Here is another. Wish it was easier to watch because she does a really cool twisty thing down the pole near 1 minute in: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmVDKhri9-w

I wanted to watch the simulcast but was not about to pay $10 to do so. Yeah, I am cheap.

You do realize that there is no such thing as 100% brass, do you not?

Try saying this:
Polytetrafluoroethylene

Just a quick note, if you buy it after a big convention (say, LA Pole show this weekend, cough cough) many times XPole has used stages that are quite a discount. They do not advertise this but it is worth asking about. I want to say the discount is substantial but I do not know the exact percentage.

Work it from a plank on the ground first. Go into plank position then raise your legs to the pole, get your grip then reach around with one arm then lift the other. This way if you do slip you are only inches from the ground. Plus it is GREAT conditioning.

Benjamin Cameron Hunt of United Pole Artists probably has the most comprehensive list that I know of and can be found here:

I would not see why not.

BTW, if you have an electric razor or sewing machine, those oils are similar to 3 in 1.
-
A light machine oil like 3 in 1 should be fine for that. On the old style X Poles and the PS poles you want an antiseize as the poles will basically fuse together over time. This is just an adjuster. Stay away from anything like WD40 or PB Blaster as a lubricant, as that is not really what they are designed for.

That is exactly what I mean. There have been all sorts of threads here regarding flexibility, getting your splits, getting a back bend but the only ones who succeed are the ones who are diligent about doing it. And no apparatus is going to get you there faster if you do not use it.
As a side, many have seen gains using resistance stretching. I know that Ottersocks (I think ) was offering skype lessons at one point. And as Veena said, she has great lessons here (biggest bang for your buck).
-
BTW, both of these styles are usually available at costume shops.

I am not exactly sure what you are greasing (is this the old style?)
What to look for is an antiseize lubricant if you are talking threads on the old style X Pole.

Basically I will pick a song first. I will narrow a selection down to maybe 5 or 6 songs and then I will listen to them over and over until one totally speaks to me. Then this becomes what I listen to over and over and over again. Some of my best choreo comes when I am doing other things like working or driving. I will see certain moves at certain points of the music. I study the song, changes in the music, timing, etc and break it into 1-2 minute pieces. I will freestyle and play with the tricks I want and have a notepad and/or video camera near by. Generally while I am working a piece the costume comes together.
This is just how I do this and what works for me.
