Front Eagle Drop

The Front Eagle Drop resembled the Back Eagle Drop. You squatted on the monkey bar, gripped your hands, and then leaned forward rather than backward.
I was already well into the routine when I perceived the need for a reverse handgrip. I went into a free fall and crashed, face-first, into soggy tanbark. Shortly after impact, I stood up. Bark nuggets dangled from my throbbing face. I screamed. The Yard Duty dashed over, along with a throng of playground rubberneckers.
After my scabs healed, I avoided the monkey bars. Although I now understood exactly how to perform the Front Eagle Drop, I somehow felt happier jumping rope and playing foursquare.
