I didn’t fall in a performance but do fall out of a static v/ split grip Ayesha and broke my collar bone. I was very very lucky to not break my neck so I understand how you feel.. It was a move id been doing for a long time.
I got back on the pole the minute I was able but was and still am very wary of that move.
I am now very aware of how high risk pole is and get scared for girls in the studio when they look shaky..

It’s like most sports but we do spend more time upside down than any other sport I think which gives the high risk of head/neck injuries..

No one would laugh at you you have nothing to be embarassed about either!! If you get up for another performance everyone will see how brave you are 🙂
We had performances yesterday and one of the girls tops came off and we all had a good laugh but she handled it well 🙂

Yes definitely!!

I have five things that will be my resolutions for next year:
– Free standing back bend into bridge
– Splits consistantly and with good form
– Deadlift into twisted grip to Static V
– Enter a competition (I have horrible stage fright)
– That blasted Iron X

Next year will be my fourth year of pole dancing 😀

That’s similar to how my pole looks and it still works fine.. It’s just how brass goes.. I have good and bad days on brass depending on humidity, my skin etc

Hi ladies!
I have a bit of a shoe obsession and have been buying pole shoes for 3 years.. My first pair was the delight 6 inch in patent black and chrome and they lasted me about 2 years before the sole split from the platform (shouldn’t have left them in the car on so many hot days)
The main reason I’ve seen the patent peel away is because people climb using the actual shoe (which is handy because it sticks) I climb with my foot rather than the shoe and have never damaged the patent section.. (I think I subconsciously protect them haha)

The platform is going to get scuffed just like normal shoes would when you wear them

All the more reason to buy more 😀

Yep nine weeks… I couldn't do anything because it didn't heal 🙁 I was so miserable the whole time

The feeling takes a while to go away you just have to make sure you get back on the horse and go back to doing the move 🙂

Broken collarbone august last year out of a split grip ayesha.. Could have been much worse.. although 9 weeks off the pole drove me mental!! I still can't convince my body its safe to and will only really do it from a handspring. I always prefered twisty grip but now it dominates as it is much more secure for me 🙂
