This is going to sound so weird, but my old instructor used to teach this trick by advocating ‘Mr Bean hips’. If you have ever seen the Mr Bean tv shows or movies, check out the way he walks with his hips kinda thrust forward. She would have us practice that walk and just putting our hips in and out of the position before trying the trick. It really works, and it’s fun too, lol!

Thank you so much!

I know just how you feel. I have sent out what feels like a million, and truthfully probably runs into at least a couple thousand, individual mails on my facebook account and about 90% of them are ignored. I did have one lovely lady who told me she could not vote for it because she was a woman of god and could not vote for stripping who when I mailed her back explaining it is pole fitness not stripping not only voted but asked if I knew anywhere near her that she could go to take lessons! I directed her here to ask if anyone here knew, lol. I feel very disillusioned with the lack of caring nature people have shown on facebook though. The game requests keep on coming and something that could actually make a difference in the world gets completely ignored. How sad.

Oh, I am so sorry this has happened. Just take the time to grieve and take in the news. It takes time to process things like that, especially when it is so sudden. Give yourself time and get back into life and poling when you are ready. I am thinking af you for all it means…

Still 24 hours to get 90 votes, but even if I dint win I am donating for the likes so it still counts at this point! Thank you!

That is awesome! Flash can be such an unstable thing anyway so removing it has to help! No upgrades necessary for the other browsers though, right? Just IE9

Reenie, the magnet falls to the floor on the pole itself, it is only the dome and the cover over the adjustment piece that are TG.

Ok, rudimentary advice on spinning is that if you want to slow down, extend part of your body away from the pole, an arm, a leg, lean your upper body away etc. This is sort of like aerodynamics where you want to create wind resistance. In order to spin faster you bring yourself in towards the pole, make yourself smaller almost which creates less wind resistance(lol @ wind resistance, but I can't think of another term for it!), provided you have not stopped spinning completely by the time you manage to do this it works a treat. I often use it when trying to land a spin in a particular spot by putting my body that little bit closer or further away so that I will arrive at just the right time in the routine. Some moves it will naturally slow(I don't find it with a CAR/CKR, but i do find it with planks or superman or the like but everyone is different)and I was told by a teacher once when I asked that this is normal, and the trick is to make sure you have enough momentum at the beginning of the move that will slow down to cover it if that makes sense? Then you put a move after it where you are closer to the pole to bring the momentum back up if needed. I don't know if I put that right, but that is the way I do it even if I have not explained it well.

If it spins well enough at other times maybe it is the fact that the closer you are to the pole the faster you spin and maybe you are moving arms and legs too far away from the pole getting into your inverted moves which makes the spin slow down? I have that problem sometimes, and holding myself a little closer to the pole makes it spin faster.

Hi. When I first put up my brass x-pole it was indeed a little slippery, but I wiped it down with acetone and now it is super grippy. It also works for when the kids get greasy fingerprints on it as kids will do.
-
Yeah, I find wikipole helpful and I look that the other sites too. I suppose that having it in printed form would be nice, and depending on the binding on it it could make a nice coffee table type book…

I bought that one from amazon and the shipping to Australia was $16 for 3 day shipping. I advise buying that one from amazon, lol!
-
I am sorely tempted, and at $40 plus $9 in international shipping it's not that steep a cost either really. I just wonder how much use it would be. If I read correctly it is not an instruction book, but more a picture book telling you the names of the move. Maybe I am wrong there though…

Brass is amazing, but my xjoint was faulty on it. still waiting on replacement part 🙁
