Talk to Charley! She used to work in Radio. She probably would be more than happy to either do it for you or reccomend a program for it.

I have a JVC camcorder my husband and I got for Xmas one year from the IL's. Its a good camera but not what I would of choose for a camera. But then again I am the TV Production nerd and im very picky about what I like.
You could luck out, I read today that Cisco is shutting down its Flip Camera division so you know they are going to offer these cameras on the cheap to liquidate. They are very easy to use from what ive been told.

I personally havent used the lite one but ive seen it in action at Ms Tri-State. I was really impressed with them. They are done the same way as the orgin x stage, and they are sturdy. I really want to play on a lite but I dont know anyone personally so I could try it out. (perfect excuse to go to MI to see Charley??? lol)

Would you be able to sell me just the extenstions? Im thinking about getting some extensions just for whenever.
If I know someone interested in buying a pole, ill let you know.

I have a Xpole Xpert 50mm in Chrome. I love it just wish I could have a new location for it with higher ceilings.
Im 250lbs and I dont have any issues with it bowing or being nervous that its going to fall on me.

This is probably the best way to describe it :

I think its due to the pole not being further in my thighs and more at my knees.

@luvlee – everytime I hear that song all I think about is Mike Tyson from The Hangover

Ive got an AWESOME selection for music. This is just a list of the #1s from the year I was born. Like a Virgin was the #1 hit the week I was born. http://www.bobborst.com/popculture/number-one-songs-by-year/?y=1985

Im a former cheerleader which included some basic gymnastics. Cheer helped me with expression and making my moves big so even people in the back of the building could see what I was doing. It helped me push moves to look full and completed and not half assed as if I just learned it and wanted to put it in a routine quickly. I took modern, ballet, jazz and tap in HS. They really helped with pointing my toes (now I do it naturally), ballet is a great overall workout too. It also helps with being graceful when you perform. Ive never taken belly dancing but Ive wanted to try it.

Lately I have been really using counts of 8 to make my routines. I kinda follow it with the song. One part of the song, a move my just come to my mind that works really well with it. Then I just work around that spin/trick. I also make sure I dont just walk around the pole and I add some flair to it. When I freestyle I have a habit of forgetting what I want to do in it and I end up walking around until I do something.

Im curious about it as well. Ive had 2 c sections and one of them was over 11lbs at birth. Ive worked really hard up to this point to get the body I have now but I just have that pooch that ive never really been happy with. I can cover it up nicely but I just hate looking at it in clothes. Ive done photoshoots where im in bra and panties and I love the look but when I post vids of me poling. You can see all the excess skin and it just jiggles like its go no tomorrow.
Ive learned to love my body for what it is but I just want the darn pooch gone!

I have one dry foot. (only me of course!). Its gotten better over the years but its still not perfect. Ive seen a podiatrist about that issue. He gave me a foot cream where I had to put it on, wrap my foot in syran wrap and then put my socks on for overnight. It worked but im just so tired of doing it daily and not seeing any long term results. He also took a sample of my dry skin and prescribed me a med that I needed to take for a month. I never really went back so I dont know what they discovered.
My 2 things that worked for me was a ped egg and heel-tastic. Im such a sucker for informerical goods for my foot.

If you contact Xpole, they will send you the x joint release instructions. Which they do include using a broom!
I did the same thing with mine. They told me for poling I should be fine but when its time to take it down its gonna be a PITA from the joints.

I have a pretty basic one. You can find some tutorials on YT on how to use it but is a myofacial (please forgive me on spelling) massage. Basically its you against your body weight as a self massager.
I use it on very tight spots – hips, random spots on my back etc. It does wonders on my back. It will pop my back in places I cant get to myself. It also helps release the latic acid from working out.
I use mine weekly. I use it while im waiting for a game to load or watching tv.

Pink, I know how you feel. I just had my moment of self esteem issues the other day.
Im probably the most comfortable bbw you will ever meet in life. Im happy in my size but I still have my moments where I wish I was a size 2. Ive been the same size for about 2yrs and while im happy there, I would like to be smaller.
The other day at work we hired a new helper for service. Shes very pretty and cute. Shes young and has 2 kids. I was taken back b/c Im not much older than her and my body did not snap back like that after having 2 kids. Knowing she would be a girl all the guys at work would be looking at, I got discouraged. Every issue about my body from the past 26yrs (which is alot of issues – the joys of being a bigger gal your whole life) came back and flooding at once. I wanted to be her, I wanted to be the girl that made guys turn heads b/c of my looks not b/c im either getting mad at one of my kids or that im pumping gas in my pole shorts. I was depressed after that moment. I didnt want to get out bed, I didnt want to get dressed, I was sad. OMG I was crying over the fact someone was much prettier than I am!
Its been a few days and im over it. From my story take from just to learn body acceptance and if you work on it you can have it. There are things you can do to make the appearance you have it.

The perfect sound is done in editing. WMM, is a basic program and pretty user friendly. Im upgrading to imovie whem my mac arrives this week so I may have a different opinion.
Im not sure if you can get WMM on a flash drive and install it on your computer. Im not that tech savvy for that.
Once you get an editing program, you just mute your audio from your video and instert your own song!

I just got my own pole in Jan after from taking classes for almost 5 yrs. Due to spacing, it cant stay at my house. Its in my moms laundry room. I have a key to her house and anytime I want to come and pole I just come on in!
The game plan for me is to still take class once a week and what I learned in class, I work on at my at home sessions.
For me, I love the studio I go to and the girls who are both clients and instructors. Its great to get a socialization hour in for me since my schedule can get pretty crazy. My biggest issue with them is that I feel like they dont want to be helpful to any studio but them. I feel like you mention 'the enemy', they dont want anything to do with you. Ive paid alot of money to stay with them and continue classes. Ive been a big unpaid spokesperson for them and brought in lots of new client. Maybe a bit more respect would be appreciated.

Im going for my group fitness as well. The community college near me offers it as a summer course, its $405 to take the class and take the test. You may want to look into that.
Im thinking I want to do something in fitness/nutrition. I really dont see myself at my desk job for the rest of my life. I kinda see myself doing kids nutrition and fitness, but I do want to open my own studio one day.

@Dayanara – that was a great album! But I cant wait to see what you come up with.
I have to narrow it down to which song. Im leaning towards Dont Speak.
-
Thank you for this thread! ive been running into that issue as well. I have to have some one push my leg up so I can reach it!
*adds to things to stretch for tonight*

I just got a new pair thanks to HoP and I am in LOVE!!! http://store.houseofpole.net/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=711%2DChrome
They are very comfy! The ones w/o a strap I will buy a size down and rub some lotion on my feet and get my foot in. (then wash my hands right after so I can pole!) Those suckers wont go anywhere!

I gotta say youve got more balls than me. Every time I have a beef with my MIL, I just roll my eyes and walk away. I know im not going to win, and im ok with it. My husband has backed me up once. My MIL tried and bought me a pair of heels to dance in. Totally not what I would of picked out and they had no platform and they were 4 inch heels. Good club shoes, no go on the pole shoes. My husband basically told her I wouldnt be able to dance in them for those reasons. So he does pay attention. This is why I would rather get a gift card and get what I wanted in the first place, since I cant exchange the shoes b/c she bought them on ebay. Sadly my IL's dont listen to me EVER! Ok, my personal rant is over.
My pole is at my moms house. Its in the laundry room and if the door to that room is open you can see it from the front door. Actually her friends thinks it hers until she explains that its mine and shows them my YT stuff! My moms awesome and very supportive about what I do.
It all comes down to its your house, your equipment, your hobby not hers. Give her the invite to SHUT IT 2011!

Be Spun has Xpole poles. I know on X poles website it says if your looking for serious height, contact them about pricing, reccomendations etc.
I believe the company is Markstar.

I actually bought the lotion in hopes it could be a great grip aid! I worked well to slide into my shoes but not so good as a grip. Maybe putting it on a few hours earlier before pole could help too!
