Anyone know what this is?
Hey everyone! I was working on some new tricks tonight, and one of the girls I work with came up to me and asked me if I could do this move, and explained it to me. At first I thought she ment a knee hold, nope that was wrong. Did a genie, nope thats not it either, a marly, nope still wrong, daredevil, wrong again. So finally I got down on the floor next to the pole and told her to put my legs where they needed to be sense I wasn't getting her explination. And started working on it for a good 30min before my knees hurt to much to keep going.
It seems like its kind of an advanced knee hold. (you hit the same general spots on your knees for it and it is no handed. But your knees are so close to each other that they are almost touching. (about a hands width apart)
I managed to actually get into the position and hands off the pole, just havent been able to straighten out my torso just yet.
But has anyone seen this, heard of it, can do this, anything? Or is this something this woman dreamed up in her head for me to try and do?

I have seen Marlo I think do something like this but she was not straight out to the side. I have seen people do this from a shoulder mount and then passing both legs through one side as if you were going to do a flip, instead grabbing the pole with both legs. I have never seen it with the general knee hold position, more with a double knee grip.

Is it what wikipole calls a double brass monkey?

Not quite a double brass monkey, knees are close enough but the legs are in the wrong position, bottom knee would have to be pressing against the pole and instead of hanging down your straight out.
