    I am still curious as to why no one is mentioning the fact that there were so many entries past the deadline? Everyone had months to submit. People want professionally run events, yet they cant follow simple rules and submit before the deadline? This is not a rinky dink competition held at a strip club. It is a serious competition that JENYNE BUTTERFLY, ALETHEA AUSTIN,  & NATASHA WANG have won! 

    Again, all this drama wouldnt be happening if people had respected the rules of the USPDF submission process. People can blame USPDF all they want, but its the unprofessionalism of the applicants that caused this mess. 

    ***My opinion has nothing to do with the worthiness of the applicants. It merely has to do with respect and professionalism. Sorry if it sounds harsh.

    People are being so hypocritcial. They are crying about fairness, well, why did so many submit past the deadline? They arent respecting the rules, or other entrants. 

    If the pole community wants fair competitions, they need to be respectful of the deadlines as well, and not put the organizers in this situation. If the entrants respected the deadline, there would be no issue right now.

    I am wondering why soooo many people submitted past the deadline? Do they not respect the rules or fellow entrants? Everyone needs to take responsibility for their actions. Uspdf should stick to their guns and make no exceptions, and the polers should respect the deadline. Everyone had months to submit. Why people wait till the very last second is strange to me…both parties are wrong!!

    I never do twisted from the floor. I was learning it for a while, and kept aggravating my shoulder, so i stopped. A lot of the new moves people are coming up with are not attractive, they are just super hard. If you arent going to be competing in a super serious competition, its sooo not worth it. These injuries can affect you for life! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif

    I prefer the 45mm. I have tried out Platinum Stages new 38mm pole, and it felt soooo small. I felt like i had to grip so much harder, and my fingers were overlapping around the pole.

    I recently started drinking hemp protein which is easy to digest and tastes pretty good. I mix it with rice milk, spinach, kale, chia seeds, berries, wheat grass powder and sometimes a banana if I really need the sugar. It has been giving me a lot of energy!

    I have both sets, and Jamilla's are probably better for your first set. Felix's seem like they are meant for a more experienced beginner, looking to clean up their moves.

    March 7, 2012 at 10:25 am in reply to: Mixed level class?

    When i teach multi level classes, everyone will work on a spin for example, but at their level. So if it is a brand new student, maybe a fireman. Intermediate-body spiral. Advanced- one handed spin. Same thing with climbs. Everyone will work on a climb, but a climb that is suited to their level.

    I actually learned the shoulder mount coming DOWN the pole, from a crucifix. I really liked this method because i was able to learn what it feels like to balance in this position in a V/straddle, and it hurt way less!
