I don’t know if this makes any difference to the studio but if we have more people wanting to come than we have space for, I’m fine with being the designated spotter and not poling. I’ll be teaching lots of workshops that weekend so I’ll get plenty of pole time https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
I’m so excited to meet everyone!!!

If you are looking to take your pole up and down frequently, I believe the lil minx is your best bet because once you have the hook in the ceiling you can just pop it in and out. X-pole and platinum stages will both require more work.

lol, we’re just to quick! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
YES!!! Go edit new lessons NOW Veena!!! How exciting!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

lol, bumslide is the dismount where you go from a basic inverted crucifx, put your hands on the floor in a handstand, and then split your legs into a middle split and roll all the way down until your feet hit the floor.
For a good example of how to do the tail split on one butt cheek, watch Alethea at 0:19-0:25
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vvv4CkWt9ssIt is possible to do it right in the middle, I just think it hurts too much! And doing it on one side still gives the same effect.

I call this a tail split and I do not do it centered on the tailbone (ouch!), instead you go from a sit, lean over to one side so that your butt cheek skin is on the pole, and open into the split. This move require lots of abs! It’s similar to the bum slide in the sense that you don’t want the pole to be in the center, you are going to shift it to one side of your butt so that it doesn’t hurt so much!

The hardest part is getting everything to fit in 90/60 seconds and making it look like a DANCE! Try to figure out what combination of moves flows best and in what order so that it doesn’t look like a series of tricks but looks like a dance instead. I’m seeing some great vids already! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I’m sorry to hear you are in pain https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif I always think it’s best to try every option before going for surgery. Find a good physical therapist who can give you exercises fro your arches and do them RELIGIOUSLY! Even if it doesn’t eliminate the need for surgery, you will be much better off coming out of it if you are stronger going in. The key is to do them every day without fail. I’ve heard good things about acupuncture for the inflammation but you really need to strengthen those muscles to support your foot! Keep us updated ok? I feel for you since I am in the same situation with my shoulders, it sucks!

Floorwork is meant to be 20 seconds continuous. It’s hard to count 20 seconds if you break it up anyhow!

YAY!!! Gooooooo Roxy! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I agree with Veena, a pose can be any position on the ground. Up the pole it would be considered a hold.
part of the challenge is to fit all the elements in a set amount of time so I think it’s more fun if we stick to the time limits. Of course if you want to post a longer video as well, we would all love to see it!
A thigh hold, according to the USPDF standards, is any position where both thighs are the main thing keeping you on the pole, ie: a simple layout, a cross ankle or knee release, superman, etc.
i can’t wait to see what everyone does! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Yes, Roxy you got the elements right https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif The only things to clarify are that you can’t combine elements (ie: jade will not count as an invert and a split, it can only be one or the other), upright static pose means no leg on the pole, and if you are using a spinning pole you must make two full rotation for a move to count as a spin.
I think it would be a great challenge for those of you who want to push yourselves (fitting all that in 90 seconds is tough!) but it will be a little hard for the beginners on the site so if we do it, we should come up with a second set of required elements. You can pretend you are entering the "pro" category or the "amateur" category or something like that?

You will definitly know tomorow if you’ve pulled a muscle. Sometimes you can’t tell at the time because you’re warm enough that your body will endure it, but if you did pull it, it will hurt tomorow and you won’t be able to stretch it without pain. However, the re-adjustement feeling may have been just that: your tendon readjusting in its groove, so don’t freak out yet!

very funny! and sooooo true! I remember going through the teenage years and being convinced that I was ugly and being overly critical of every part of my body, I even drew a picture of myself pointing out all the things I didn’t like (like the video)! Thank goodness I grew out of that self-conscious phase to realize I may not be perfect, but I’m good enough!!

Yeah, who is going? Let’s meet up SV people!
