Posting because the new polers need to know her
I posted this on facebook but am posting it here also. Most of those new to the scene have probably never heard of Sarah Cretul but you certainly know her moves. We would have no twisted grip without her, no flag mount, no pretzel spin. She was the first I ever saw fly into a spin…and I mean FLY. This video was posted to youtube around 2008. You may need to log into YT to view it as it is age restricted. Think…this was 4 years ago…before the first USPDF competition ever existed. She still has stuff in this video that makes my head spin.

In searching YT I found this video of her from just a few months ago. If you do not scream at 2:45 and then again at about 3:50 there may be something wrong with you.

Oh my goodness i have never seen someone spin so fast!! She is amazing! Kind of disappointed I am just now hearing about her, but thankful to have came across your post 🙂

OMG! It’s so funny that you just posted this!!! I was just doing a search on her, literally 5 minutes ago! She is one of my favorite polers and I was hoping she put something new up. But I didn’t find anything. Thanks so much for sharing. It’s good to see that she is still poling.

The very first USPDF competition Jenyne took 1st, Alethea took 2nd (Miss Sexy) and Sarah took 3rd (Miss Trixster).
-
Thank you for sharing her links and giving her props. She is the full package, strong, flexible, charismatic. Such an inspiration.
-
Wow, she is pretty bad-ass. I can't believe she's not more famous!
-
On Mnday Wendy Traskos posted this video from 2009 :o)
-
I miss seeing her videos she is soooo good!!! Has she posted anything new lately??? i remember the recaps of the first uspdf like it was yesterday!
-
She is amazing!!!
-
@ PoleFitMom, I seen that video on Alethea Austin's facebook a few days ago and their performance is so amazing! I had to save to my favorites on youtube.
-
Thanks for posting chem. Haven't seen one of her vids in awhile. She's so amazing it's outta this world!!
-
Glitter, the second video that I posted was from February of this year.
The USPDF routinwe with Alethea is what had prompted my posting this.
Sarah had dropped out of pole for some time and at one point was racing dirt bikes out in LA. She is back in Florida. She was never one to really compete and have to put routines together. I liken her to Shadow who is also bad ass but many have no idea who she is. There are so many greats out there that just don't want to compete but are deserving props for the inspiration they have provided to many. Just think if Veena did not have this site…would you know who she is?
-
I remember when she posted the video of her poling in her barn and you were praying that the barn wasnt going to come down on her.

So this is my absolute favorite video of Sarah Cretul. actually, it's THE favorite video of mine 😀 It's her entry for the IPDFC 2009 competition on Tokyo.

check out move 0.55-1.00sec. She makes the twisted grip look so effortless!!! It's like she has invisible strings on her legs that are pulling her upwards. Amazing!!!!
-
I can’t view the last video 🙁 it says it is not found
-
@chemgoddess1- Thanks for bringing up Shadow…she is awesome. Her spins are insane!
-
I agree! Love the videos. Thanks for posting : )
-
She is INCREDIBLE. I couldn't believe how amazing she was when I saw her at the PDF thing. Thank you for posting these!
-
Love how fast she spins!!! I want to barf after moving so slooooooow. LOL
Where can I see Shadow's vids? She took down all the vids from YT channel I subscribed to of hers. 🙁
-
@polefairy – you can do a search on YouTube under ipdfc 2009 Sarah Cretul.
Also LOVE Shadow too. IMO, she’s the best spinner out there.
Wish these ladies would tour and do workshops.
-
If you google Shadow Pole Dancer you will see her vids. I cannot remember what her YT name is and I cannot access it at work.

Shadow is INSANELY AWESOME at spinny pole. Holy crapoly she rocks my world. Sarah is 100% badass. Everything she does looks like it requires no effort at all for her. She gets into some of the pretzel-y-est positions and just floats out of them like some sort of little pole sprite.
-
Sarah Cretul was and is such a huge inspiration – she makes tricks sexy not just tricks, I love that!
I am lucky enough to be friends with Shadow, she's amazing inside and out. She's been studying aerial arts as of late. she just had a surgery so she's out for about a month. We're very happy she cam through and won't be off for too much time.
Here's one of my favorites of Shadow

Oh an yah! Shadow is hella fast – we tried to do doubles a few times on spin pole and she was in charge of the spinand I thought I was going to fall off and puke! LOL! I have been really lucky to have her as a friend – aside from being literally the fastest spinner I've ever seen who is very giving with her knowledge, she can fix anything on a car!!!! LOL! She went with me to USPDF ECR to support me and she packed like 5000 thongs, air matresses, blankets, snacks, boob glue, boob tape – like anything you could possibly need!!! Extra outifts!!! She was really, really supportive of everyone but it was so nice to have the IPDFA 2009 Pole Fit Champ in my corner <3

Alethea's body waves are SICK!!!!!!!!

@ Charley- Thanks for posting the vid and the update on Shadow. That is one of my favorite videos as well. She is the reason I decided to start taking lessons. I saw some of her videos on Youtube and wanted to be that good one day:)
