Burning Man is on my bucket list. This sounds like a blast.

Understanding comes from reading your emails…..

JelliCrew and CreativityBySteffie, my comments were not aimed at Jelli's situation.

I seriously love the body wraps that were all over the pole convention that remond me of being tied in rope. They are called Bodybinds http://www.etsy.com/shop/bodybinds?ref=shop_sugg
Searching fetish wear or viny/pvc clothing will give you all sorts of options. There are soooooooo many options. This is a local comapny to me and they alwasy run sales: http://themissionboutique.com/
I also heard that Lovers Lane has a sale going on the entire month. I need to go look up the code but it will give you 50% off your order. Maybe Nymphdancer can help on this one.

There are a lot of moves that I cannot do either due to flexibility. When it comes to a competition it usually is not what you can't do but in executing the moves that you CAN do perfectly. I have seen girls that try to do moves that are just sloppy and it irks me to no end. Work on telling a story instead of tricking out. Place the moves you can do in line with your music choice. Try some variations of the moves you can do to make them unique….hand placement, leg placement, etc. Think about Amber's superman….just a simple positioning change with her legs and it became some thing totally different and so much more beautiful. Even Alethea's leg prance when she is on the pole is memorable.

I would also revisit how you are climbing. It is one thing to rip your foot open on a sticky pole but if you are relying a great deal on the top of your foot for grip you need to rethink how you are gripping. You should have 3 points of contact, not just the one.
And the though of PDR and bondage tape just gave me the warm fuzzies……

However I will reiterate, you cannot state over and over again that someone stole your photo when you sent it to them for use.

I am not talking editing here, I am talking artistically changed. The art is that of the artist, the photo is that of the photographer. Not that this is who we are speaking of, but many have seen the work of Miter Eme…who is the owner of his work, the person in the photographs or him?? This is quite the similar situation. As to why the person has not removed said photo after being requested to do such I cannot answer.
I am not sure if this will show here or not:

S Factor dvds also.

I want to comment on a few things here. There are quite a few people I know who have had photos lifted from ANY website, if you think that the photos here on SV are safe from being downloaded I would think again. There are programs out there that will grab a picture off a site, even when it is protected.
Second, if you send a photo to someone and ask them to change it artistically, that changed photo becomes their property. By sending the photo in the first place you granted permission to them to use it in the way intended. Please do not say that someone stole your photo when you sent it to them in the first place.
Third, Facebook is generally very good about removing users and profiles when you can prove that person has stolen your photo. It may take a day or two for it to happen, especially when things are discovered over the weekend.
We all need to keep in mind that ANYTHING that is posted on the internet can be found.

Nymph….totally forgot that you canged your name. Just be glad I did not reference you as BRSFlirt!

From experience laquer will come off on your clothes, on your hands, on pretty much everything! There are some here that have had their xpoles powder coated but I will also warn that it is easier to add grip (grip aids, mighty grip gloves) than it is to take it away!
-
They will run a steel sleeve through the inside of the pole so it is not just the tube…basically making it a double thick. The inside tubing is of a different and stronger grade metal than the pole itself.
I know there have been threads about this but for some reason I cannot seem to fnd them….

There are a ton of pics from people in NY and Vegas on scaffolding. One cool one I was was on the wires of a suspension bridge. I have a pic of me on a whale watching tour, on a vine while hiking, on a tree while zip lining. There is a pic of someone doing a superman on her husband at Pole Con and I think JungleCat has a pic of Jessalyn doing chopstix on him (she is wrapped around his torso). I also have pics of me on a rope swing while we were canoeing. I have seen people on railings for stair cases, lamp posts, street signs, trees, parking meters, tiki bar posts….the list goes on forever. Itac has done a street pole competition the last 2 years. Go to their facebook site and check out the pics. I think one of the winning entries was someone in the military poling on a military vehicle.

Nymphadora is certified and I think she went to Texas for her cert.
Here is the VSF site. http://www.vsf-sa.com/vegas_stiletto_fitness_certification.php

Watch the vids from this past years LA Pole Show. Even at 18 feet and reinforced the poles have bent in the middle from use.

Poledanzer.
X and PS make poles that will handle the height but you have to let them know it HAS to be reinforced. They both have been on here in the past and said they do not recommend anything at that height without the perm mount. PD is going to be the same. At that height it just is not safe.

As always, a call to XPole is always your best bet. I am pretty sure you can order a shorter B piece instead of getting the standard section.
-
If you cannot do it on both sides than I wonder if you are inverting correctly in the first place. You should stand with your hips in front of the pole and arms tucked tight with your hands no higher than your head. Bring your knees to your chest STILL KEEPING YOUR ARMS TUCKED TIGHT TO YOUR BODY (I have this capped because this is usually where people just let go with their arms). Lean your head back and straighten your arms trying to bring your hips to the pole….keep tucked in a ball. Once your body is in position straighten your legs. If your arms are not tucked when you go to lean back there is no more extension and you will fail.

Some really good info here:
http://poleskivvies.com/pole-dancing-clothing/2010/08/pole-dance-mats/
Also if you search crash mats on this site you will find more infor than you could imagine. I want to say the standard is 2-3 inches.

Granted that Karol is not terribly tall, but her she is on X's (both styles). They have a TON of usable pole (standard issue as I understand you can order extensions for the SSA)

If you look for MIchigan Pole Showcase you can see different people compared to the pole. I even think Veena has some older videos of her on hers outside.

Those look like they were specially made for that event. Those are fairly tall stages they are on, the poles look white and they also look like a really small diameter.
9'8" is pretty tall! Even on an original I can wear heels, invert and have room to reverse climb, and I am 5'8". The original SSA as soon as I inverted my feet were taller than the top of the pole. I think their poles are only 6 feet, so the X is almost 4 feet taller!
-
Where are you located? XPole has their lites that are only a few inches off the ground and RPole in the UK makes a freestanding pole too. Not sure of any others that make tall and freestanding.

Organic, did you get the Playsport? I have a Kodak Playsport that videos underwater and takes pictures. I have the Zx5 which takes an sd card, which I like. If you look at the videos of me playing on a rope in the river that was taken on my Kodak. Unfortunately Kodak is getting out of the camera business so these may not be easy to find. I got mine on sale for about $140.
