I have a much easier time with straight edge than with ayesha. I can only do an elbow hold ayesha and I am working on gettin my legs parallel to the floor. Split grip I have been working on for almost 2 years and I just cannot find my balance. It was just brought to my attention that since my legs are so long compared to my upper body that I might want to try a true grip instead of standard as it will give me more room to find a balance point. This makes perfect sense as it does not seem I can get my body far enough away from the pole in a regular grip. However I have a pinched nerve so I have not been able to try this since it was suggested.

Yeah, in Cleveland you used to be able to get it at ice cream shops and ice houses, but they do not carry it any more. Luckily the facility that makes/distributes it is close to my house.

I am sorry that you are feeling this way. I fully understand the wanting nice things as we all seem to want that, but at some point in time we need to re-evaluate our priorities. It seems that your mom in not capable of doing this and knows that she can put you on a guilt trip to get money out of you. She may also be just as bad as an alcoholic or drug user just her drug of choice is buying expensive items for herself. It is a sickness and you need to treat it as such.
This is not a situation I would want to be in.

Dry ice creates all sorts of other issues. It is also kind of expensive and not easy to find any more. I spent $16 for 10 lbs of dry ice (which really is not a lot) a few weeks ago. In order to get the best effect it should be placed in an open vat of water and then the bubbling and fog are not controllable.

This is similar to the one I have.
$30 fog maching that has a control. I think it would be cool to add a piece of tubing with holes coming off the nozzle and then string that near a wall. The remote makes it easily controllable as to when you want a spurt of fog.

ANY pole can fall, even those that have screwed in mounts. It is SOOOOOOO important to check your pole routinely. Changes in temperature can cause your floor/ceiling to shrink making a tight pole loose.
I just use the dome right now.

There is no industry standard. Generally the comp will tell you what size they are using.
It is always a good idea to get practice on different sizes.

I did not know that! I knoew they ahd started posting stuff earlier this year but there were only a few. Have not checked back in a while.

This past year was the very first time that USPDF released any videos and they only released a small few. I really wish that they would follow the rest of the competitions and allow taping. I would like to see all performances, not just the top 3. And I do not think I have seen any of the amateur ever.

I had a cheapy one too (I may still have it in my attic). They all run on the same principle it just depends on the "juice" that you buy. If it is old the glycols will break down and just kind of make things slimey.

GAH….this site does not like that sites images.

Reenie, that is the same type of move but not the thread I was thinking of. The one I remember was based on the exact same image of Anastasia.

Charley…look at the positioning of her foot. Again, the pole is on the outside of her foot, not the inside. Bow and arrow uses the pole on the inside of the foot.

It depends on the fog machine. Most use a glycol based fluid which in essence is similar to (they use glycerine and caprylyl glycol which is totally misspelled on their label). If anything it will improve your grip! The glycols are what gives the fog a sweet smell.
