Hi and welcome! How long have you been poling? Can you do a shoulder dismount? I find the the opposite/negative movement can be a great conditioning for any trick.

They were going after the bachelorete crowd as the legit studios in town do not allow alcohol for their parties. Plus this is a college town.

They have been open for maybe close to 2 years now? That is if they’re still open. They are in a high rent district and are more of a party bar. Their big thing if I remember correctly were their candy flavored shots. Needles to say, you know they don’t have insurance.

Is this the one in Columbus? If it is then no no no no no no. They are attached to a bar….need I say more?

What diameter is this? My cover drops to the bottom of the pole and then lifts and screws into place. Have you loosened the 3 hex screws that are probably hidden under the cover? That is the only way that I know to lengthen and shorten the threaded section.

Ugh, typos….you get the gist

There are 2 bearings on the pole, one in the dome and one in the base; I would suspect thatvone of them is seized. And easy way to check is to spin them when the pole is down….they should rotate without issue. You vanity hitting it withal little 3-in-1 oil or a light machine oil (razors and sewing machine type oil) and see if that helps. if not you may need to replace the bearing.
-
If you look at where the fleshy part of the thumb and side of hand meet there is an indentation….the pole should sit between that and run down to your middle finger.
-
The problem with split grip and the bottom hand is that people want to actually grip with that hand when all it should be doing is pushing your body away from the pole. the entire grip is from that top arm. If you cannot do a one handed fireman or a proper chair spin then split grips should not be done.

MemberJanuary 2, 2014 at 6:47 pm in reply to: Tricks on X-Stages/Stand Alone Platinum StagesI will also add that the PS pole height is only 6′ whereas the X you need at least 9 foot (maybe higher) ceilings or you need to order a shorter extension. Stages are no more or less safe than standard poles. Floorwork however is pretty much out of the question on a stage (not totally, but not easy).

As for ebay, even those issues have gone away. The process takes a bit (a few weeks) but I have not gotten stiffed by a buyer or seller as I had in the past.

Both my husband and I have had our debit card compromised in the last 2 years, his just a few weeks back. The bank shut down our cards immediately and contacted us. Once we spoke to the bank they immediately put the money back into our account. I can’t tell you how many times we have had credit cards reissued by the bank because there was an internal breech. For me it is just an inconvenience. I just assume that at least once a year one of our accounts will be compromised.

MemberJanuary 1, 2014 at 1:56 pm in reply to: To use gripping aids or not to use that is the questionFirst question always……is the grip issue due to strength or due to sweaty hands?

As you already know diet is going to have to come first. How about you just concentrate on getting your body healthy again instead of worrying about weight gain? You have a man that adores you and I am sure he wants you around for a long time. You have suffered far too many injuries my friend. Heal and then plan an attack.

He sounds like my ex husband. Men like that are mental abusers of the worst kind. And what an ass……does he know you do this. Ugh……
-
Is it not extending? Are you sure you have spin mode locked out?

And before anyone thinks any differently, the comment about her arm length are her words.
-
Kori, your freakishly short arms are going to be an issue. This has shades of Allegra and the Felix split leg sit, and you struggle with both of those. There is a also a little bit of Janeiro in there.
-
I can attest that Karol is tiny all over, arms included, and she can bust this out.

MemberDecember 28, 2013 at 10:30 am in reply to: Using a video member to tell people not to poleThere are things I will debate to the end (you all know me and you have seen it) and there are some that just are not worth my time. I just cannot respond to outright stupidity from a sensational journalist as the more we respond the higher their “ratings” go.

Unless these people already pole, typically a pole party will fail. It is the same reason why women will not walk into a studio for the first time; there is still a stigma that they need to mentally get past. I would also make sure that these are people you know and trust as there can be blowback that you did not consider…..either nasty rumors or even if someone gets hurt they could try going after you for “damages”. Not trying to be a buzz kill, just giving you some things to think about.

I would say that dropping right out of it is NOT an iron X. I cannot remember what the time frame is for some competitions for holding a move but I would think that a good 3-5 seconds would be considered appropriate.
