Me, I prefer x- pole aka X-stage for the following reasons.
1. The pole is higher and in their demo. they didn't go 10 feet to 10 feet comparision/ stability. Their demo was 8 feet to 10 feet and so, not a true comparison mathematically.
2. Since someone was doing a trick on the PS and the pole part at the bottom came off I am not a fan.
3. It may take a few x-tra minutes to set up but safety first.
4. What I don't like about X-stage are the exposed extensions and would like to see X-pole provide attaching platform for circumference of the stage as certain things as in floor work can not really be done.
Furthermore, in my opinion there needs to be a new design for a stage pole that embraces some qualities of the PS & the X-STAGE.
I would only use an X-STAGE to pole outside at thebeach or ror demo purposes. I would rather say to install your own pole is probably the best if you can.

It is comparable if not more than crossfit in one hour.
Spinning burns more calories though than static.
The thing is the calculations have to be in concordance to your body …and so, also one has to keep moving for the whole hour to be accurate because I see people saying I poled for 2hrs and they in fact only did 30 min. with standing around for the 1 1/2 hr. I understand that everyone can have down days but these are usually the same people.

I didn't know there was that many of us.
Kudos Ladies!!

Someone needs to put a pole in her room so when polers visit and to help re-hab herself and the staff & maybe even raise money for her hospital bill by having non-stripping performances in their lobby/ food court.
Even maybe organize a a flash pole at the hospital to raise money for her …but I don't know how that would work but I know it can.

JiggalLuv87 , I hope she keeps her money & not the establishment.
-
I hope she's ok. WOW! Signature move should be all the money thrown at her feet and the guys to broom it off the platform b/c there is so much. Nice! Good Stuff!
I wish her good health and speedy recovery.

Thank You for this. I will try it.
I too am allergic to latex and when people have smart remarks about it I explain seriously "No manisthat good lol…& that wasn't an orgasm only anaphylactic shock" and leave it at that.
-
It looks like you go into allegra then upside down allegra extension and your hand for support on the bottom as you face the pole like when you push into the cradle to butterfly/ special K = Marion Amber
That's how I am processing that move.

I am not a big help here on a movie but, it was a black 'n white movie.
The actress was dancing around her pole in her flat/apartment as she was talking to a detective that had had relations with her. Sorry 🙁 I don't know the movie's title.
On the song video 'Jail House Rock' where Elvis Presley does a few pole moves in here and so do other dancers. One of the first male pole dancers is Elvis Presley…ha! who knew?

ok It is now 5:20pm here and where you are in California, it says that's it's 2:20pm (afternoon)
-
LOL … I don't know I would have to google that.
-
I would be able to play tomorrow afternoon around 3 or from 6 to 8pm
-
I work shift work so I can work around peoples sched. if anyone wants to pole with me.
I am thinking that one may want to skype pole with others as well and when we are online or something.
-
I am occasionally.
Looking forward to play.

Hello SamH,
I only had one positive experience so far and hope to keep it going that way.
We warmed up and we asked what we were working on and we were both working on one trick i.e. the knee hold. We giggled & laughed at our vulnerability in ref. to knee hold. She was closer to getting it than I was. Anyways, we moved on to other stuff & different combo's and stuff she learnt and shared stuff that I learnt and I would watch her and her me and we would encourage each other. A whole hour went by and we could of gone on for a bit more but her skype / computer cam. was not working and she used her phone to skype for the cam. We were about to spin next and her phone died and funny to as just in time for my show called "Once Upon A Time".
We also worked on some floor stuff. Anyways, it was fun and I want to do this again because a practice is a practice no matter what.
-
I didn't know that. Do people meet there? I was never asked to play there before.

Thanks for all the tips on the knee hold. I am soooo close I can taste it.. I am a bit…alot scared at letting go of the top hand.

@minicoopergrl *BIG THANK YOU* I so appreciate that. It sounds perfect to shuttle from there to the venue and that means no car rental.
Is there shopping around the venue?
-
I am planning to be there. Hopefully stay at the venue or close by or crash at someones place in L.A. Who will have me over?

@robynnes,
I also find in interesting that you all seem to extend much grace to all that don't oppose you but don't extend grace to someone like me that has an opinion on the matter.
I spoke privately with Tammy on fb on this matter too btw and we are not angry with each other and in fact it has made us grow.
As for most entertainer…I knew that but that's us as a Canadian country or borders are that way so why not? LOL We let everything in apparently even terrorists….hahaha
-
Easy with the yelling out of control. ^
I am aloud to express my opinion that may not be in agreement with yours & I can leave it at that.
One point I do agree with is the ladies in amateur division will grow with this exposure and to be performing at an awesome facility. I apologize should I have offended anyone in amateur division as I meant to remove that comment but I pressed a button instead of deliting that phrase. I wish you all the best.. Unlike some people should you be angry and upset at me then yes, I will own what I said. and apologize for it as that part came out wrong. Again sincere apologies.

WOW!
You know Olivia is right.
I do believe for example dimes to dollars that Natasha Wang will be giving workshops next year in NYC. Is it in her contract I don't know but for being there is only right as people want to meet her.
Now as for my bit in all of this is that on fb I had asked Crystal a ? and she responded that she was going to Rio. MPDC had not publicized this as I am sure the organizer,Tammy, was aware.
It would of been right for MPDC to announce this months earlier vs the way it was found out on FB.
Crystal did say that many encouraged her to go as she was swayed to go by friends….lol I would pick better friends because it was the wrong advice as her prior desire was to be at mpdc.
I do believe that written or unwritten rule subliminal or not that the winner of mpdc should step down because this is part of the commitment to be present at mpdc and also do workshops for people to meet her. Instead the mpdc has lovely people from the U.S. to come and give workshops. There are 'NO CANADIANS' giving workshops at mpdc.
I beloved that Tammy has a heart for pole but is disorganized because she is very busy with 'two studios, & her five year old' …balancing all of this is challenging and to do the right thing at this level must be challenging and stressful because it requires more strength and energy to do so …plus, to assess potential damages to her studios reputation as she is inadvertently fully impacted from every direction. It is the dynamics of the people involved here.
To me it's easy. Crystal, can not fulfill her commitment to mpdc and so, runner up Shanyn should take it; but she on fb didn't want the crown from Crystal this way and I understand as for what for a couple of wks…logically then to me everyone needs to move up two spots.
I do not wish ill will to anyone but to only do what is right.
Now at this point I truly don't want Crystal, at mpdc because she will be absent of mind & heart being there. Inadvertently, this tells me alot about a persons integrity & honor towards the hand that has fed you. I was always told that you don't bite the hand that feeds you. Well …mpdc has fed Crystal and she bit it. I am disappointed in the whole mpdc and wonder how come that she wasn't invited to Denver, International Pole Competition .
Get this there is presently 2 World Competition and 1 International and so, to me = 3 World Pole Competition.& copyrights be gone…lol What country is gona go after what country for this copyright? It's very confusing to me that there are 3 world pole comps in one year & I don't get that at all.
Why couldn't Crystal go to this one in Denver? vs Rio? and she would of made it in good form to mpdc. I also hate to say this but our amateur division is very intermediate/beginner compared to the U.S. Amateur Division and their pro division where probably Crystal doesn't stand a chance and so, maybe this is why Rio. Dunno just TOL (thinking out loud)
We need to grow alot here in Canada in ref. to Pole in so many area and I know this has been a growth experience in different ways for me.
I wish you all the best poling days ahead.in integrity & honor in everything that you do.
