Rixi, I had 8 XSL where I taught. I do have a write up about the issues that I had with mine, but most were due to inexperienced people setting up and tearing down the poles. I will also add that XPole takes any issue very seriously. When people had issues with the original design of the XJoint they took it back to engineering and they now have a totally different version of it on the market. Issues that were happening 6 months ago you would be hard pressed to see now. Above all else, I can honestly say that every single issue I had they fixed for me.
ANY problem that people have needs to go back to the manufacturer. In my experience XPole, PS and LM will do whatever they can to remedy the situation. People who just complain about a product without contacting customer service are not helping the rest of us. You may have a fluke of manufacturing or there may be a genuine issue that needs to be addressed. Without allowing manufacturers to know the issues they have no idea something needs to be fixed. This is true for any product you purchase not just poles.

Took me a minute to figure out how in the world you were staying on the pole!
And I have no idea what it is either.

I really meant to say …duh! I knew that and saw the item in my mind but typed the totally wrong product. I blame fuzzy brain….

I know that Rebecca Butcher sprayed her suede pants with Pole Physics before her one performance and Karol used something called Butterfly Grip when she poled after USPDF several years back.

I have also seen David pull some stuff (jade, chopstix, pretty much anything) in pants but then David is just a freak of pole.

It is brushed stainless and it is HORRIBLE to work on! There was a strip club turned dance club here in Cleveland that had a pole like this. I am not sure why clubs put these in with the exception of lack of knowledge and cost. Please be careful on it.
And, hey! Have not seen you in some time!

I had mine done about 5 years ago and it still bleeds every once in a while. Every day it is a little crusty, but I have this same problem with my ear piercings.

I think Empy has comments in the threads regarding teaching out of your home or at other people's homes. This is an area I would tread very lightly as one mishap can bankrupt you if someone wants to be an a$$ (and if you are working out of your home you can lose it in a lawsuit). On top of that, going to a stranger's home you never know what you are going to run into. Although if you are in a small community you probably know many of the people in your town. Let's just say I have been a "safety" to a few friends who have done this (basically I had all info on the person and if she did not call me by a specified time I was to call her. If no answer you call the cops.)

Rixi, there has been a lot of discussion on this topic over the years. I know that Nymphdancer is in the process of doing this currently and I think Kobajo wrote a bit about it too.
The hardest part is going ot be having enough students to make rent/insurance/etc. I was working for a studio that had pole plus other fitness classes that just went under. Pole probably brought in about $100-150 a week and that was without paying me. We had 8 poles but only after we ran a groupon were we ever filled. Typical here in NE Ohio is 4-6 students per class. You will NOT make money on just pole classes unless you are in a highly populated area (major city).

Cannot access some of teh sites as they are blocked here at work.

I could not find any in Amsterdam. Looks like the closest would be either Rotterdam or Alkmaar. I would shoot for Rotterdam because the Cubes are well worth the trip to see and really easy access by train.

Boomloulou….does anyone know if she is still in the game? I remember that video and so many of her other ones. I can't believe it was that long ago!

UGH…there were 2 or 3 girls on her a while back that were from NL but I have not seen them on here in a while.

I am not sure how things are handled in Canada. I personally would find out what is needed to do to report this physician. This is very much like surgical instruments being closed back up inside of people, however in this case they left your original IUD in place. I just cannot see how this is even able to be done…I mean wouldn't he have known that he never removed the first one? This is just so bizzarre.
Checking fertility while you have a new IUD may be difficult but I woudl definitely have yourself checked out to be sure there are no other issues.
