This used to frustrate me so bad when I was first dancing because I felt like it really killed my flow since I had no idea what to do on the bottom third of the pole. I’m thinking of making a compilation video, I’ll link it when I do!

Hey tacha–I was thinking about you last post where you said you were having trouble completing your invert into the straddle. Maybe try this. Once you are in the position you said you could do– your knees to your chest your hips are in front of the pole , stop thinking about your legs. Instead think about your back. Pretend you are in a recliner and someone pulls the lever so you lean back. Keep you knees tucked. Arms bent and tight. Look at the ceiling. It's tempting to try to look at your feet. Avoid the temptation.
Think recliner on the back and look at the ceiling.
I hope this helps

I very rarely take a back hook to the floor but if I do, I usually pull myself up into a tuck then land back on my feet and come up bum first.

For some reason, yesterday I did the V-invert!!! But with extended legs, not from the tuck invert.
I think I just had my hands too high up the times I tried before. Sometimes little things make such a big difference…
Also, I managed to get up with a spin!
Thanks guys for all your support!!!
@ joscelynsmom: That would be great!

I noticed your hands were a little high. Good job identifying!
