I got the CKR!!
So friggin’ excited! I’ve been working on the pole sit for about a week and a half and finally feel like I have it down confidently. I’ve been playing around with it, trying to find a way to spin out of it and testing the waters with leaning back.
During my experimenting, I repositioned my legs – crossed the left over top of the right, leaned right back and BAM . . . . CKR!!! I never bothered to try my pole sit this way, as the other way (right on top) came more naturally.
Okay, so now here comes the stupid question – are you supposed to be able to do your holds and stuff with both legs, just like you are supposed to do spins with both arms? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif
I actually got it on video too – but can’t get my editing software to work well enough to fix it up and post it. On the video, as I lean back, my whole facial expression changes and my mouth is all wide open in disbelief https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

CKR=Cross Knee Release https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
Congrats! CKR is such a beautiful move!!!! I don’t think your question is stupid at all. I was wondering the same thing about CKR myself. I think it’s at least preferable. But I’ve honestly never tried it on my non-dominant side. Not sure why. Cause I can do other leg holds like gemini and cupid on both sides just fine. Guess I never thought about it..
Anyway, learning it both sides now will prevent you wishing later on you could do it both sides when you want to combine moves. So I’d firmly recommend it!
Added happy dance for getting CKR: https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_compress.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Thanks Guys (or should I say Gals) https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
I was attempting to edit last night and my husband walked past with a snide little remark of "Nice to see you have time for that shit". https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_evil.gif Jackass! Well somebody just lost out on a nakie dance that I had planned. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_twisted.gif
Nice to know I can come here and share my news, since no one here at home appreciates it. Although, I haven’t showed the kids yet and they get a kick out of my "pole tricks" https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Congrats!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
It took me forever to even try leaning back into a release because I was sure I was going to end up on my head.
I think I can do it on both sides but normally I cross left over right (because I climb with my right foot behind).
