thanks for these tips ladies, I will take the ACR off my routine as the days are running out before hte competition, but it is good to know for future reference.

For now I have come up with a temporary "invention" to avoid my skin feeling like it will fall off dude to too much practice: i put toilet paper and cellotape around hte sore bits on my legs, then sprayed the tape with sticky spray. Works amazingly well surprisingly, but looks really ridiculous lol

but at least my skin will feel fine by the day of the competition so that there wont be any need to look like a mummy.

lol…I grew up in a town where all the street names were named after known communist leaders… My stage name would be Fröya Mao Zedong. Maybe not exactly that appropriate for pole dancing?

I can sort of do it, but my problem is that I can't hold it for very long at all. My body weigh always seems to tilt to one side making my body fall (slowly) to the side and "around" the pole (hard to explain in words), but if anyone has any tips on how to keep the body straight let me know.
