This is an Outside Leg Hang (OLH). If you want to work on this trick but you don't yet have your Invert, you can still give this a try. I have a no-Invert option available, just be aware that it's a bit more challenging to find proper body placement without an Invert. Remember, there's no rush to remove the hands!
Note: Depending on your pole diameter, leg size, and amount of hip rotation, you may need to drive the heel more towards the hip as shown from the floor or slightly internally rotate by pushing away in the opposite direction. The more external rotation you have from both hips, the more secure you'll usually feel. Remember, though, everyone's body is different, so it's important to play around with what hip rotation works best for you. Here's a video that demonstrates open and closed hips in OSLH.
