I’ve seen it called a Skater Split in another thread and that’s where I got the vid from Jenyne, but I can’t remember where that was.
-
Ok, I need a better photo of me doing this not in black and from different angles, but I did put the vid up, I believe!
Flying Cupid drops the leg behind the pole, this drops the leg in front and has no other contact points besides the knee pit. How do you get out of it, Charley?
-
oops. oh yeah! you guys are right! skater split is the harder one where you have to contort a little… my bruises can attest to that!
polergirl, i think you’re thinking of the skater.
moonflower, Veena does hers from a sit which looks hard and fast! She also has this extended really far! Has her bottom foot hooked maybe to help keep her on? Jenyne does hers from a pole stand at 3.25 here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRhAIzu_cWM I have been working on this too and am SO bruised on my arm. I don’t hold it across my ribs much at all. Thigh and arm. I find I have to keep my head down and lean away from the pole, put my arm back and kick my leg up all at the same time. Still working on smoothing it out…a lot…
-
Excellent topic, this is something I need to work on soon.
-
Video link for the jasmine you’re talking about? A superman from this modified marley?!!! That would be so crazy cool. I can’t see how though. Someone show me! Damn, I need someone my level or above to pole jam with!
-
NICE! One day I hope mine will be as smooth!
-
News, ladies!
Not exactly pole dancing as a sport IN the Olympics, but Bobbi’s is choreographing part of the opening ceremony for the Youth Olympics! I just ignored all the other closed minded bologne.

That was what I was attempting cause I always go into a foot hook from a Brass Monkey. Didn’t quite work. Ha ha. Will try again tomorrow in my private lesson, if I have time.
-
Lol, could go back to a cupid then into a Butterfly…. hmmm, can I get back into a cupid?! Ok, so this needs more work.
-
I should go to grab the other ankle too, see if that works. Feels so secure. Like the ridiculous flip up too? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

The 3.14 entry looks pretty damn awesome too. WOAH!
-
Another update. Worked on this a tiny bit today. Still looks so crap when I do it, but I have worked out that I need to shift my butt over to one side to get a proper foot hook. No wonder I wasn’t getting it. Duh! Also, my anchored diva has actually gotten worse. On a good day I used to be able to lay it right back horizontal. So… no no-handed anchored diva for me! I blame my thighs slimming down still. Now I actually have to use muscle and I just can’t squeeze that hard yet! Anyhoo. Vid won’t upload. Maybe tomorrow.

Forgot to say: also called a skater split
-
Jenyne does this from a ragdoll (crucifix bent over). Practiced this today https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Looking forward to hearing/seeing more from you, fellow Melbournite. Maybe we can pole jam some day? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

No way!!!! Can’t wait to see this for real!

Just nailed my forearm aysha… and did a split grip for like 2 seconds the other day in studio, but needs so much more balance! Need to try elbow grip again now I have my hand grip sorted at home https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif Might be able to get it and put more input here. Leaning out really does help.
HOW do you booty pop an aysha???!!! I really really want to pop the booty in an aysha in my routine to go with the lyrics of the song I am working with and I just can’t seem to get it. Maybe it’s because I have no booty…. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif I think it might be more of a case of me arching and straightening my back to make it look like I’m popping… very different to being right way up and not fighting gravity…lol. Will probably put a vid up sometime this week of my inverted booty fails…heh heh.

Eeeeee! I am excited and I’m not even in the country…. ha ha https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif

I am always writing lists. So many lists…
I’ve read somewhere that some girls have full on spreadsheets with possible combinations and everything. That would be SO cool to have.
-
I used to go into bow and arrow and pencil to lunchbox from a CKR because my back arches more naturally and there’s more room to move my hands behind me and less chance I’ll slip out of a CAR before I get a hand grip. But I’ve been working on my CAR a lot and have neglected all these moves… oops. If you can Brass Monkey, you could go into a foot hook from there and around to a pencil, then lunchbox, I think. I should actually try that…
-
I started out ‘self-taught’ and had my pole for a year, but I wasn’t dedicated. I did tricks for photos to show off and my entrances and exits sucked and I could NOT dance (still am pretty bad)… oh and I had put on 15 kilos since high school… so I started classes at the beginning of 2009. So addicted!

Hi Anna!
Welcome to poling and to SV!
I’m in Melbourne. Whereabouts are you?
-
Some more park photos and a street sign:
Need to face out and not up, bad habit looking at my own legs.

Tree sap contains resins. Pine tar based grip could work. I was wondering what the difference between resin and rosin is… Rosin is solidified resin, which is what we use in pole class (crushed up to a powder), what some gymnasts use and what I used to rub on the bottom of my ballet shoes when I was a kid. I so need to find a supplier so I can have some for home.
I managed a gemini and a reverse aysha at the park the other day (as well as butterfly and extended butterfly and failed my aysha attempt…aw), but I bared my hip to get grip, not sure if your modest costume allows for that? Also did a CKR on a street pole in jeans… would need a super grippy pole like with butterfly balm, or you could go chinese pole style and cover your pole in rubber matting, you’d have SUPER grip…lol.

Just thinking… same goes for spinning mode. You could try everything both sides and also spinning both ways, so that’s four different ways to think about!
Seriously, lately I’ve been really actually forgetting which side is my dominant side for each particular move. I hit static class and go to climb on my gumbi side and can’t figure out why I’m having to pull up with my hands so hard.
We’ve been learning new moves in longer combo sequences lately and sometimes I’ll be using dominant side for the first move, then switch to non-dominant side for the next move, again on non-dominant side for different pressure points, then finishing in dominant side (or something like that) and then I’ll also try it spinning in the opposite direction and … just does my head in. Having trouble remembering which side to start on for each combo for my test on Wednesday and I am wanting to put my own little moves and finishing touches in there, but just remembering the sequence and executing it without making it too messy takes all my concentration…lol.
Damn you, gumbi side!
Wait wait… then there’s also doing moves backwards on both sides and spinning in both directions! My math fails me now.
