https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumleft.gif Me likey.
I did a video comparing my old Electra Pole to my X-Pole and had it on YouTube. I removed it from YouTube and my computer died before I had a chance to re-upload it here https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif I’ll double check and see if it got transferred to the external with my other files, but I’m not sure if it did… I’ll put it up if I still have it.

Do you deliver to Norway? The only thing they have in the shops here are the peek-a-boo ones, and I’m having trouble finding anyone that ships to Norway without it costing five times more than the pole itself :S

hi minimarie!
it would be ridiculous to have an x-pole shipped from the u.s., besides the huge shipping cost you´d probably also have to pay import tax which is usually high.
try these european sites : http://www.verticalfitness.co.uk/ or http://www.x-pole.co.uk/
they´ll ship to anywhere in europe. and the shipping costs are reasonable. and you can be sure they´re authentic x-poles. oh and the vertical dance site offers a free week of online lessons as a bonus…
or maybe they can even inform you if there are any x-pole representatives in norway.
good luck!

From what I have seen of it…the quality is that of an electra, peek a boo and my little sexy poles. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif So be careful while using it. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_colors.gif

"my sexy little pole" Is not a great pole either. It is really flexy and ruins the ceiling where you mount it. It says it can handle up to 200 pounds when bolted in, but I would NOT try that. I paid 180 ish for it and after two weeks, I went and got a lil mynx rotator. I’m a beginner and after a couple of weeks I found this pole to be really unstable and wobbly. Um just wanted to add my little penny to the conversation.. I wish I had read this FIRST before I shelled out almost 200 bucks for a really crap pole and I should have just go the 300 dollar mynx. With that money I could’ve afforded a really nice X-Pole. Live and learn penny!

Hi,

I’ve a choice to buy between X-Pole and Lil Mynx, so I’m not sure which one to get.
Any advice in terms of price, usage and assemble?
(I’ve read a lot on how to assemble & disassemble X-Pole, but I don’t find much about this on Lil Mynx?)

Tks

xpole or platinum stages? anybody do any comparisons?There are several poles that are good, X-Pole isn’t the only one! Sorry, I own a PS Multi-Piece Super Pole so I’m always defending it… everyone owns an X-Pole here. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

Platinum Stages has removable and permanent poles. Their removable ones are stainless steel so they are not as grippy at first and cost a little more than the X-Pole. I like my pole but you’ll be happy with either the X or the PS.

I had that pole and it was a piece of crap. I tried one spin on it and took it down. Waste of money. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif

Is the Topco Dancer Pole similar to the Carmen Electra and Peek-a-boo pole, meaning being one to avoid?
