what is a good transition from shoulder mount
I achieved my shoulder mount about a week and half ago (but studio has been shut down over thanksgiving) so any advice on what transition would be helpful from here,. ive already got : shoulder mount into – invert 1 and 2, scorpio, gemini, inverted crucifix, pole climb, scorpio layback. .. any advice? (remember im a "noob" and only been doing this for almost 3 months,.. so dont break me lol )

A couple things with SM…I personally would work on holding a shoulder mount V as long as possible…..get used to hanging out in that position. I would also try working on getting into a shoulder mount from the floor or working on a reverse shoulder mount, controlling that puppy all the way down. When I SM I will usually use that as a different way of getting into a caterpillar climb. Google Aerial Amy and look at her shoulder mount blog.

+1 to everything above.
If you can do a slow controlled shoulder mount, you open up a whole new world of things to do. I like to SM to caterpillar, SM to superman, SM to brass monkey, SM bounces/drops….. it seems endless. 🙂
Shoulder dismounts/reverse shoulder mounts are a GREAT way to condition, and they're hot hot hot to watch when they're all controlled and slow. Awesome, so awesome.

i love the to do a shoulder dismount into a shoulder mount planche/stag and then a sm flip. i really love that combo.
but i think the suggestion to work on your shoulder mount v is really good. it´s looks much better when you can hold the position and don´t place your legs directly on the pole.
you could also do a shoulder mount tuck or jacknife
