I can’t speak for the finish but if you are getting a second pole I would strongly suggest you get a different diameter. 50mm’s are great for “painful” tricks (shoulder mount, knee hold, etc.) but smaller poles are WAY better for pretty much everything that involves hand grip (spins, handsprings, etc.). I own a 50mm steel pole and if I were to buy second pole (which I am strongly considering) I would get a 40mm or a 38mm.

Hmmm, free shipping to Canada… I am currently (strongly) considering a tiny (40mm) pole. I am a big fan of PS but they don’t have a tiny multi piece yet AND a one piece would still be 120$ more than what you are offering on your site. So my question is “Is free shipping really free?” Will I have to pay 100$ in Duties and taxes once it gets here?

I’m in! I sprained my wrist a few months ago and lost alot of strength. So my main goal will be to get my wrist (and body) back to where it was. Maybe even nail a TG or SM deadlift.
Goal #2 I want to be able to grab my foot over my head. I feel like it’s something I should be able to do and it’s frustrating as hell that I can’t!
Goal #3 Splits all ways. I need to square my fronts and get the last few inches of my middles. (and by “few inches” I mean a foot :-/ I just want to be able to fake a middle split convincingly)
Goal #4 Insert hippie dippy “Eat, Pray, Love” crap here

The case I have is 3+ years old and is definitely not cardboard. I would suggest calling PS and asking them about anything you are unsure of. They have always been more than happy to answer any questions I’ve had.

Acetone is the best cleaner I have found for it… Other than that, have lots of pole parties so other people can do the work for you 😉

Oh and Yes, you can make your PS pole top or bottom loading depending on your preferance.

The case for the PS is like a large metal briefcase. It’s got foam inside to fit all of the pieces and has wheels on the bottom so you don’t have to carry it. It also has combination locks. If you are going to be traveling ALOT or if you plan on taking it on a plane/train/boat/bus/horse drawn carriage/etc., it’s probably worth it.
As for the finish, stainless is slippery as hell when it’s new. The more you use it the grippier it gets, so if you are willing to “break it in” it ends up being a really great finish to work on. -
My 48 year old dad has been doing Insanity for about a year now. If he can get through it so can you. Its not called Insanity cause its easy!

There is a banner at the top of the shoebuy home page right now. The code is “spring”. You can also sign up for their emails and they will send you codes… Or just google “shoebuy.com coupon codes”.

Shoebuy.com has a HUGE selection of pleaser shoes, free shipping (in the US) and returns. Plus they always have promotions (right now it’s 20% off) I just ordered 2 pairs this morning they only cost 40$ each. That’s the cheapest I have ever seen them ANYWHERE. I actually found they fit a bit big though. I am a large size 9 and I have a pair of 8’s and 3 9’s the 8’s are squishy but wearable and the 9’s fit perfect.

I was actually quite shocked (and a bit disappointed) by the timing and tenor of this video. I am in no way emotionally involved in this debate and unfortunately, my first impression of this video was “infomercial”.

You do need to keep your body a bit closer to the pole for this move (depending on your strength level). I would start by getting comfortable in an elbow grip candlestick (or straight edge) From there you would push your hips forward a bit as you drop your legs back (towards your head). And I have seen girls “roll” out of this move (not fun). You have to have a STRONG back bend to perform this move.

LadyJean dances to it too.

No one has to like everything. If you have a preference you should be able to voice it… No matter which pole you are partial to. Pole Manufacturers seem to be a divisive point in the pole community, its one or the other. I don’t think PS vs. Xpole is our biggest concern as a community.
Focus people!!! There are still people out there that think we are all strippers (not that that’s a bad thing) -
Any chance of a 38mm brass multi piece super pole coming out soon?
