Got one of my dream moves!
-
Congrats!!! It looks great! How exciting for you. I'm sure you'll master the elbow grip at some point – I can do a fairly decent elbow grip but can't do the forearm! I tried the other day and fell right out of it!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif It seems so much harder than the elbow grip to me. It's weird how we're opposite!
-
Wow isn't it funny!! I feel with the forearm grip having both hands gripping the pole gives me safe hold of the pole and allows me to move off it and out, but in elbow grip there doesn't seem to be much 'grip' in the elbow and the lower arm takes all the weight and I just slip off… oh and I end up with MAJOR bruises on my inner upper arm LOL. I'll work on it though cos I think elbow grip looks better!!
-
WoooHOOOO !!! Congrats!! Beautiful picture!!!!
-
Lovely move, congrats!! I've just started getting the elbow-grip Aysha and Straighte-edge, but I can't do the forearm grip at all…and my body waves even on the ground are awful. *LOL* I'll keep my fingers crossed for you on the cartwheel and handspring mounts, since I'm working on them too! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

BEAUTIFUL!!! And YES we are your family so thanks for sharing one of your dreams! HUGS!
-
Yay!!! Your alignment looks great! Don't worry about the moves you don't have yet! Remember to savor these moments and be sooooo proud (as you can see we are alll very proud)!

Thanks, I wouldn't be poling without the support of this site, and all it has to offer, including all of us supporting each other! I log on every day and it motivates me 🙂
Very true Jess – I need to make the most of what I can do and remember it would be boring if I could do every trick right now, cos there would be no dream moves or anything to aim for! So having challenges and tricks I can't do yet should be a positive, thanks for putting my mind back on track 🙂
-
I can do this in an elbow grip now, and I find it easier than forearm grip, go figure! lol. As soon as I caterpillar up I feel heavy in this position, so I quickly then hook the elbow around and push out and as soon as my legs are off I feel more lighter and comfortable than I did in caterpillar, odd!!
Another version but facing a bit differently
-
I got another exciting move today!! TG Aysha!! I can hold it for ages, way longer than elbow grip, and my body is so still it's scary lol. Hubby was able to get lots of pics in a row and he said are you ok or frozen lol! I get into it from an invert, no way I'm jumping or jerking into a "TG" move
-
Looks good on you, Girl!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

This morning when I woke up and checked Facebook updates I saw your photos and thought omg!!! I am so trying that! So there you go I did, hehe. I did a straight edge too but hubby got a dodgy pic, I'll try for a better one next time hehe
-
Beautiful! Doesn't it feel good when you "get" it…love that. I just keep doing that move over and over once it "clicks". I may take you up on the blacking out the background…looks sweet https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Thanks Jen! You can send it to me at mailto:shellectra@gmail.com if you like 🙂

Shellectra- you are an absolute inspiration! They are amazing moves! Only ever having 8 lessons in a studio I’m also relying on this awesome site. Although I’m only new to this, I have found it so helpful! Keep up the good work, you really make my day knowing what you have achieved on your own from home. It gives me hope LOL!! 🙂
Ps. I might take you up on that black out photo too if you aren’t too swamped with them! I just have to get one worthy first!! 😉 -
If I could get teh kamikaze I'd be satisfied.
