I cannot access videos while I am at work, but yes, I do it as a static pose. I think in one of the videos I have from So You Think You Can Pole Dance (in my videos) I did it. Of course I cannot point you in the right direction for that either.
I have seen Steven Retchless do this quite often but he has a ridiculous abgle because of his flexibility. Also, at the end of the video I linked in this thread she does a version that is super cool.

This is a really good picture from the side. You can see where the pole is sitting on your bum more clearly.

Jamilla calls this a tail spin in her dvds (that is where I got the name)…I cannot even imagine doing this as a spin.

You are so lucky VB! That is the down side of being too grippy. I will also add that I think grip aids were being used on top of brass…maybe…..can't remember for sure.

Do you have the powder coated LM? Have you ever gotten a burn on your hand from working on spins on it? It is not much worse than that BUT if you have a bunch of people on the pole like during a jam it can over heat. But that is for any brass. It is just the thermal properties of the metal. There is a reason that cooking pans have copper bottoms and brass has a good percentage of copper in it.

Well, that was pretty easy:

This move KILLS my back. Jamilla teaches this in one of her dvds and it took me months (and many many many painful roll overs onto lady bits) to find my balance on this move. This really is the pole sitting more on your tail bone or right above your crack and then trying to find your balance. For me it is easier to get into from a release than from a sit…my butt is already very close to the position it needs to be in. My hands are also very close to my cooch in order to get the proper angles. I know I asked about this move quite some time ago…let me see if I can dig up that thread.

There are quite a few threads here regarding this and some of them get a little nasty. Speaking from experience, PS brass are very grippy and will over heat if you are doing lots of spins on them. If you plan on more static moves or working on spin mode they are good. I was in a Karol workshop and a girl ripped a huge hunk of skin off the ball of her hand, but I will also say that 2 people were working on the pole and we were doing spin after spin after spin. *For me* brass is too grippy, and I am one who started off with a pink LM. Everybody is different though and my best suggestion is to try to find a studio that might have one for you to try.

Wow, I thought I responded to this. After 3 months I would say hand and general arm strength. A one handed spin is NOT easy to do…lets not even get into things like reverse grabs! In order for my student to get used to using onely one hand I will have them practice fireman spins and one they are spinning to place that lower hand on their knee. Once they get the feel for that then I will let them start practicing getting into it with only one hand. I will not let them get there though until they can demonstrate that they can keep that arm and shoulders engaged instead of falling into "ear to shoulder".
I also love my powerball gyroscope for building grip and forearm strangth.

A few suggestions I have: try applying the super strength antiperspirants to your hands before going to bed at night. This may cause them to dry out and crack so be prepared (that is a whole other issue). There is also a procedure called iontophoresis which is bascially passing a low electrical current through water while your hands are soaking in it. I know a few bodybuilders that have done this (guys) and have had great success. For your doctor to tell you there is nothing that can be done is incorrect. You may find some help at this site (I am linking the iontophoresis info but the site is a good reference)

I wish I could remember the performance where Marlo did this. Basically it looks like you are doing a cartwheel on the pole, so if you start on one side you drop your body down straight and then pull up on the other side. Imagine a clock. Your leg is at 12:00 and your body is at 7:00. You would bring your body to 6 (Tammy) and then 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and pull yourself back up into 12:00. On an outside leg hang you would go from 7 to 8, 9, 10, 11, then 12.

OMG…and I just noticed your screen name….AWESOME!!!!
-
I was going to suggest buying the shortest extension piece on both materials but I see that X does not make a 125 brass extension. Boo. This would have been a cheap way to check out both finishes.
-
By tawny I think she meant Tammy. If you go from inside leg hang to this then you can twist your torso and climb over that hooked leg which was originally your inside leg. Does that make sense?

OK, you just made me cross my legs subconsciously……
