Fast Spinning Pole Tricks
Does anyone know any pole spins that cause you to spin faster then you are already going? I saw one that looked like a scorpio, but she was in a slightly different position. When she pulled her leg in it caused her to spin really fast, then when she put her leg back out she slowed down. Does this make sense?

Absolutely. It's all in the physics of the pole. When you are on the spinning pole you can slow the spin down by extending something- and arm, a leg… anything. The further out from the pole you are the slower you will spin. If you wanna go faster you pull yourself in closer to the pole.
Remember when you were a kid on a tire swing or regular swing and you spin the rope around in one direction and let go so you start spinning in the other? When you put your legs under you, you'd go faster, but if you kick them out you spin slower. It has to do with making your surface area larger so that the force of friction on you by the air is more- making you slower.
But enough about the physics. All you need to know is that you can speed up and slow down any spin by remembering that law- the further out you are, the slower you go. To speed it up, bring it in.
