    hey ladies, i am wondering if any of you have a platinum stages pole (with the fake chrome sleeve on the bottom), and if you are able to do the cartwheel mount on it?  I am thinking that i need to place both of my hands higher on the pole, in order to avoid the sleeve.  I don't feel comfortable gripping the sleeve because i'm afraid it could break.  anyway i have started practicing the half cartwheel mount, and a couple of times was able to get my foot up to the pole, but wondering if i'm making things difficult for myself by doing it this way?  any advice???  thanks!! 🙂

    wow, great!!  https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif  thanks, amy!!!  your photo is beautiful!!  i am very happy to hear/see this, since most girls have there bottom hand way down on the pole for the cartwheel.  i will post a vid when i get it. (my pole is down atm because of having to replace the floor due to water damage from rain while we were replacing our roof).  thanks again!!!  🙂
