    All I know is that there is some guy called Warren Gamble who has started a facebook page, trademarked the product and says he discovered it, but that was all done in March 2012.  We all know that Itac has been around for a much longer time and that Peter was the guy.  So I really have no idea what all happened.  I don't know if Peter and this guy were business partners and the partnership went south or what.

    According to this Itac joined facebook in 2012: http://www.facebook.com/ITac2PoleDanceGrip\

    However they were around much before that and had a street pole competition in 2011 : https://www.studioveena.com/forums/view/4ef0e5a0-3524-4690-83c8-31d30ac37250

    So, yeah, um, I did nothing this past weekend but watch the stuff for days 2 & 3.  Plan on doing day 3 when I get home from Zumba tonight.  I will already be warm so I will skip the basic warm up.

    You should have no problem with your ceiling.

    Leggings and a shirt that is not loose and preferably one that covers your apper arms.  I usually wear tight capris.  Silk burns are nothing to laugh at.

    I heard through the grapvine that there has been some drama over on the itac homefront.  It sounds as if this stuff has become more like the bowling grip than the originaly itac.

    I want to say that the T might be a Becca Butcher hold for doing flag (although she calls it a T wrap)

    He can start off just wearing gym shorts.  While I have seen quite a few guys able to wear jeans on the pole it is mainly because they are effing incredible (can you say jade in jeans? ugh!)

    I just looked at your photos…I notice that most of your pics show you with your left leg forward in your splits; how is your right leg forward splits?  I know you look super flexy but you also look like you have a shorter waist (which is a killer for allegra).  If you have hyper flexibility on your left that may be the reason you can do this move on one side and not the other (I assume that when you say :from your right" you mean that you are going  up with the pole on your right and then hooking the left leg).

    acd3k and Madame, a little back story.

     

    Every few months there are new members that come on here and start off asking relatively normal questions and then start going into how XPoles are not *real* brass, how you can get lead poisoning from the chrome poles, how PS are superior because they are made in the USA, and several other tactics.  Typically these new members with no pictures and the threads turn into what is referred to as trolling.  As soon as the words *real brass* were used that triggered in me (and I am sure many others that have been here and gone through this over the years) a response of "oh, please, not again".  I apologize if I came off as harsh and quite the B**ch but there was a method to my madness. I hope that the two of you stick around and see how incredible this forum is.

    There are a couple things at play with stainless.  First is the composition as there will be different alloy percentages.  Second would be how the steel is actually cured/cooled as this will affect the crystal structure and porosity.  Last will be finish.  I can honestly say I have been on both highly polished and matte finish SS and the mirror finish is by far superior.  I had just recently linked a pubmed study but if I recall it was a study on the difference between brushed and smooth brass.  There was a pretty good discussion regarding finishes I think in Lyme's thread about her new brass pole (crap, not there…now I have to go search).  AZnyway, the crux of the study was that brushed brass was superior when hands were wet or soapy, polished brass was best when hand were dry.

     

    I had made this anology…pull out a quarter and a nickel and then slide your finger over the end of it.  It will be much easier to move over the ridged surface than the smooth.

     

    I REMEMBER….(I think)….Possibly the thread about making a pole that was swirled different materials!

    I only got condescending when I was greeted with attitude myself.  Look at my very first post in this thread.

    My understanding is that XPole is not solid brass because it is too weak of a material.  Even Pole Danzer has a dual tube design.  In order for the XJoint to work properly it has to be able to expand and the thin walls of the tubing are not strong enough to withstand the outward force that is needed.  It is also my understanding that it is a double wall technology, not a "coating".

     

    If you do not think that brass can snap in half, think again.

    Comps just depend on who is doing the rigging.  And what may be standard in the States will not be the same in other countries.  None of us even knew about 38mm brass until Bobbi's got really popular.  I have been to strip clubs that have brass, stainless, acrylic, spin, non spin, and even painted.  I have been to numerous studios and can tell you that every single one was different.
