Twisted grip somersault vid
Since the vid I shared on this move the other day was a tutorial kind of thing and those are not allowed as direct uploads (sorry, I wasn't aware of that, but it makes sense now), I'll reply to you like this instead.
Some were asking if the pole is on static mode, and yes it is. I think that if something similar is going to be done on spin mode a different technique has to be used. If there is something I've learned since I started poling it is that "impossible is nothing":) lol, but be VERY careful!
And to everyone else who sent comments I just wanna say thanks!
I'll give you the YT-link instead:

Its a bummer that they took your vid down. I understand the policy, but Veena doesn't have a lesson for this. And besides, she hasn't put up a new pole lesson since I've been a member here, despite the fact that at least half of us here are advanced level. Anyway, I checked your tutorial out, and it looks amazing. I can't wait to try it.

Thank you for this. I’ve never seen this skill. It’s now added to my “must learn” list. I can’t wait til my next pole session after Christmas.

this trick looks so beautiful, I will also have to try it! Looks very impressive how you fly around your pole!
Besides, I also totally understand that it´s not allowed to upload tutorials here. I think Amy wrote a very interesting article on her blog about students who teach during a class. I think it´s the same online as in a "live class".
I hope it´s okay that I post the link, Amy? ^^

It's like a nice https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_santa.gif- present for me that you liked the move, and I do think it's quite a fun one. Thank you:)!

Thanks!! Looking forward to trying this.

Lynette- Your videos are jaw dropping! Thanks for sharing! Most of us I would assume have Youtube accounts and can Fav there so it shouldnt be an issue to still view and share. It does make sense, Veena is the teacher and is responsible for what people learn here and I know she is very careful about safety. I think its good she protects herself and others. SInce its ok to share links, it only takes a click to get to youtube to view your videos (if its a tutorial) .- which are absolutely incredible!!

Love it! Favorited!!!! Thanks so much for taking the time to make a tutorial!

I tried this tonight at home (I'm an upper intermediate/advanced poler and teach at my studio) but I had a hard time daring to just jump into it quickly! I guess I'm chicken. 🙂 I'll have to keep trying…

Thank you PaulettePoles for your kind words about my vids. Regarding Veena's policy about tutorials I'm totally fine with it and I understand what's behind it. I just hadn't read the rules and posted before thinking.
UTpoler, I wouldn't call you chicken just because you didn't dare to jump into it https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif. On the contrary I think you were brave to try! I hope I haven't underestimated the difficulty of this move too much. It's of course always easier for "the inventor" for the simple reason that she/he invents it in a way that comes natural to her/him. It may not be so difficult if you don't hesitate, but that's for sure a big "IF" in many cases. I would really recommend to practise the Roundabout until you really have it down and then, like I described in the tutorial, let the hand on the pole take more and more of the weight.
Charley, you don't have to thank me, it was just funhttps://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif!

Ohhhh LOVE it – thanks!

lynette,
Is it possible to do this in a non twisted grip? I think the twisted grip is required since you flip over, but as I am not a fan of twisted grip I thought I would ask. thanks- very nice move and video
-
Unfortunately I don't see how this could be done if not starting in a twisted grip. Like you are mentioning, the body flips around. So if it's possible to use another grip then the move will probably turn out very differently!
-
OMG THIS MOVE IS SO FREAKIN AWESOME I CANT EVEN TELL YOU!!! I LOOOOVE TWISTED GRIP ANYTHING SO I MUST TRY!!!!!!!!! THANKS
-
Whoooa k … just tried it… my question is how do you hold on far enough out to not smack your head on the pole????
-
Hi! Glad you liked the move:). I think to not hit your head you should aim for keeping some radius and I guess the ways to do that is to not grip too high up the pole and to keep quite a good momentum. I hope this makes sense..! Good luck:).
