Im hooooping to go if im off work! I was at the last comp in Dublin (cant remember the name) and it was amazing!! Thats bad about the beginners class though! Id love to compete some time, I can just about get an aerial invert but it isnt pretty to say the least so would only be beginners by that standard, although I am poling just over a year now!
-
So should i tighten the ones at the top of my pole as ive the older version? When i retighten the bottom spinny/static screws when it happens it does stop the problem.. For a little while at least!

Hi guys thanks for the replies, its the older version of the xpert xpole, i have the x's lined up and alternate tightening them to make sure its as tight as i can get it! It just refuses to behave for me! :/
-
I think i have a space heater hiding around at my parents somewhere i might try dig that out too! Its so disheartening! At class ive no problems doing different invert tricks but cant even hold a crucifix at home! Hopefully the weather getting better too will help us all! 🙂

There is a radiator in the room, it just takes forever to heat! If i was to try climbing when it was cold i literally just slide straight down! I suppose though if i did it a few times its gotta warm up eventually! Darn the cold! Im much more of a heat lover anyway 🙂
-
Ah im only over the pond in Ireland! I do have some mighty grip to help me but again if im just too cold it feels like its making no difference! I will try what you say and just do a super big warm up and even some mid poling if needs be! Bring on the summer! Ha!

Im still fairly new to pole too, I started around October and have only recently got my invert, and I know myself its more to do with the kick than fully having the strength to get up there myself! Although I am working on it! While I still feel very beginner especially looking at aaaalll the stuff still to learn, at the same time I remember watching the girls doing the moves we are doing at the start, and thinking they were a very good intermediate! So who really knows for sure 🙂

I currently dont have one but would love one or two around! I think it helps if you can see and correct yourself as you go! I always video myself instead so I can look back and try remember to change something the next time im poling!

Im nowhere near mine even still! I’d stretch maybe two times a week, which I know isn’t alot but there’s been no improvement atall! Think I need to get serious and try it a few more times a week!
-
Ive been trying stretches once or twice a week and feel im getting NOWHERE with it! 🙁 Im still miles off the ground in any direction! Does veena have good stretch lessons on here? Im hoping to get them next week so hopefully that will give me inspiration!
-
I was the same after my first lesson and started saving straight away! I finally managed to get mine last week and im about 11 classes in now!
I always heard brilliant reviews of X-Pole and have one myself! And spinny is brilliant fun when you do go to use it so its nice to have the option between the two! -
That was a brilliant performance congrats! How long have you been poling? You look so at ease with all the moves! 🙂
-
Well done! I have classes once a week and it took me aaaages to get the pole sit! It was just too sore to do, but then one day it was do-able! Don't know what changed! ha!
Thats what I love about pole when you nail a move you've been working on there is such a sense of accomplishment! I have to stop myself from constantly telling people how im doing!
-
Wow you’re so close to getting those splits! I am miles away from mine but i’ve always really wanted to get them so i think ill give this a try! 🙂
-
I think I might just be panicing a bit too much with it, I just saw a video on YouTube and they had the exact same gap and it was fine too! Thanks for all you help though everybody! Hopefully ill get it up and be posting videos before you know it! 🙂
