A low single rail is a very useful piece of equipment to master different technical aspects of several horizontal bar or uneven bar skills.  The back bail is the beginning part of back giants.  The drill is performed falling very stretched from the handstand and landing flat down on soft mats approximately at the same height as the low rail.  The pointed feet must contact the mat before the hips or abdominal are with the body showing a subtle hollow position.  The arms should be by the ears bailing down straight and pushing away with the shoulders area very stretched.
