cartwheel mount on PS pole

tarah started this discussion · 6/28/2011

hey ladies, i am wondering if any of you have a platinum stages pole (with the fake chrome sleeve on the bottom), and if you are able to do the cartwheel mount on it? I am thinking that i need to place both of my hands higher on the pole, in order to avoid the sleeve. I don't feel comfortable gripping the sleeve because i'm afraid it could break. anyway i have started practicing the half cartwheel mount, and a couple of times was able to get my foot up to the pole, but wondering if i'm making things difficult for myself by doing it this way? any advice??? thanks!! :)

i'm 5'6" and have no probems doing a cartwheel on a PS pole with a bottom sleeve. i actually shoot for about 2" above the sleeve as a place to set my bottom hand! you can see the placement of my hand in relation to the sleeve in this pic: https://www.studioveena.com/photos/view_photo/b3d9d306-f18e-11df-ab19-12313b090e12 hope that helps =)

wow, great!! 😀 thanks, amy!!! your photo is beautiful!! i am very happy to hear/see this, since most girls have there bottom hand way down on the pole for the cartwheel. i will post a vid when i get it. (my pole is down atm because of having to replace the floor due to water damage from rain while we were replacing our roof). thanks again!!! :)
