easily enough to pull your body up, and kick your feet above your head.  It's not impossible to perform this trick if you are unable to lift your own weight, but it does make it much more difficult and it increases the risk of you hurting your shoulder rotator cuffs, even if you complete and land the trick.

It's highly recommended to lose fat, and build a high upper body strength to weight ratio, by working out your arm and back muscles by doing pull-ups.

Land Practice

Rig up a "handle pass bar" somewhere and practice on that first. Hang an old control bar off the ground just above your head, so that when you are grabbing the bar from underneath, your arms are at 90 degree angles.

All of these step happen very quickly, in almost the same moment. 

Step One
With both hands on the bar, jump off the ground and pull the bar to one of your hips at the side of your body.

Step Two
Right before the bar actually hits your hip, start to twist the bar behind you with the hand that will pass the bar, and let go of the bar with the hand that will recieve the bar.  Continue pulling in at the step until the bar is behind your back.
