How do u invert?

[BDvault06]

How do u guys get inverted. ive seen it where people curl up then "shoot" their feet upwards. how i do it is i keep the trail/whip leg long the whole time while in h position until inverted, then shoot. I was just wonderin. and if u know a different way please feel free to share.

People curl up into a ball because they are losing too much energy previously in the vault to have it reach vertical and invert, a long trail leg all the way covering the pole (like i think you are saying you do) puts the most energy into the pole and allows a higher vault when inverting correctly. As for things to practice to invert, gymnastic bar work seems to be the best thing for that.
