You could try a few things. First steaming your pole, this will get it really clean and can be helpful if its a newer pole. If you’re pole area is cold, this will also warm up the pole nicely so you can grip it.
If you find you slip because you can’t warm up enough or have cool legs and a cool pole, try a grip aid mix I like to use during winter. Please note, this is NOT for sweaty hands for sweaty issues try using Dirty Girl Poltice.

I just call most splits on poles Pole splits variations, because there are a lot of ways to do splits on the pole 🙂

Yay!!!!!!!

Ouch! Other then just watching other and working out Choreography in your mind I don’t know what you could do right now either. Wishing you a speedy recovery!!!

Oh my, yes. Robyn is right, don’t think about letting go with the legs!! You want to maintain contact while sliding them up. I strongly suggest taking a look at the lesson for it here.

I doesn’t matter what size of anything you use 🙂 I like a longer roller because it can be used for helping stretch the middle splits if it’s longer. Here it the roller I have but you can buy a cheaper one too. Non of these items have to be too fancy. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000MVHOQA/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=giggecom-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B000MVHOQA

You can, but keep in mind it will then be all over your pole, which would then get onto your hands, possibly making them slick! Unless your legs are super dry or your pole is very cold you should be able to pole sit with out grip aids 🙂 If you can’t pole sit because of sweaty thighs, this is common, you can use the dirty girls on the body too.

Kristina, itac is not the best option for sweaty hands, it’s like a wax. Try the tite grip or Dirty girl poltice http://www.dirtygirlpoletice.com 🙂

Hi Ktazmania, it’s best to work on learning all pole moves on both sides of the body, left and right. You are not the only one who inverts on the left also the method is the same for inverting on the left as it is on the right. If your teacher allows, try working on both sides. 🙂

Oh dear! I have no advice, but I do hope you both feel better soon. Our family was hit with a flu real hard last February, and it came on fast, and we were in bed for days with a fever, took awhile to get back on my feet. Keep yourself hydrated! xoxo

I rent and have several mounts up in my place. As GG said the xpert is very convenient as far as set up goes, and you’ll not have to worry about that tiny square stage on the old PS stage. If you’re vault is 10 ft or under you can even get the SV pole this goes up and down in seconds.

Hi Abby, I responded to your email about this 🙂 Others may also have some suggestions for you. As always a photo or video is helpful when trying to help someone trouble shoot.

If you have a chance to try smaller do it! I love both the 45 and 40, the first few times I used my 40 it felt tiny, but now I can switch between the 45 and 40 and not notice much difference. I would say the going from the 50 you’re use to down to a 40 would take some getting use to though.

Firebird…That’s what I was thinking about Darcits replies!
Darcit, you made some wonderful points!
