Hey Hannah! I’m working on splits too but can’t find any splits stretches on that website. It’s a bit annoying that it doesn’t have pics to show the stretches, or am i missing something on the website?? if you know of any other sites for splits stretching let me know 🙂

I had been searching for these for a while, and in the end I bought one from my pole school when it was closing down. Got a pink pole mat for 50 euro, so I got lucky. Before that I used cushions and they were fine! Hope you find something!
-
Yeah I have a vid on here where I danced around them, including my boyfriend, although managed to *accidentally* kick him once or twice!

Yep I second poler girl, push your hips forward so your pushing your bottom thigh (i.e. the one that isnt hooking in the gemini) against the pole, while squeezing with the gemini leg. When your comfy, arch arch arch and let go if you can. If you do let go, make sure you keep your hips and torso facing upwards to keep you nicely gripped on the pole 🙂

I learned the first one in pole class recently, its very easy if you have gemini. Its even nicer if you can arch your back and let go of the hand, it them becomes like a marley variation without holding your foot 🙂

Yeah, I used to work on the TG handspring and I have stopped. It doesn't feel as intuitive as any other grip I know, and the shoulders twist in a weird way, I can definitely understand how one would be prone to injuries, I'd say I definitely hurt my shoulders doing it myself. It doesn't even look that much nicer than a usual split grip in my opinion. I would really worry about anyone being taught TG as a beginner grip!!!

Welcome Lainey. Im Audrey, I'm in Dublin so not UK but near enough! You're so lucky to have an Xstage on the way! I have an xpert and its in the lounge of my 1 bed flat I share with my boyfriend – if I can make room for it, then so can you, lol! I have to move the couch and coffee table when Im using the pole – sometimes I just leave them there and dance around them if im feeling lazy!
The forum layout has changed recently, i'm still finding it confusing but hopefully will get used to it soon!

Hey chimponaut, I guess you just added me on facebook, was gonna message you on fb and see who you are, but ive never seen you on here before! Are you vanessa? Says on fb youre in portsmouth?

Oo i LOVE no doubt. My first cd was boyzone – a different beat. An irish boyband you guys have probably never heard of. God i was in love with them when I was like 7 *swoon!*

Polefairy I can’t speak from experience but you should go! I’m sure you wont be made to do anything youre uncomfortable with. And I’ll see you there! 🙂

Well done, this is a move it took me ages to get, but its soo satisfying! Make sure you keep practising though, I kind of lost it when I didnt practise! 🙂 Enjoy!

The site looks great! Will take some getting used to but definitely worth it. Nice work 🙂

As far as I know your head CAN be touching the ground during an elbowstand, but you mustnt be putting any weight on it

Oh thats always happens to mine, I literally just have to keep trying and twiddling it a bit, it eventually comes off really easily.. which is quite annoying in itself!
