Haha, yep, I read about the humptydumpty correction on a Dutch news forum last month. Crazy, isn’t it?!! As if all the kids since 1803 who grew up with the original version were all scarred for life https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif

Hey Az,
I use chalk occasionally. I can do most of my practice without it, but it’s nice to have as a last resort. Especially for twisted grip and iguana mount practice on ‘slippery days’. I can do both without chalk, but sometimes it just feels a little more safe with the chalk, when I’m not sure if my hands have enough grip to stay up. I try to use as little as possible (both in amount and in occasions), for exactly the reason you mentioned of not wanting to have to rely on grip aids. I have no experience with mighty grip, btw, just the chalk. All I can say is that it works for me. But only for practicing individual moves/combos, I don’t like chalk on my hands when I do spins (except maybe on hot summerdays, those are very different https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif ). And I don’t like that the chalk gets smeared all over the pole, so when I use it I wipe the pole a lot.
Wow, that was quite a rant. I hope it helps you.
Best of luck!

A while ago X-pole sent out an official e-mail to warn the public about fake X-poles.
This is what they wrote:PLEASE PASS THIS ON……..
Fake X-poles
As some may have heard there have been some Fake X-Poles on the market, these have come from EBay, We have one of these fake X-Poles here and they are very dangerous. We are in the process of dealing with this. We have had them removed from eBay and are now taking action to have this stopped and to help protect the safety of all the dancers. If your student has bought a pole from ebay for less than £159.99 the likeliness that this is fake is very high.
The main ways to know if the pole is fake is :1) The upper dome is made of plastic, it has black rubber around it and the silver section is very thin plastic. ( this will crack on pressure being applied)
2) The base is not articulating.
3) The base does not have our little X’s on them.
4) The joints are not welded together therefore they will come out and the pole will just be a tube.
5) The instructions are a photo copy and the DVD is also a bad copy.
6) There are only 2 ball bearings – this means the pole will not spin under pressure.If your customer has bought one of these poles they will not be covered for any injuries caused to them selves or to their property, They can not exchange the pole and Vertical Leisure will not be able to replace any faulty parts.
If you do have a customer complaint regarding an X-Pole which has been bought from eBay or not from yourselves please ask them for there serial number which will be on the upper dome. Ask them if the base has the X’s on them ect and check the pole. If this is a Fake I would recommend that they get a full refund via PayPal and send the pole back to who they bought it from.
If any school / company / person is found selling Fake X-poles we will not only take legal action (already pending with one company ) we will also not supply them with Real X-poles, X-stages or any product from Vertical Leisure.
Should one of these fake poles fail and someone is hurt this will reflect on the whole pole dance industry. Remember the negative reaction to dance poles in Tesco’s imagine what would happen if someone was to harm them selves on one of these. Everyone’s hard work over the past few years would be lost. We are not just concerned for our product but as a dancer myself am concerned for the future of pole dancing itself with rubbish such as this on the market.
X-POLE is a quality brand and we do not want our customers confusing this rip-off version with the quality and safety associated with genuine X-POLE products
If you have already been approached by a company offering CHEAP X-poles please be aware of the above information. To help us have this stopped please try and get as much information as possible regarding the company/person trying to sell these to you. The more information we get the better. If you are approached to commence selling the new imitations, please gather as much information about the poles and the distributors as possible. Written or emailed information is best.
Be very suspicious if the distributor wont leave you with a sample to test, if they wont let you personally assemble & play with the product/parts, or if they don’t leave you with any tangible information (e.g. brochures detailing the product and / or its assembly).
Ask about replacement parts, warranties and insurance. -
Haha, ROTFLMAO! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
and then the one guys says: "I haven’t had a pump like this in a long time" https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif -
The diameter of the dome is 15 inch. (It’s on the Features page of the xpole website, next to the 4th pic) https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Tine, I agree with all your comments and suggestions!
I just have one addition, and I might be the only one, but I would love it if you could see what the length of the vid is on/with the thumbnail! If that would be possible in any way, that would be totally awesome!!
However it may play out, webmaster you are the https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/bom.gif (bomb) https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumleft.gif
Thank you for your hard work and dedication!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif -

Welcome to the site mszscorpio!!
And you’re right practice does make perfect. Lots and lots of practice https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
But you will get there! Have fun!!! -
OMG! You’re right, I just saw it too https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif
I was just getting started on watching each and every vid, starting with the oldest ones…
Where did they all go??? Can we have them back?
Also, I’m missing the usernames that were before displayed along with the thumbnails. That always helps me to choose which vid I want to check out first..
*edit: I do like that the comments are now ‘newest on top’ https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
But the vids were bigger before, weren’t they? -
LOL!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif Excellent commercial! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I use Firefox, and usually don’t encounter any chat problems, but I’d deffo try if IE works better for you! You never know… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_batman.gif

For your shoulder the shoulder exercises that Veena posted (as a vid) on this site might help? They concentrate on strengthening the rotator cuff, which you use a lot when poling.
I’m not sure about the elbow thoughEdit: found the shoulder exercise vid: http://www.studioveena.com/video/gallery/medium-2009-02-23

I often do go back to vids and blogs I commented on. Especially when I know the person that posted replies to (almost) everyone’s comments. But that’s just me.
Excellent question btw, I was wondering the same thing too. It would be really nice if we got notifications…Edit: I just thought of something else. I always wonder how quick people notice the new comments on their profile if they already have like a million comments. Since they’re shown in reverse order. (Or actually not reversed, if that makes more sense) https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif

putting up an x-pole definitely doesn’t involve any screws in neither ceiling nor floor
maybe it’ll help if you show him more info (all the info is on x-pole’s website: http://www.xpoleus.com) and/or show him the installation video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HotUDsm0wiY
good luck!

Woooooooooooo https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif I’m doing a happy dance for you!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
Maybe I should contact housing too, and ask them if my ceiling could handle an X-pole https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif
On the other hand, I’ll probably be moving in a few months anyway… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif
Ah well..Wheeeee! I’m still so happy for you!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif And I still think you were entitled to being angry before, but all’s well that ends well https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

lol, I have the exact same thing with the true grip
I’m so in need of a true tutorial https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
-
actually, (to make it even more confusing) according to wikipole:
– lunchbox = rubber pencil
– pencil split = broken pencil*sigh* all those different names… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif
-
I just thought of something I read some time ago:
You can fill the base with water or sand to weigh it down if it’s not sturdy enough.
-
That sounds really awesome! When will the whole thing take place?
Oooh, and: we want vids! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
