I think the handstand thing you mentioned Taylor is the half bow and arrow.

What is the pencil spin? Is it just what it sounds like – you hold on the pole about shoulder height, and spin round with your legs dangling in straight line, parallel to the pole?

If so – I do that combo into the pole sit too – except I split my legs like a starfish – I think it looks prettier https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

I also like to do that move into the Fireman, too, the one where you grab the pole between your knees aka Lollipop to some people I think. And then from that into Pike (which is sitting on the pole, with straight legs, and spinning round). And then from THAT into Scissors — if you have any spin left haha!
