If you compare Shadow’s skills in 2009 to Alethea’s it is not that bizarre; Alethea only started pole dancing in 2008.

No, she is not hyper extending to this extent. It is more of a stretch/strengthening exercise to train your legs to stay straight. I have been in numerous classes that do this exact same stretch. I want to say it is more of a gymnastics or martial arts type conditioning move as my husband has also done them in his martial arts classes, just not in straddle.
If you are sitting in pike and flex your feet bring your heels just off the ground. Most people have no issue doing this. Now with your heels still off the ground point your toes. This is the part that is difficult because it is forcing you to not bend at the knee which is what we typically want to do when we point. This is all that the move is, except she has you doing it in straddle.

XPole’s manufacturing facility flooded back I think in October and they just got back to manufacturing a few weeks back.

Just like with doctors and massage therapists, there are good and bad chiropractors. I have grown up with chiropractics and currently just started going to one again due to the car accident I was just in. There are things that a massage therapist cannot fix and I refuse to be put on muscle relaxers and pain killers when I know that with the proper spinal alignment I can be fixed. I will also note that there are a TON of pole professionals who regularly go to the chiro. With the big push in alternative medicines, chiropractics has grown exponentially. Most medical coverage will also pay for visits.

The second video is of Shadow and what should be noted is that the video was posted in 2009. Shadow not only does pole but lyra and silks too. I do not know who the first video is.

Stellar!!! It seems like FOREVER since I have seen you here!

It is less a lack of flexibility as it is a lack of strength. Be sure that your knees are pointing up when you do this and not to the side. You can also work on this with your legs straight in front of you instead of straddled.

At the end of the month pole will be at The Arnold. There is a HUGE jam taking place at Infinity Aerial. There is nothing that I know that is more motivating than being around a ton of people who all love to pole! Infinity is also hosting a few workshops that weekend. You really should take advantage of this opportunity!

Pretty much every single pair of my pole shorts are boy cut underwear. I also have a few side tie and skirted bathing suit bottoms.

That looks like a variation of chopstix.

You cannot add a stage to a normal pole, it is one or the other.

I have started seeing these pop up. I know that Benjamin Cameron Hunt had taken an XPole, drilled the top of it and strung it up with wire from a lyra swivel mount. The Lady Satine (look her up on facebook) was just playing on one the other day and I know Pantera has been videoed on one.
