Help me find this spin pls <3
Hi guys
I haven’t been on the pole for over 10 years and I’m back to the beginning again.Anyway, I remember a spin that was taught here and I cannot for the life of me remember the name or proper grips etc that I would like to work towards again, despite it being a fairly novice spin.
And I cannot for the life of me figure out how to search for it (type in “beginner spin” and no luck).
So, it’s from standing position; one leg standing, the other cocked up, hooked in the knee pit up at hip level
…it’s like a standing V if one leg was bent holding the pole in a knee grip instead of fully extended, hands are split, one above the bent leg, one below and when you spin it’s kinda a crotch shot haha
Now I may be wrong about the hand placement, it may even be that the arm/s in an elbow pit hold.
You drop your weight forward and the lower leg sweeps around while you hope your shorts contain all your bits.
I remember being really scared to let my weight fall forwards but once I got it I was so excited.
Anyone have any idea what this could be? It’s not an advanced move, it’s probably just above a backwards hook leg spin in terms of skill, it’s the fear of falling forward into the spin that, to me, is the biggest difficulty.
I’m so sorry, this is such a bad description but this is an itch I can’t scratch trying to figure out wtf this spin is.
TIA if anyone can let me know what I’m thinking of.

I think it’s an extended leg side spin
Ugh, falling forward is awful
Thankfully I am not strong enough to try it hahahha

Yay glad you fight it out!

It’s not a front-hook spin?

No, it’s quite different. Of course now I can’t find the name of it. But you’re standing upright, you hook one leg up around hip height and have one hand below that leg, the other above. You then allow your body weight to fall forward and down (almost leading with the shoulders) which sweeps the outer leg around…
Completely different from either a forward or backwards hook spin
And it’s def not an extended leg side spin argh Im so freaking annoyed I cant find it now!

You have it in your tutorials but I cant remember it now ffs I am really stressed out that i can’t remember the name 🙁

So it’s basically a version of this
Just a slight variation is the leg placement which makes it so that you need to make sure your shorts have everything contained as your crotch is a main point of focus hahaha

Idk, your link ain’t working for me.
What you’re describing is what I learned as a variation of a Front-hook spin from Karol Helm’s Pole-a-pedia YT videos way back in 2007. There were numerous variations, my favorites being the Forward-falling spin and the Front-hook kick spin. Pretty sure Veena had them on here under a different name, but same thing.
Please forgive the poorly timed screenshots, but they involve the points of contact you mentioned. That outer leg sweeps out to bring momentum and glorious crotch-shots while falling forward. lol

There was also a transition spinning move which involved a side-climb in which you could get into a cradle spin or Superman, but I don’t believe I ever saw it used as a spin alone. It was always used as a transition because the spin required an exit strategy into something else.

This sucker, right here. Many a bruised thigh and pelvis trying to spin this into something pretty, ugh.
