I'm so disapointed. I absolutly fell in love with this adorable coset http://badkittyexoticwear.com/shop/pinkblackcorset-p-1254.html but even the small would be too big.

this looks cool!

Whether a sport is late or early specialization is largely controlled by the code of points and the sport's origins. Since the optimal window of trainability for strength in females is toward the end of PHV (Peak Height Velocity – the primary growth spurt-in girls between the ages if 14 and 18) As a result my guess is that Olympic level polers would likely be between 17 and 28.
So a fifteen year old would be in the "Training to Compete" (http://www.canadiansportforlife.ca/default.aspx?PageID=1017&LangID=en) stage of Long Term Athlete Development. So you're right Cianara, but she would just be starting to specilize.
I also agree that a lot of the athletes in Pole Sport would be athletes moving on from others at first but at the same time as the sport grew you'd see more exculsive Pole Athletes who started from the beggining heading down that path.
A little off topic but are you a Trampoliner Cianara? if so GIANT props to you! I'm terrified of the trampline at my gym (it bites lol)
I think people should accept the relationship between artistic/cirque Pole Dance and Competitive Pole Sport as what it is and not be so quick to trash the other. I'm an elite level competive Vaulter, does that mean I can't apriciate and learn from the things that that the cirque bareback riders learn to do? no of course not!! in fact one of my idols is a man who spent his youth in the competitive stream and decided to make a career in the performance side of things. We just have to accept that Pole Dance and Pole Sport are sisters and love them for who they are.
These athletes are very artistic

Amplitude/active flexibility are my current battles. I've gotten advice and exercises from my gymnastics coach and my friends on the RG forum but I want to give it at least a couple of weeks to see how things work out before I pass any advice on.
Basically it's a lot of barre and trampoline work with ankle weights but yea I'll let you guys know how it's going in a couple weeks.

Runemist, Facebook's problem isn't their software; it's their developers' philosphy. Which is something along the lines of "if it dosn't break you're not progressing fast enough" IMHO that's not an exceptable philosphy for programmers working in a live system with hundreds of millions of users.
I've built social networking softwhere similar (but better if I do say so myself) to what facebook uses and we don't have the any of those issues.

nothing particularily special.
Eating a proper diet high in dark vegitables, Stretching after strength training, combinic static passive and dymnanic active stretches and using the technique of contracting and releaseing the oposite muscles while doing static stretches. PNF stretching when I had a partner to help out… The biggest things tho were correct alignment and that sort of thing to prevent getting hurt. Also that the pre-split stretches were far more important than actually stetching the splits. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVq9nL_tLbo (1:14 – 1:35 in this video)

just be warey of gimick flexibility training programmes that promise unrealisticly fast results. Flex training takes time. Even for someone who is naturally flexibile.

thats what I was talking about earlier about late vs. early specialzation sports. Say a fifteen year old sees herself as the next Felix – at this point in her life she is not going to train exclusivly in Pole Dance Sport – she will do Pole, Gymnastics, Ballet, Acro, soccer, track and feild. But she won't drop the other sports untill she is in her twenties preparing to go to worlds and the olympics in the next few years.
Artistic sport at the elite level is still artistic. How artistic it is depends entirely on how important artistry is in the scoreing. In artistic gymnastics you aren't really rewared that much for artistry which is why you see such "sterile" routeins. if our rules make those things important than we will see them.

I guess it's just a matter of taste. Personally I am only interested in sport. I want to see performance, composition, execution and difficulty, blended together in a flawless, elegant way that makes you forget that what your watching is a competition rather than a natural phonomoneon. There is nothing boring about crisp, flawless elegance.
Thats one thing that Felix Cane(pre zumanity), Megan Benjamin, Evgenia Kanaeva and Nastia Liuken all have in common – an etherial quality that has world-champion writting all over it.
-
haha I wouldn't really call it a stretch programme. I've just worked with a lot of very knowlageable people over the years.

I hope you didn't think that I was complaining about the sensuallity – what I have a hard time digesting is the sensationalizim – I think compeititon should be about who can do bigger skills and cleaner routeins not about who can take their clothes off the best. My all time favortite routein is Felix's Guns and Roses one from worlds 2009. I just wish it were a little more subtle….more godess less street corner if you catch my drift. But I agree – what rec folks do in their living rooms has nothing to do with what the elite atthletes do at interntional compeitions.
Something like a website that's a one-time thing with a little maintence here and there I can handel.
'sides it would be fun. But I don't think being involved on a deeper level would be a good idea considering I don't compete nor can I see myself being at that level any time soon….Aerial – Rhythmic Gymnastics belive it or not came from one woman who danced with scarves to entertain men – now she did it wearing clothes – but the sport has done everything it can to forget that passed. that dosn't mean there aren't still women who dance with scarves out there….they just can't call themselves Rythmic Gymnasts.

persoanlly I can't see Pole Sport ever becoming an early specialzation sport like women's artistic gymnastics becuse the strength and complexity components. I think it will most likely remain a late development sport like Equestrian Vaulting or Men's gymnastics where the bulk of the elite level competitors are in their 20s. Even in RG those at the olympics are in the 17 – 26 range. I don't really see any reason what younger athletes could not train in it though. And I have felt for a long time the at slutty side of pole dance needs to go. Now that's not to say a routein can't have a certian aspect of sensuality to it. Look at the woman who was silver at Worlds this year. I think there was something really beautiful and sexy about her tango routeine…but it was subtle and that's what made it sexy rather than skanky.
Empyrean. Don't worry about it if I knew who to get in touch with I would volonteer my time but I don't so…yea…(That kind of thing is what I do for a living – I especially like building sites for things I am interested in. I'm actually finishing the last touches on the new look for our vaulting NF's website today.)
I have a question, are the international rules going to be made public like the FEI and FIG have done? becuse I feel that that gives the IF a certian appearance of accountability (that is 100% personal opionion tho)
I really wish I could be more involved. This is such a pivotal and exciting time for our sport but with everything I'm already involved with in the Vaulting world there just isn't any room left on my plate.
