There is another one that I cannot think of at the top of my head right now.

The one biggest thing I saw is that you seemed rushed through the entire performance. You have a slow song however you are moving from trick to trick to trick….some of those could have been heald quite a bit longer. On the trick front….it also seemed like you were trying to throw every single move that you know into this perfomance. Every single move you do should be something you don't even have to think about. It is not always about the tricks but how you accentuate them. By the middle of the song I had already forgotten what you had done at the beginning because there was just too much there.

You just can't catch a break can you?
Try using a fan in your poel room aimed at you and the pole. This worked wonders for me during the summer with my powder coated pole.

The little feet can be purchased at home depot or lowes.

The only advice I can give you is to seriously look into the competition that you are entering. There have been so many people who after competing were very upset in how judging was done. Make sure that you read and agree with every part of the contract. Areas that will be judges/scored should be written.
As for "professional" that all depends on the comp. You are not considered professional in USPDF until you have placed in one of the regional or the finals. The mIdwest comp just has rules that rookies cannot invert in their routine. It does not matter if you can, you just could not during the comp.
Do some searching around the forum. There is lots of really good info on comps and what to expect.
There are so many other options of getting your name out there without competing so be sure this is something you really want to do. Showcases can be just as much fun without all of the stress.

Big toe scramble……love it!

I have seen Marlo I think do something like this but she was not straight out to the side. I have seen people do this from a shoulder mount and then passing both legs through one side as if you were going to do a flip, instead grabbing the pole with both legs. I have never seen it with the general knee hold position, more with a double knee grip.

That was a lot of fun. So jealous that you have such a fun place to work!

XPole a few years back has a rash of bad poles that were chipping and peeling. I have not heard of that problem on newer poles. I teach on X Stages that were ordered last April and we ahve not had any issues with the poles at the studio.
-
That mount looks all plastic.
And I see it as anything less than $150 (new) is a danger to your health.

The most painful for me has been knee hold.

I no longer have posket pole since my phone took a crap. There are so many videos out there that tell you to swing that outside leg to get yourself up, whether you are in front or behind the pole. If you learn this way and rely on this there is no way you will ever be able to get an aerial invert plus it is so much harder to go back and fix mistakes than it is to learn properly (and probably slower) in the first place.

This is a caontrolled invert even though she is using her calf to bring her up to the pole completely:
-
I cannot access any videos at all from work. I seem to remember Rena Ladybug stating that she used to kick a lot into her inverts so maybe if you look into some of her earlier videos on here? At least I think it was Rena.
To me kicking up is basically when you need to catch the pole with your foot and then use your foot to pull your body to the pole.
