Yeah, I'll be going to Haze.

I’ve booked 6 workshops. 5 are back to back on Sunday. Going to be dead on Monday

I can do a forearm stand by itself 🙂 I just can’t do it next to a pole. If I’m not grabbing the pole with my hands, I feel like I’m going to miss it. And if I grab in a fore arm stand I’m too close to it. Does that make sense?
-
P: I’m the exact opposite. I can’t do it against the pole. My butt gets in the way and I don’t allign my shoulders properly.

I agree, Chem. But then again, I hate booting popping and don't see a place for it. Ever. Body rolls are fine, but God do I hate the booty pop.
Also; I watched Crystal's performance because of your post about it. I almost cried.

This is a little bit more of a fast tempo, but "sounds" the same:

This one has the same sounding singer, but is more rock/country seasoned:

I hate pleasers and refuse to pay for another pair ever again. The sole lifting is a huge issue that seems to be taking place in the SW. I don't know if it's the heat that's making the glue come undone or what! I was at work the other day and a girl bought a brand new pair of Pleasers and after 6 hours the sole was already lifting. My advice would be to get the girls to wear boots–cowboy boots, sexy boots–the cowboots boots only last about 4-6 months, but that's only $60/year for footwear instead of the $150 I seem to pay for typical heels. Pleaser's boots last a looonngg time. I work 4 days a week, 12 hour shifts on Friday and Saturday, and use my boots about two shifts a week. And they're still going strong with no breakage of anything but the rubber pads at the bottom. The nose of the shoe is a little scuffed, but I fix that with black nail polish.

I bought a legitimate x-pole sport because I didn't think I would ever use or enjoy the spin mode of an x-pert, and I sorely regret the decision! Buy the x-pert!

Maybe this is too pessimistic of a response, but this is the way I look at it; when you were younger, around 13-17. Some girls around that age find reall bad guys. Guys they try to do anything and everything to do to please. They'll even lose friends over the guy. And after a bunch of emotional/mental, or even physical abuse they'll finally get rid of the guy and have to salvage all of the relationships they had before they got into that girl's life.
I'm not saying your or anyone else's significant other is like that. The point is, always chose your friends over your mate. No matter what you do or where you go, YOU will always be stuck with you and your body. Might as well consider your body your best friend in life. Until science finds a way to swap the subconscious, you need to happy with the home your brain is in. If anyone else has a problem with it, then that's that; their problem.

I find 38 waaaaaaay too small. Impossible to do cross ankle or cross knee or flag. I prefer 45 for some things and 50 for others. When I learn a new move it’s usually on the 50. But it is becoming standard to use 45. The 45 is better for split grip or twisted, in my opinion. I can’t tell a difference between the two on moves I’ve mastered, honestly. But I have big hands. Not freakishly big. Just wide palms and long fingers.

Or, rather, it looks like you can just bend one leg in eagle. And then you're in it. Or am I looking at the wrong thing. Do you have a reference picture? Because this is the one I found via Googling "Icarina Justine"

I've seen icarus done through twisted ballerina. So I guess from there you just pull the leg up?

I had a guy yesterday who could do flag inverts and what not. But he wasn't being cocky about it, he was just trying to show some of us ladies at the studio how he did them. I agree with Hazi411. Men lack flexibility. I tried to show him Marley and he couldn't do it. 🙂 Even some of the more flexible men struggle with the back moves. Just get them to try flexi moves first! That'll show him!

I think this video was over hyped for what it was, honestly. She did a lot of amazing moves, moves we all know are very difficult. But she’s young. She SHOULD have that amount of flexibility at that age. And if you compare her body type to say, Marlo or Oona you’ll notice the lack of serious muscles and abs. She isn’t fully developed or all that heavy for her size. I agree with the idea that the industry is moving more towards vertical rhythmic gymnastics and away from dance. I prefer Marlo and Nadia over Oona and Olga for one reason; you can tell it’s not just a routine for them. Even if that is no longer the way pole wants to go, at least we will have events like Pole Art to show case that.

I’ve been in one for four months. I’ve tried personal trainers for working out to lose weight, I’ve tried a different instructor for pole (waste of time and money). I’ve changed my diet and witheevery change I’m just more depressed that it isn’t doing anything for me. It doesn’t help that it’s 115 degrees where I live and my pole is on my garage. I can’t even do more than one CKR before I start slipping in even that.

I’m not doing Other side. But I will be doing a freestyle to Neon Cathedral

No. She didn’t do arms only climb (which she did do mpdr in 2011, iirc might be 2010). She was the first person I saw do Janeiro to marchenko and now that’s the only way I can get into that move. I shared a video of her a while ago and despite the fact that she’s amazing the responses from non poles were highly negative and toxic
-
I need this in my life 10 years ago. Okay. I was only 10 at the time. But still. I needed this a LONG time ago. How unbelievably freaking cool!

I regret getting my x sport. It’s a good pole but it doesn’t spin. I recommend xpert

If you mean on craiglist ad, I already have it checked

You’ll Probably have to buy from x-pole. I’ve been searching craigslist every day since November in Phoenix, flag, LA, and sf. And the only brass poles posted are not x-pole. They’re normally stage poles (the 4×4 hand made one’s that don’t spin). But if you find a dealer let me know.
