You should read this old discussion and add yourself:
https://www.studioveena.com/forums/view/534f2546-1450-43f1-808f-22d60a9aa0eb
Plenty of over 40, over 50 and yes there are some over 60.
If you follow Veena’s 30 Day Take-off you will be amazed even before the 30 days is up. -
OK. First of all, that specific news report took only the negative side. There are people who have no problem with it but obviously their voices were not included. She did draw large enthusiastic crowds. Many people still stereotype people who are into Pole Dancing. I speak only for myself but I do not care the reason someone wants to pole dance, whether they are also a stripper or how they incorporate pole into their lives or family. I do not think a valid stereotype exists. But I love all the people who also have an interest(or obsession) with pole dancing in general.
Now Chelsea is reportedly a professional stripper and married but if you have been to Ocean City, there are plenty of people walking around dressed the same as she was when performing on the boardwalk. Some wearing even less IMO. She also was doing pole tricks & moves and not a stripper routine of any sort.
I just sent her an email asking her to come to this website. Hopefully we can see what she has to say in the first person. -
Tried to find it but couldn’t. There was a post a year or two ago I think on Facebook. A girl posted a picture of her pole and her shorts hanging from them. She had said while poling her shorts got caught in between two sections of the pole (I think it was the extension) and she had to slip off the shorts to get off the pole. It was several minutes of struggling. I do remember they were dirdy birdy shorts (with the words) as she rather not tear them because of how much they cost and her favorites. It was funny but she was getting rid of that pole because of course it could have been skin that got caught.
If anyone else remembers it or has the picture, wish you would post it on here and include her text.

A lot depends on whether you can put something down permanently or it needs to be removable. Also when you say under it, you probably want more around it? You do not want the pole resting on something that can move, unless we will get video later 🙂
If it does not rain into the garage you can use any type of carpet (otherwise outdoor carpet) but it needs to be mounted so it does not slip. Carpet Tape works well if the concrete is clean and can be taken up easily at any time. For more permanent there is spray adhesive. Have seen linoleum used which needs an adhesive. If you can mount it even more permanent there is hardwood flooring like Ava Madison used. If I get a pole in my garage that is what I am planning on using. -
Ceilings too high? Mine are too low at 8′. At some point my pole will live in the garage because of high ceilings.
Where ever your pole lives, Hope you feed and clean it regularly. -
Right now its in my Living room. Have had one in a spare bedroom and my own bedroom. The problem with my own bedroom was one night I woke up at 3:00am and had to go to the bathroom. I walked right into the pole. OUCH!!! That is when it was moved to the living room.

What time did you start?
Premixed cement is better & stronger than mixing by hand. Plus less work. I mix in the hole because I am lazy and its strong enough if mixed thoroughly.
Have to see if this starts a trend. -
What’s 1300?

That looks like a professional installation. Much better than I have done. I aim for functionality. That translates to: I do not know how to finish it that well! Make sure its fully cured before using. How long did it take?
Sure that is going to be fun to use. Who here is next to put one up? -
“Put up a block of wood”?? It must be structurally secure.

There is a lot of science in Pole Dancing. So when you can combine multiple interests its just that much more fun.
Whether the science of mounting or designing a pole which if it was that easy why are there so few good pole companies. The fitness side of pole: muscles, joint movements, flexibility, diet. The technical side of pole moves & transitions has a lot of physics involved. Even if you are not conscious of the science you are processing it.
We have to combine that with the artistic side of it too and make it all work together.
Pole Dancers do it all. -
Just a little addendum. I look at it from a safety standpoint. Really don’t want anyone to get hurt.
I know a lot of you want an easy solution. You know how important it is when mounting a pole indoors to be completely under a ceiling joist and the pole to be totally straight. Many failures because the pole was not mounted correctly. Too many injuries. There is no ceiling outdoors so all support is in the ground. The pole is acting like a long lever. If you learned in eight grade science the Greek mathematician Archimedes said “Give me a place to stand and with a lever I will move the whole world.†(Sorry for my being a science geek!) The longer the pole, the larger the lever. The higher on the pole & more body weight performing spins on the pole is pulling on that lever with more force. The dirt in the ground can loosen especially after rain or in some areas we have sinkholes that shift the ground. Without proper mounting in the ground you can pull the pole over. It might be instantaneous or it might be over time. Regardless, it can be simply that you will need to remove & remount the pole. Or as dangerous as injuring yourself where you must stop pole dancing.
What I posted in the above post is the minimum. The longer the pole or heavier you are will require a little better installation. I still go back to my post in the older discussion for most installs as the safest. When I have installed a pole outside I use at least 4-5 bags of cement. Each bag should be around $5 or less. So for five bags we are only talking about $25 in cement for safety. Cheap insurance IMO. If you want to follow my earlier safer instructions but don’t want to deal with cutting pipe, then you can use rebar (available at Home Depot or Lowes) in the same way. Its going to add significant horizontal support.
Just don’t want anyone getting hurt. HAPPY POLING! -
Microfiber products is listed on the xpole website as an authorized online store. Would an authorized store chance being caught selling fake product?
-
Found it for $199 at http://microfiberproducts.com/45shxpospxpo.html
Sounds very suspicious to me. If you google it, there are loads of pages listing it but they are all free webpages (blogspot, wordpress.com, etc.) which is usually an indicatiuon of a scam.
