I can't picture this from the description, but it sounds very interesting.

I am not sure, is hockey tape acceptable? If so, this page is AWESOME for some decorations and colors: http://www.tapebrothers.com/Hockey-Tapes-s/324.htm I buy almost all my tape for my regular hoops from them because they have cool patterns. The question I had: Where did you get that outdoor tripod??? So awesome!

There are professional riggers that specialize in this and can do all of that for you. Check around your state, or ask nearby aerialists who did theres. Good luck!

Thats exactly how I feel about the bent arms in the elbow/forearm stand. That has also been a bit weird because, using a "walk before you run" mentality, I figure: Elbow stand, progress to handstand. The elbow stand is soooooo hard!

I just commented on your thread before I saw this… I sold my 50 because I wanted a 45 and don't have room for more than one pole in my house. Theres some info about that on your thread. I miss my baby though, had I had room and $$ to keep it AND get a new one, I would have.

Well, as you've probably seen from some other threads, so much of this is on personal preference. I recently sold my 50 and moved to a 45 chrome xpert. I had tried the 40mm brass poles at the studio, and they were too thin for my taste, I could USE it just fine, climbs, sits, spins, whatever, I just didn't particularly LIKE it. On the 50, I definitely loved it, but where I was missing out was it was hard to grip all the way around, so I couldn't get a LOT of throttle on spins. Even doing a backbend, there have been times I was clinging with my fingertips, praying I didn't lose grip because my fingers weren't wrapping around the pole. I don't see this being a problem on my 45. It also wouldn't be a problem on a 40 had I gone with one. Good luck!

I'm not scared at all of them. I just can already do a headstand, and I can't do the other two yet. I guess maybe I should ask how much is the risk in doing it this way? Straining your neck muscles, crushing your spine, breaking your neck, worse?

I understand that, have been practicing with a wall, for both elbow and hand stands. I mean, there must be a way to do it safely like break dancers who are completely on their heads, or like Lyme Lyte's video where she was using the tripod, two hands, and the head, not two elbows and the hands to make a triangular base like Veena teaches. Or is there no way to do that safely and Lyme is just awesome?

Do you have any pictures or video of where you are now, and perhaps a comparison picture of someone being where you want to be? Have you asked a chiropracter what they think? Mine has been a life saver with both back and leg flexibility 🙂

Hrm. I can't really get my lower back curved to the front either. If I had to count from my tailbone up, I'd say it starts being able to "hunch" about 7 vertebrae up. I mean, I can tuck my pelvis, but the lower back still just gets flat. Always thought that was normal.
-
So what happens when you "touch your toes and rolllllll up" like you do with a lot of warm ups and cool downs in dance/fitness classes? Do you flat back into standing or are you able to hunch a little? What happens when you try to hunch your shoulder blades and let your arms hang down and sway side to side? Maybe its more of a mobility thing than a flexibility thing, especially if you know you have a bit more of a lower back curve than is typical….

I personally have about medium hands, my thumb will touch my fingers just barely on the 50, on the 45 I feel more secure with hand grips. Overall, I prefer the 45mm to the 50. The thigh hold is easier on the 50, but everything else (spins, lifts, etc) is nice on the 45 and I can still do the thigh holds without much adjustment. The 40 I was still able to work with just fine, but I experienced a little more bruising because of the thin diameter/extra pressure needed.
