    Hi there..sure can …as you approach into the aysha grip ….tuck your head around the pole…so your neck is resting against it slightly . This may burn… then slide your lower ARM down for a better lock on the wrist … at this point remove your legs from pole and hook one footer ankle onto the pole as u stretch into the pose …. hope it helps … i took my vids off as people thought I was the tess off pretty wild usa tv show …. sorry …ill be back with more soon…… tess x

    Maybe not…..in looking at the photos again her elbow grip is more aysha-like. It really just looks like a variation of the rubber aysha.

    This looks similar….called the rubber Fiona:

    I remember seeing her do this in the video. I believe that she went from a CAR into a super extended bow and arrow type move. Instead of her back being to the pole she brought her side to the pole, reached down with the one hand and elbow gripped with the other.

    Similar to this but with the bottom arm extended:

    You can see from the above picture how you could easily move into Rockstar.

    Polelushes has taken down all of her videos as someone mistook her for someone in a show. I was going to e-mail her through youtube but she has not even touched that account in a month. I found her on FB so I am going to send her a message there.

    The photo was put up by polelushes. I think I am subscribed to her on my youtube channel and I recall seeing her get into this move once. I think. I cannot access youtube from work but I will try to find it later. To me it looks like she is going into a forearm/elbow iron X but her bottom arm looks more like she is coming out of an aysha variation that I cannot think of the name of. I call it the Karol aysha because she was the first one I saw doing it..

    August 31, 2010 at 8:33 pm in reply to: Critique my workout schedule please

    I am looking at how often you are doing buns of steel and it screams at me. Any body part needs a good 48 hours rest before working it again. Also most will not strength train over 3 days without a rest day. You also state that you are unable to do cardio because of an irregular heartbeat but then have Pole Fit which is high cardio listed on one of the days.

    I have no idea what these videos entail so it is difficult to "critique".

    What about events? Pantera is also coming to Cinci (not sure about the studio), Columbus (Dolphin) and Cleveland (Be) right before Detroit. BadAzz is going to be in Pittsburgh in September at OMYG (is that still considered Midwest??).

    I don’t mean to sound rude seeing as you are new and everything. This has been extensively discussed here on the forum and if you search on either "olympics" or "petition" you will see the varied views. There are also several links to blogs and articles within the discussions.

    Clean eating. Pick up the books, pick up the cookbooks, read and learn. Calorie counting is not necessary if you eat clean.

    August 27, 2010 at 10:38 am in reply to: Back pain.

    I have suffered with back and shoulder issues for the last 2+ years. This last one in my back is really beginning to annoy me as it has been over a month now. I had both going on right after Chicago and was able to get a massage therapist to work out the shoulder but my back is still an issue. Whenever I cough or sneeze it KILLS. I cannot stress enough massage. If you watch FB posts almost all of the "big names" go routinely for them.

    Many massage schools offer deep discounts on massage from students. We have 2 in the area that offer $25/hour of massage. I have also found a few great places that do deep tissue and sports therapy. Check out Craigslist also. Some may be sketchy but many are people that are doing it on the side and need extra cash. You can usually tell by the ad.

    Trust me, when you get a little older you are going to wish that you spent that $40 on a massage!

    I would work on an extended butterfly first. Split grip inverted hold are the hardest for me. There are also a couple of tutorials floating around in the aysha threads that may be of help.

    Please let me stop looking at the Karo shoes. Just found a pair of pink glitteries (but with a bad strap design)….

    I think I may have found the Jamilla shoes…not sure. They are Karo 0250

    https://www.studioveena.comhttp&#58://www.karoshoes.com/images/detailed_images/366.jpg

    Might have to ring up Sissy…..

    I can’t tell if they are glittered on top or if it is part of the plastic….

    They also have these which are kind of cool but not as glittery as I want (style 251):

    There were a pair of shoes that Jamilla DeVille wore in her James Bond routine that I fell in love with…I think she is also wearing them on the cover of the Art of Pole series. They look like they have silver glitter impregnated into the clear plastic. Not sure if they are the same ones in both instances but I WANT the ones from the Bond routine.

    Sort it out, Pleaser!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

    Most of the manufacturers will state that they do not make POLE DANCING SHOES/BOOTS. This is also how if you damage them while pole dancing they will not replace them.

    August 26, 2010 at 2:31 pm in reply to: Poll: Crash mat use?

    When I went to Be they did not have crash mats but we would fold up yoga mats under the pole if we were trying something sketchy.

    Before I got the mat that I have I used to use large pillows when trying stuff upside down.

    I HAVE fallen and it is not fun.

    Currently I have foam flooring under my pole which take up some shock but also causes issues with sticking…I have jammed my toes so many times landing it is not even funny.

    I don’t think shoe usage and mats necessarily get along. I also do not think that getting into many moves is easy with a mat in place. But I am also one who believes in not trying something until you have the strength to do it and also learning escapes. But we all push ourselves and having something there that is going to absorb some of the impact of a fall can’t hurt. I like the cushions that I got because they are on the stiffer side. Something that is too cushy just would not work for me.

    Just a little info….if you right click on any of these photos you can see their info. Typically if it is snagged from a website they will have the style name and number as part of the image name. Doing that I was able to find out that these are Pleaser Taboo style 708G.

    August 25, 2010 at 7:37 pm in reply to: Whats the difference between these boots?

    I will take some pics. They are sort of like a low ankle boot up until the front and back flaps. No matter what you do, there is going to be a 2"-ish gap right at your ankle bones that does not tighten. I had tried lacing the boots where the bow was at the top and it is very noticeable, the bow really hides it when it is on the bottom.

    I had more of an issue with these with a gap at the ankle, but if you lace them with the bows on the bottom it is not noticeable. I will measure them when I get home, but they may get larger with larger shoe sizes.

    The glitter WILL wear off and they do not stick. If you are going to climb in them I would suggest learning to hold/climb with your knees. Any material other than pvc or plastic is not going to give you grip.
