dips on p-bars, rope climb, and v-pulls on the wall/stall bars. and then lots of reps of presses beginning like you see in the picture, thru to a handstand, and back to the v-hold. you will need a spot and a low beam.

Gymnast Gold, how high is your current L-sit? Can you do a straddle lever? (straddle-L/sit)

Some prequisites for this skills is, V-hang on bars, preferably bars against a wall or stall/swedish bars.

A very good pike flexibility. You should be able to V-up and have your thighs close to your stomach/chest/torso.

A strong support in your arms. You need to have a strong upper body besides good stomach strength (V-hang).

Support leg lifts on parallel bars from L to V(russian). You can use a very small swing as assistance but eventually just lift your legs.
 
were you aware that bob manna is out by you coaching???
 
hang on a high bar or wall bar. lift your toes, with straight knees, up to the bar and touch the bar with your toes. go down slow and repeat.
