    It is exactly as it sounds.  When you are in the inverted position you slide you feet to your hands and then gently release them from the pole, using your abs to control bringing your legs to the ground (no THUMP).  It is easier to do this in a tucked position as extended legs + weak abs = control from shoulders = possible injury.

    From their website: 
    The Flirty Girl Fitness Pole is standard 2 inch outer diameter pole. This is what we use in our Flirty Girl Fitness studios as well.

    Aggghhhh….hit enter too quickly.  Work on inverting from your tip toes.  Your hips should be  in front of the pole, engage your arms, lift your knees to your chest, and then tilt back.  There should be no pushing off of the floor with your toes.

    If you cannot do a controlled invert and reverse invert without heels on you should not be working on this in heels.

    I will also say that I have stayed with them before and was very impressed with their accomodations. I believe there are a couple of companies that deal with temporary housing.  You may even be able to find something on Craigslist.  Lastly, look at campgrounds in the area.  Many campgrounds have cabins that are fairly nice and not too terribly expensive.

    Matt finish will not stick to the pole.  Additionally thigh hi boots are horrible to pole in.  My 2 cents.

    If it is the one I am thinking of, please, just save your money and buy a proper pole.  You are NOT ever, ever, ever, ever, ever going to find a safe pole that it under $200 new.  Period.

    This was me to a T! I am not totally afraid of heights but I have an issue with ladders. When I started going to a studio that had tall poles I still would freak out if my head was more than 3 feet off the ground. The once thing that has gotten me past it is practice. As my confidence in my moves grew my fear has decreased. Sorry…..I know that is not a huge help.

    Check out a company called Oakwood apartments. They deal in short term apartment rentals. They have locations all over the place. I would link their site but I am on my phone right now.

    LilmissRe, what kind of pole do you have now?

     

    As Corby stated, there are so many factors to take into play to be able to just come out and say this brand or that brand.

    The Roxy is not just the pose on the pole but a whole set up and then going into the spin.  In this video it is the whole move from about 38-46 seconds and incorporates the elbow back hook into the hold.

    Graphic design is supposed to use your creativity.

     

    I have been in a less than fulfulling job for the last several years however in my area the job market is horrible.  So I have stayed.  However for a short time I was teaching pole (which I enjoyed but do not kid yourself that you can make money at it).  I also performed quite a few places last year which was also enjoyable and got me into costume making and developing routines; both creative outlets for me.

    I know Aerial Amy just made a HUGE career/life change and wrote about it in her blog (although for the life of me I cannot seem to find it).

    If you look around the forum you will see that many people have this same issue and that is why they got rid of the pad.  When I got mine I never had a pad.

    They work better than the skid pad and you may find that to be true in your case also.

    I want to know how you would clean something like this (either of the two).  Anyone who has ever had a silicone phone sleeve knows how nasty they get in a short time frame.
