To begin with you will need to develop a strong L-sit chin up by practicing repetitions as well as using static holds.

Once this is mastered, move onto the ice cream maker, which is a transition from the pull up to a front lever. If needed, use a spotter to help.

When you are ready, try to put the pieces together. Complete the chin up, go through a portion of an ice cream maker, and then pull your body around the bar finishing in a front support.

Try to practice single reps in your gymnastics skill sessions and then gradually build them into your gymnastics workouts during your training.
