Do you need in person training? There are numerous people who offer Skype training (Charley I know is at least one and There is another one that I cannot think of right now that offers competition training). If you are seriously wanting to compete you need to work with someone who understands what the judges are looking for, not just someone who can take you to the next level. I would also keep my eye out for workshops that are coming near you and schedule privates that way.

She WAS impressed….listen to her in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ka_TH6_H7PA

When I was teaching I explained this as the very first move that you will learn that you will scream in pain. It helps a lot to internally rotate the legs; basically try to get your knees to touch. This littler movement will help engage not only the squeeze but also the IT band. As you progress you will learn to easily engage the proper muscles and it will lessen the skin contact as your only grip.

How tall is your ceiling? I believe that the adjustor gives you a little over 5 inches to play with. You may need the 100 mm extension if you are right in that middle region but you should be able to adjust the pole without the 125 extension to get it to fit. Notice how I say SHOULD.

So my question is why we even discussing something that really has no effect on our personal lives? I mean really, I could care less what any celebrity does or says. It has no effect on my life or the way I live it. I am only responsible for myself. I think a lot of people would be happier in life if they stopped being so concerned about the actions of others.

Have any of you watched the making of this video? They name all of the dancers and make up people and pretty much every person who was involved.
Personally I do not see what the big deal is about the video. There were 2 things that stuck out…..one, I WANT that rhinestone bra in the worst way and 2 , in the making of video one of the girls drops down into splits in the water and booty bounced (I don’t think it is in the final video). Oh, forgot, I was kinda impressed with Rhianna’s booty pop at the end. -
AG…you suck! I want that Metallica romper in the worst way!

See a doctor/chiropractor /massage therapist?

Also look up side cut out bathing suits. LOTS of options that way.

I am posting this here. Alethea did a video just for Layla.

I probably inverted 6 weeks in and proceeded to injure myself. Everybody progresses at their own rate and if you have never done any weight lifting or upper body exercises then the upper body moves are going to take time. Hell, I am close to 6 YEARS into poling and I still do not handspring!!

It is more of an ankle contact when you are wearing shoes if you are going hands free, or you need to hold on to your hooked ankle. Start with holding that hooked ankle until you find the right spot of contact.

That Danzig video was one that Alethea shot. Probably one of my favorite videos of hers.

I was close….ugh. Must.drill.in.brain.

I thought it was try3free….looking for the posts to confirm.

Glitter, I would do some stuff that could serve double duty. Definitely you need a garter belt and stockings if you do not already have them. I could also see you rocking out a girdle with matching bra.
OMG….THIS (of course, discontinued)

Do you have the opportunity to try the different finishes anywhere? And I am jealous that they offer the titanium silver there.

Watch any of the Aussie performances on their 38 brass. They have a lot of flex.

For some reason I can't. There is a bug in the system that webby knows about, however there is a new look to the forum coming soon and I am able to change it there.

I have so many ideas in my mind…..ugh!!!!

Maybe it is my age or maybe it is my attitude but seriously I keep a ton of my personal life just that, personal. I have learned the hard way of mixing my personal life with my work life and I just try not to do it any more. There is a rare occasion when I find a person that I work with that I can relate to that conversations get different. Case in point, my new job….been there going on a month and I have not mentioned pole to a single person. It is none of their business. I don't feel a need to share my personal life with people that don't matter to me….they are just acquaintances; they are not my friends.
As a side note, the ladies at work know they are getting a rise out of you so they will continue to do it. Either blow it off and eventually it will end or man up and get in their face. However you are the one who created this situation by sharing your hobby with them. As my husband always says, don't shit where you sleep.

So good to hear from you again and that you are looking to pole. You will see a lot of the same faces here and a lot of new ones. Not all of us are in it for the tricks.
As for what has changed….lets see, competitions have gotten crazier, the top polers are doing stuff I cannot even imagine in my head, many faces are gone, there seems to be some sort of big event every few months, poles have gotten skinnier, there are a lot more studios and a lot better instruction and a lot more focus on safety….I am sure there is a ton more but I am tired and cannot think.
I say grab that pole and have a few spins! If you feel like sharing, do it, if you don't then don't. But at least video yourself so that when you hit a plateau you can see how far you have come.

You may actually get a video out of me for this one!
-
You can link it but it will only be viewable to those who have permission to see it. Or you have to save the pic to your computer and upload it from there.
