Death Lay
-
2 other things that will help….shoulder mounting from sitting on the floor (do not use the floor to push off with your butt) and going into a SM stalll and then into a SM. SM stall is basically just getting your feet off the floor in SM grip and holding it there; once you are stalled try getting into SM.

i have a tutorial on the deathlay: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjdmWAgMlcA
My pole is top-loading, so I don´t get close to the ceiling. I also do it from a chopper, but you can see that I´m even further away.
It´s also possible from a superman, but the problem is the same as with the chopper: a bit further away.
I learned my Aerial Shoulder Mount, just by trying again and again until I had the strength. I think it´s easier from a superman, because you have a bit more momentum.
I would first learn it from the floor withour momentum, then from superman and then from other poses like Figurehead. Practicing from sitting is others suggested is also a good exercise and you can slowly place your hands higher
