I have yet to master spin mode. I am so used to using momentum on static that when I try the same move in spin I want to puke. You BARELY need to push off and it is more of a hold while you let the pole spin you.

YAY!!! Congrats!

I hope that this is not the case as I do not like 45's…but then again I have amazon hands!!

I have kicked things too Shellectra and I think I may have broken if not badly sprained my toe a few times. Once was coming down onto my husbands weight equipment and once was just coming down poorly out of a straight edge onto my foam mats…my toe kinda curled under.
Tornado….I was trying to remember the name of that thing last night.
It took me 4-6 months before I would even try a caterpillar again after my fall!

There was a thread a little bit ago about this same thing….let me search it…….

If you order from Xpole today you will probably have it by next week! They are VERY QUICK on shipping.

On the pole sit, I have always done it from a climb and kept my climbing foot behind the pole. It was not until I had that comfortable that I took my legs off the pole. That added grip from the leg behind the pole really helped me. In this pic it is not totally behind but it gives you an idea:

I have fallen bad once. I was working on caterpillar climb and my pole was in my garage (cement floor). I FINALLY got it and was so happy (mind you I can only get 2 scootches on my pole) and tried it several times. Well lo and behold my arms fatigued just as I was releasing my legs from the pole and I fell onto my right shoulder. I have no idea how I thought so quick to turn instead of falling on my head but I did.
Recently I did not fall but burned myself pretty bad. I was working on elbow grip aysha and my bottom hand started to slip FAST. All I could think of to do was to tighten the grip on my elbow. I have a powder coated Lil Mynx and ended up with 3 blisters on my inner arm just before my inner elbow.
I always over analyze stuff now and think through what my escape would be if I ran into issues.

It kind of depends on your starting point. I no longer bruise the insides of my thighs for the most part nor my arms unless I am learning something totally new or working on a pole that is a different diameter. Took me a good 6 months to be able to caterpillar climb more than 1 scootch, then after falling out of it, took me about another 6-8 months before I would even do it again. Shoulder mount took a lot of reverse incline crunches before I could get it routinely, but it still hurt. A year later and I can do it without thinking. Knee hold took what seems forever to get and that was mainly from the pain, a good 6-8 months after before I was able to nail it each and every time. Now I also do not pole regularly…I have gone 2 months without even touching it. Typically it takes me a few months to "get" the move and another 6-8 months to perfect it.

Hate to say this but a video is about the only thing that is going to help here.

Minicoopergirl. She is an inspriation to MANY.

Also search MidwestPoleDancing on youtube. Mary Ellyn had a few instructors that are not a size 2 that ROCK the pole. Even Lo Martin from Michigan is an inspriation to me (she is in the Detroit videos). She is over 6' and not a small girl and she totally kills it.
