Call the X-Pole customer service and they can figure out what you need and send you new ones. Can’t guarantee they won’t charge you for it, though; depends on what it is. Their customer service is great! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
BTW: I totally thought the title of this thread was "x-pole square pants" at first glance… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

Becca’s video was amazing! I knew she was going for the death lay as soon as I saw her climb to the very top of the pole https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif I’m gonna go watch that one again!
So next year will we be seeing you winning the first place for the advanced division, Keiloces? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif You look like you will be (and really already are!) some tough competition! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

That happens sometimes. Poor Glitter got the shoulder mount, got it on tape and everything, but then couldn’t do it at all for like 6 weeks! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif She just recently was able to do it again, but it’s still hit and miss. It’s very common, so just maybe leave it be for a couple days and try again. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif You’ll get it again.

Ohhhh I am so saddened right now I’m at a loss for words… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif
It sounds like you have a lot of support from your family and friends, and we’re all here for you on SV so I’m sure you’ll be fine (even though it may not feel like it now!). Making this decision alone shows that you are a strong person. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif Best of luck to you! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_salut.gif
*yeah where is a hug emoticon??? What exactly would it look like???*
Oh well, hug substitute ~~~~~> https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif (kinda looks like a hug…) -
I was doing the same thing with my chopper and I ended up straining my back a bit. Veena was generous enough to meet me in chat once so she could show me on camera something that helps – your shoulder position! They’re always hammering it into our heads SHOULDERS BACK AND DOWN!!! and that’s why. I practice holding my shoulders back and down when I invert (you should do it all the time but it’s better to practice it on the invert instead of the chopper so your legs are there to help catch you) so I can get used to the feeling. I’m still working on it because it feels weird, but I’ve already noticed that when I try it with the chopper, even though it’s far from perfect, that little bit helps take the strain off my back.
If you’re finding you’re having trouble because the muscles between your shoulder blades aren’t quite strong enough, look up Veena’s shoulder strength video. The exercise she showed me is similar to the YTI or ITY or whatever it’s called, except for one difference. Take the T position – arms straight out to both sides – except hold you’re arms slightly further back. This will bring your back into play to hold your arms up instead of just your shoulders. Like I said, look up the video so you can see what I’m talking about.
Also, to help get you more vertical, pull your hips up as close to the pole as possible. Because your inside arm and shoulder are on the opposite side of the pole as your hips and legs, you won’t be able to be perfectly straight up and down. So just pull that pole up to as close to your no-nos as you can! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_tongue.gif

Always amazing how close modern dances compare to ancient arts. I have seen a few of these vids and it is just crazy what they can do on such thick poles! Have you guys seen pole dancing from Africa? This guy climbs a pole that isn’t bracketed and then hops around on it. The videos are kinda old but here they are:

Be well!Lol that was impressive! That whistling got annoying, though… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif Was that a fake right foot, or could he just not move it??? Poor guy, although it didn’t appear to be slowing him down any! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Popping??? Sounds painful… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif
But at least you’re feeling better. Maybe if you just stay off it long enough it’ll just go away and it’ll be one of those things you look back on someday and wonder "WTF was all that???" https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif
Keep us posted!

Hey, just wanted to let you guys know my husband let me get 2 of those pairs of shoes as well as 3 items of clothing from SV! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif I got the boots, the Sky heels, the shirt, tank, and sweatshirt. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif I ordered them last night so I’m keeping my fingers crossed that they’ll be here by the end of the week! I’m supposed to be going out with some friends on the night of my birthday (Friday) for a moms night out as well as for my birthday, so I would love to be sporting some Veena-wear. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_tongue.gif

CAPOERIA WOULD BE AWESOME!!!
I have a couple capoeria songs I’ve been kinda wanting to try poling to, https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif (I really do, too, you know the "zoom zoom zoom" song from the Mazda commercials??? That’s one of them – the commercials just leave out the line where they actually say the word "capoeria")
Yes I hope I didn’t come across as harsh about her dancing… it was very controlled, I just thought it was a bit too robotic… My favorite video ever is Hanka’s pole dance to "Rood" from the canceled "world" competition in the Netherlands and it’s a very non-sexy performance, so this one came across as very stiff to me. (you can search for Hanka’s video on YouTube, I’ve posted the link here like 5 times in different threads so I won’t do it again lol)
It just depends on what she was shooting for, that’s all.

Hehe sorry… I phrased it that way because if it took forever to do then I’m sure we could continue to live without it https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_tongue.gif But thank you, Webmaster! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Just letting everyone know that our lovely PoleDork added a Pole Pals Map under the Pole Jams forum that we can all add ourselves to in order to look and see if anyone is in the area! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif Right now there are only a few of us on the map, but everyone get on there so we can see!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif
