I torpedoed straight down on my first serious holly drop attempt. (I was lucky, only minor shoulder ouchies). Needless to say, I shelfed that one for months after!

in that case, webbie is your best bet

have you tried updating your Flash?
it's in the downloads.
If that doesn't work, you could contact webmaster via the contact form on the bottom of the page. ('Contact us')
Good luck!!

Ok! Now I understand what your talking about! It's not exactly a half handspring though. It's going into butterfly from thigh rest, by hooking the top leg and pushing out.
I do it in this old vid at about 0:37 https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/43af1658-c390-11df-8e34-001b214581be
Although I do cradle spin, to thigh rest, to butterfly. But it's pretty much the same mechanics
And chem is right, sliding your hand down a bit is key!
You WILL get this!

Just tried it. Don't worry, your explanation made perfect sense! It feels great, I love it!
Thanks so much!

I'm not too familiar with archer and marksman. And archer points to different moves for different people, so that's a confusing one anyway.
To me, marksman is the inverted grip with the inside hand up top, arm stretched, and the outside arm bent, hand right about shoulder height. Use of legs may vary.
To me, bow and arrow is any inverted move with your back to the pole, both legs straight, one straight up, with the foot hooked, the other pointing forward, away from the pole. Many different grips/stances can be used to perform bow and arrow, including elbow, head or handstand, iguana/pencil grip, marksman grip, etc.
I'm staying clear of archer, because of the different definitions that are floating around.
Anyway, that's just my take on it. There are surely many different interpretations of these concepts out there!

Ahh, CAR and superman… Superman took a LONG time to click for me! I'm still inconsistent on my non-dom side with that. And don't get me started on CAR, lol. Dustbunny, I've taken your approach on that one, hopefully it'll be more comfortable soon! Good luck to everyone!

Me too! I've been looking for the flag button as well, but it's definitely gone.

I just started doing the stretches on http://gymnastics.about.com/od/trainingadvice/ss/centersplit.htm
I really feel my hips today from this one: http://gymnastics.about.com/od/trainingadvice/ss/centersplit_4.htm
And I'm very relieved to have stretches for straddle/center splits that don't put pressure on the inside of my knees!
Onwards and upwards, I say! (or downwards in this case, lol)

Apart from http://wikipole.org I have these two visual inventories bookmarked:
http://polefitnessassociation.com/documents/PFA_Visual_Dictionary.pdf
http://www.poledancecommunity.co.uk/syllabus.html
The top one is the one kat was referring to. The second one lists moves by level, with pics/vids to clarify. Neither have the grips catalogued separately, but at least it's a start.
