Hairspray works well too. May cause extra grippage.

Lesson learned: don't let people do stupid stuff on your pole!! Luckily the B pole should not be too terribly expensive.

I would never mix pole sizes for a show or competition. Typically one is in static and one is in spin. It is hard enough for people to prep on one size or another, you don't need to add more difficulty by changing sizes up on them.
As for SSA, I would never use this for a show or competition. I have quite a few issues still with the SSA but the biggest for a show would be the height of the pole. Even though the SSA will not tip all the way over I still have had one "walk" on me and that is very un-nerving, even more so for those that have never experienced it. For smaller/shorter people it may not be an issue, but me with heels on totally changes things. Don't get me wrong, I have shifted an X stage on power moves but not as routinely as I have shifted an SSA.

Webmaster just answered this question this morning. As for the bottom loading question, ALL XPoles are now bottom loading.
"Our orders ship directly from the X-Pole warehouse and are transmitted there immediately after you place your order. Typically it takes about 2 to 3 days for X-Pole to ship the pole at which point you will receive tracking information for your order.
Once it has shipped it will take between 2 and five days to arrive at your door.
@littlelindsay – Our Canadian orders actually ship from X-Poles Canadian warehouse and have the same shipping times associated with them. The difference with canadian orders is that it can take two days longer for us to get shipping informaion. Often times our Canadian friends have their poles before tracking info is available to for the pole."

I would also replace your x joint. If it spun and is the old style (more than a year old) then it will continue to spin with your new B section.
Did you roll the pole section on the ground to be sure it indeed was bent?

I don't know of many people who actually dance in 8" heels (save a few badasses like Shadow). Generally most start at 5.5 or 6" and work their way up.
All but one pair of my boots are ankle high just because my calves sweat like crazy. Ankle high ones keep them aired but knee high or higher for me are very uncomfortable. Have you ever gone roller or ice skating? How sweaty were your feet? This is pretty much what dancing in boots is going to feel like, except most skates are leather whereas most dance boots are vinyl (read, they don't breathe).

There are a few threads and videos on here. This is probably one of the most useful ones:

That post is 3 years old…I highly doubt ir.

I think she has a long list of people who have made offers on it.

I know that Charley Crystal has small feet too. Let me see if I can get her to chime in here.

I can't say that I have one "model" per se. There are so many in the pole world that I highly admire but all for different traits.
There was a thread a while back asking this and I would have to say that my post there still rings true: While I admire a lot of the performers I would not consider any of them "idols" per se. The ones I see as idols are the ones who are advancing this community and sport in ways we cannot even imagine….Veena, Charley, Wendy, Mary Ellyn, Alena, Bobbi, Tinu and I am sure there are others (not sure who is behind the LA Pole show).
Here is that thread:https://www.studioveena.com/forums/view/4d71a770-9fa0-4e25-badd-22f60ac37250

On a side note, my husband and I have gone down to The Arnold in CBus quite a few times. Part of the fun we have is looking at the different people down there. I can attest that seeing women like the pics I posted in real life is just as disturbing (at least in my eyes). It is also just a different form of body mosification. While some enjoy tatting their bodies or getting all sorts of piercings, some enjoy taking their bodies to extreme musculature. While I would love to have the dedication to have a body like say Marlo I just do not have the lifestyle or dedication to do it.

In order to look like the female bodybuilders you really have to be EXTREMELY dedicated to your diet and also get your bodyfat content down near the single digits. Female bbers do not maintain that low of BF as it interferes with so much. They will generally start cutting a few months out from a comp and that is basically the only time they really see how they have shaped the different muscles. But with bbers you know that their muscle have been shaped by steel, not by movement such as pole for the most part. Look at Jamie Eason comp and non comp. She has a very different body. Marlo, Pantera and Rafaela I think have the most muscle bound bodies out of the polers I can think of off the top of my head. I think Pantera told me she maintains at 18% BF and I know for a fact that she lifts heavy. When women drop below that percentage it starts interfering with hormonal functions and even healing.
The really bulked bbers have done injections and there is a different class for them. This is not natural in any way shape or form:

Where are you located and how much are you wiling to pay? I know that SV is still offering free shipping on XPoles.
