Please be careful with the SI joint area. If it continues to become bothersome and doesn't seem like a sudden injury you could have what I was diagnosed with 2 years ago, ankylosing spondylitis. Causes inflammation throughout the body most notably the SI joints and spine and ribcage. I do pole still when I can and am lucky so far, but I am very careful when I pole. It may not appear that way but I am very careful and deliberate. Also be careful with physical therapists… the first time I saw one she immediately had me lie down and she just YANKED on my leg to try to get the "joint moving" and I yelled in pain. It was the dumbest thing ever. Also stationary bike will aggravate SI pain. I steer clear of PT's for this specific problem. Do backward leg raises and spend time in a pool if you can for water exercise. Again don't know your situation but don't just get an xray and think everything's ok. You may need MRI or cortisone injection, OR I HOPE you just stretched it too much and it will heal.

I haven't read the rest of teh comments, but let me tell you what happend to me with my belly button ring. Got it at age 17. The guy said to use tea tree oil instead of neosporin because the neosporin would cause "too much healing" and hole would try to close… whatever… But… after like a year it still kept getting infected and felt like it was trying to close up all the time. It would always be crusty. The skin kept getting thinner and thinner where it was pierced.. and then one ay I was at the pool with a guy I liked. He jumped in on me and ripped out the belly ring. It hurt, but not as much as I thought. The skinwas so thin by then. So after like another 8 months or something I decided to get it re-pierced. It was like all scar tissue by then. It stayed in for a few weeks and then literally just came out. The skin just grew out. Point being… anything foreign in your body you run the risk of your body rejecting it. This can happen to piercings or breast implants ( I don't have but I've heard that is a risk). So watch out with these belly rings.. it sucks mine would just not stay in … it looked really cute.

I have a sillier question… I have seen some girls wear over the knee some under the knee… what looks good and what looks dumb?

Well cross ankle release is particularly painful because you only have one point of contact. At least in superman your arm is taking some of the weight. I NEVER do cross ankle releases. I can do handstands like a pro but I refuse doing CAR or CKR….. I've tried a couple times but felt like I was moments from falling each time. There are just some tricks that are not for me. Felix, that's her thing, but I just won't do them. Like she said above, there are millions of tricks so don't feel like you HAVE to learn something. JUST SKIP IT!!

That article is weird it says lands on her head, but liver injury? I have often wondered about the hip hold stuff we do… we really are pressing our liver area on the pole and if you do a drop and land in say a jade, you really are holding all your weight right where you liver is. It can't be good. I try to stay away from these hip hold moves they just scare me
-
Whoooa k … just tried it… my question is how do you hold on far enough out to not smack your head on the pole????

I struggle with this too. I do not know how to freestyle. I was a cheerleader and gymnast so I always had set routines which I could NAIL !!! BUT…. I don't have a construct of how to freestyle anything. I asked Tracee from B&P about this recently and she does have a dance background but her advice was to "drill movement"… like make yourself move, practice moving between tricks in general even if you feel stupid just keep moving, do SOMETHING… and eventually you will feel more comfortable "flowing"….. and this is my goal this year. I'm sure I'mna look REAL DUMB most of the time but hopefully some flowy magic will happen and I'll be a better freestyler.

PP says "Shame on this web site for not promoting all companies and products Thi should be a non-bias website promoting pole, not companies."
Veena's site is whatever she wants it to be. It's her site. Not sure when she handed you the reigns. I'm not gonna read all of this thread b/c I already read the last one but what I will say is PICK YOUR BATTLES.

I had this type of persistent rash on one part of my arm. I eventually got it biopsied, like a section cut out… they came back with apocrine miliaria.. fox fordyce disease… it basically is inflammation of the sweat glands. All you can do is don't touch, don't itch, and don't shave often. Mine was in the underarm and has been significantly better since I stopped using deodorant and shave only twice a week. Ask for a biopsy don't assume it's nothing or in your head. If you're constantly annoyed by it, keep pushign for answers. good luck

pleaser is the best. I have 2 Ellie's but, the plastic around the toe is too tight and the toe part of the heel comes "up"… I don't know how to explain… like pleasers toe area is closer to the ground… ellie's toe area curves up… looks elfish…

Hi~ I think having audience vote for something like "most energetic" or "most creative" would be fine for a LIVE audience. As long as judging is fair and the real 1st, 2nd, and 3rd are announced as well. But these online voting comps are, to be frank, silly. Why would I vote for someone online, I haven't seen their routine, I wasn't there, and I don't believe competing is a popularity contest. If it were, why would we need judges at all? I also don't appreciate people spamming my wall asking for my vote on x,y,z. A private message is ok I guess, but I just don't like voting online at all. All that being said… sometimes judges are not outside 3rd parties. Sometimes they are friends with or even employers or employees of the competitors and thus judging is biased. In that situation, having the audience input would be a nice nod to those contestants who deserved to place but didn't.
