PS, X and Poledanzer all make reinforced poles. You have to specifically ask for this.

Most of the shipping companies have a tool on their website where you can enter your zipcode, the buyers zip code and the weight of the object and you can get shipping costs.

Oliviaaa, my response was not aimed at you.
We have yet another person trying to troll our site and stir up the masses. It was not until I read all of the other comments that this person wrote that I decided this was his/her intent.

So every single burlesque dancer is now a stripper because they go by a different name? Some of us perform at events as hired help. I sure as hell am not going to have an announcer give my real name nor have it posted on flyers that are passed out/posted/advertised. I am not doing it for any other reason than personal security. Ask some of the people who have performed and things that have happened. Hell, I get creepers on facebook that cannot even see anything about me but my profile picture (which, however is not pole related).
Please get a life and quit trolling our site.

What kind of pole are you using? I know that brass tears me up really bad STILL and I have been at this for many years. I want to say that different moves took longer than others. Pole sit was not really ever an issue for me but some times I will still get some bruising from inside leg hangs if I am doing a lot of them.
And just beacause I cannot figure this out….how in the world do you get bloody wrists from plank??

Amber Richard is 5'10" and is capable. I also have a friend who is close to 6' tall and she can do this too. This is not an easy move for ANYONE but yes being taller and thus having more weight is going to make it harder.

What kind of pole do you have?
I had mine in my garage for years and had no issues. I do know though that some of the earlier xpoles and ps poles had issues with rust. Have not seen that issue come up in quite some time though so it appears that they may have fixed the issue.

Have you considered boots?

Seeing as most platforms are an inch or two when you have a lower heel they just look like flats.

I think both Pleaser and Ellie make their shoes without the platform.

By working the negatives/reverse what I mean is get into a reverse handstand on the pole (there are lessons here). Once you are there bring your body around as if you mere just in the invert position and then slowly bring your legs off the pole and control yourself down to the ground.
Other things that may help: when you invert your arms should still be tucked to your sides; straighten them to get the tip back. If your arms are straight then your arms have no where to go to get your hips to the pole. I don't know if you go to the gym or have access to an incline bench, but reverse incline crunches are a gret way to condition the body to getting your hips over your head. Even yoga plows are a great way to condition.

If you are inverting properly you should be able to hit it every time. If you are not inverting properly then someone has taught you a bad habit and you are not at the point where you should be inverting at all. Hate to be blunt but this is the truth.
Now for me, I was also taught incorrectly. I started working the negatives and once I got that under control I never had an issue getting back up. Now I don't even think to invert and I have been like that since about 2 years in.

It is my understanding that none of the videos posted here on the site are downloadable.

Every once in a while I post on her facebook page telling her that she is still brought up in conversation and missed greatly. Don't know if you all saw my post regarding her just a few weeks back. It had a video of her performing at Apple Jelly studio back at the beginning of the year.
