titanic trouble
so the titanic has been a long time pole goal of mine and i still haven’t gotten it! i feel like i am doing everything right, but it still eludes me. someone pointed out that it may because i have really skinny legs. do you need a little extra thigh to be able to grip the pole? if anyone has any tips i would appreciate it!

I bet Veena has a tutorial. That said, you need to cross your legs very strongly with your legs rotating inwards, as if you needed to use the restroom, and you must keep your pelvis from coming forwards even as you arch your back. I’ve seen people with very skinny legs do the Titanic move, but a thicker pole may be easier so perhaps try out a thicker one. Also, it’s easier to do if you have a flexible back because it makes the balance easier.

Can you post a vid? We can try and trouble shoot better if we can see. It’s a hit and miss move for me. When successful, the following things occur
1. I have entered via Gemini – superman and my superman starts off at an angle, with legs pointing down, not parallel to floor.
2. I never ever break the superman lock between my thighs, which are internally rotated, as if knees are trying to kiss. If I break the lock and try to readjust, I can’t stay on pole.
3. Scissoring and squeezing my thighs I feel for the pole with my front foot and push the pole back hard as if I was trying to kick it behind me.
4. Meanwhile I have the pole hooked in an elbow and I lift my breastbone up high to the sky, tipping back my head as a counter weight to falling forward and leaning my neck against the pole.
5. I REALLY arch UP as well as back and have my raised arms up and back whilst squeezing pole with legs and pushing back with foot to stop myself toppling forward. I imagine I am balancing on a fence post that’s tipping forwards and I have to lean back to stay on.
6. Finally, I need bum showing – I can’t hold this on spin in modest shorts.
Hope that helps. Good luck!
