Wow awesome! Is this in LA? I'd love to get into something like that…

hmm.. what can I do to "season" the pole? And should I get a de-humidifier?
i think my skin tends to sweat.. but it still grips ok at the studio. But not at home https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif

Yes it's true, when I first stared climbing I was bruise city! Didn't know if I would keep having these bruises forever or not. Well, I still get them.. I'm not sure if it's smaller or the same as before, or if I'm just ignoring them now lol.
I do notice however, that when I'm tired, I get more bruises very quickly! I think because the weight distribution is improper and I'm collapsing my body. But when I'm really energetic and my body is really warm and my body is not afraid to touch the pole… sometimes I'll be poling forever and doing some advance moves and won't get a SINGLE bruise! So it depends on how tired I am.. the weight distribution.. and yes, you'll learn to distribute the weight to your thighs, knees, calf, etc. So there's less bruising on the top of the foot. ex: when ur upper body gets stronger, it's very easy to just place your legs where you want.

That's weird because as a floor dancer (going out to dance and freestyling), I dance faster… I like dancing to some house music, some pop. But when I'm on the pole, I don't feel like I can do that given the strength it requires, so i'm a much slower dancer on the pole (Blue Foundation, Morcheeba, Sia, Motorcycle)

Yah, I watched that youtube video… so you have to quickly dismount/step off the pole if you do the pretzel on a stationary pole?
-
Hi,
I only found one video online where the prezel is done on a stationary pole.. and it looks like you have to dismount really quickly?? Otherwise, would you get hurt somehow w/ the twist? @chemgoddess, would you be able to send me the link of sarah teaching it on a static pole?
And w/ the rockstar spin, you have to hook your foot up much higher than you do w/ a regular fireman spin? That's what it looks like online..

It would be good if you were able to try some of poles out.. if there were a studio. Chrome is definately the slipperiest for me.. I can't hold on to it for the life of me and can't even do a simple spin on a 50mm. I love lil mynx, which is what my studio has, and I grip really well on it.. my palms and legs just stick to it just so right… I'm looking for/buying a 45mm rotator one very soon! yay!
-
Tall pole! But yes, depends on what you'd mostly be doing on it.. inverts n' tricks or lots of spinning on your toes (hardwood floor). But I would definately go for the tall pole hands down.. omg I would kill for an 11ft pole! lol..

Cool! Never done a skype pole jam before 🙂
-
@J9, what didn't u like about it? Was it the finish? Someone was telling me they thought the finish was too matte
-
I was having the same issue you were having. After debating back and forth, I decided to go with a 45mm even though my studio uses the 50mm. I figured I would practice in class w/ a 50mm and also go to their open poles.. and that would be enough of 50mm practicing for me. And for more day to day practice, I practice on a 45mm at home in order to save my joints 🙂
-
Please let us know how it is.. I was interested in it but they said the finish was matte so consequently I became uninterested.. but would like to hear some feedback..
-
I don't really know what this is.. is it only for phone or can you view it on your pc also? I downloaded some pole pocket app a while back, but it only has a few spin moves on it and that's it. Is this something different that you pay for?

Fake Bake is a really awesome tanner, always comes out with a really lovely brown almost olive color. But have any of your noticed they changed their formula like in the past 6-8 months? It used to be thick and dark, dark brown and went on really smoothly and would stick to my skin. But now it's all watery, doesn't stick to my skin, and is ORANGE! Just wondering if any of you noticed a reformulation?
