Have you watched any of Gravity Plays Favorites videos? If not I would highy suggest it for ideas. They almost always perform on a stage pole.

There was just a thread that popped up within the last few days about tennis elbow. It sounds like a possible case of overuse and/or not being careful about form.

I have very tight shoulder and limited flexibility in them. Forearm stands are really hard for me but I can bust out a standard head stand and a handstand with no issue. When my arms are bent I have a really hard time aligning everything.

I ended one in a double inside leg hang. What I think would be cool and a little risque is a jade bottom and a chopstix drop top. I saw Pantera do a death lay with a person as the counter weight doing chopper, however the mechanics of this are tricky due to the weight distribution. One preson either seated or in a lag hang with the other doing a shopper is also usually quite impressive and can have a pop if timed correctly.

Watch Pantera. She has probably the best iguana mount I have ever seen (I would link her videos but I cannot access them from this computer).

No headstand should ever put weight on your neck. Aerial Amy has some good lessons for doing elbow stands. If you notice in both hers and Veena's you should be able to move your head around. Practice them against a wall first. It requires a lot more core stability than you might think.

There is a video that tells you how to get slipped jionts out. Basically you need to have a long handle and bang the joint out.

This should not happen on the new style x joints. When you re-install it make sure that you tighten it as directed in the instructions.

This is a really good summation of the different grips out there and who they work for. I have never had luck with mighty grip but I know others who love it.
Thanks to Aerial Amy for this: http://aerialamy.com/blog/grip-aids/

You have unfound fears. I taught on XStages for about a year and had women over 6 foot and over 200 lbs on them with no issue.
Are you talking about the pole itself wobbling or the stage? There are feet on the legs that you can adjust plus if you pull them out you can gain better stability when you are doing power moves.

DUH….I just remember you posted it in the first post of this thread.

Which comp JB??

It depends on why you are going into pole. If you plan on competing then make the investment now for a dual pole. I am not a fan of spin mode…it still makes me want to hurl. While I will play now and again on it for the most part I have used static only for 5 years and I am happy.

I would strongly suggest that if you do not know how the different brands fit to find some place local so you can try them on. I shop all over for my shoes always looking for sales. I have a friend who has an account with Pleaser and I can get her cost if there is a pair I cannot find. I have also gotten some steals on ebay. The last pair I bought at a local boutique and they were on clearance for $35. But then again, I am a bargain hunter.

You can also try fence net, jumbo net or spaghetti leg wrap as searches.
