Dirty Girl Poletice is great for sweaty hands! I would have quit long ago if it wasn’t for this product.

I bought 6’×2’×2″ rectangle shaped mats at Play it Again Sports (I live in Canada, not sure if the store exists elsewear). They are not super thick but i got four of them and just double them up if I want more protection. The nice thing about them is that they fold up nicely for storage in my pole cupboard.

No ideas as to where to buy one (I live in Canada too) but you might be able to get a local manufacturing shop to custom make you one. I don’t know what else to suggest besides looking on kijiji and similar sites for a used pole and start over.
If you go the custom made route you could get it exactly as long as you want ie. if 125mm leaves you with a lot of adjuster rod sticking out but 250mm is too long 175mm or 200 mm might actually give you a little bit more useable pole! -
Hi Rune! Glad to see you’re back and doing well. Wierdly, I had been thinking about you recently.
Your getting married next month! OMG that’s so exciting, congratulations to you and your fiancee. I’m so happy for you.
Not sure if Veena had any of her 30 day programs up when you left a couple years ago but that would be a good place to start back into pole. Maybe the 30 Day take off to start with and afterwards you could try the flow or flexibility program or even the 30 days to Invert since I know that you always struggled with that.
You know you can post video on this site even if you don’t see anything you like I guarantee someone here will. Positive comments might help you see something in yourself that you didn’t see before and help feed that “high” your brain is looking for.
Hoping all continues well for you. Thanks for the update. ☺ -
@PolesandMotorcycles Hello from Ontario! *waves*
I also have sweaty hyper hydrosis hands and get frustrated easily some days when I pole. I use a chrome pole but with lots of isopropyl alcohol and grip aids! Lol. I use on my legs because I often find they are dry even though my hands are soaked. Then I wash that off my hands and apply Dirty Girl Poletice. That has been one of the best products for me. If i find that’s not quite doing it adding a little Tite Grip on top usually will work. I also have Mighty Grip gloves for those humid summer days when nothing will stop the sweat pouring out of my hands. I have tried so many different grips over the years; Mighty Grip, Dry Hands, Itac, and others but none of it works for more than a couple minutes at best (if at all). I had all but almost given up poling when I found Dirty Girl. I am currently waiting on a shipment of Girlie Grip and I will try that one too and see how it goes.
If you do purchase a differently finished pole I’d love to hear how it works for you as I’ve been curious to try brass and powder coated for the same reasons as you, chrome and stainless are slippery as F@ck! I’ve tried TG and found it no different than chrome.
Goodluck! -
I am glad to hear none of you suffered any legal consequences from defending yourselves. It makes me believe there is still justice in this world. Hopefully the man involved will learn a lesson and get help to get off the drugs. ☺

You ceiling has to have joists somewhere. That’s what holds the weight of the roof or the next floor up. Finding them can be tricky. Try asking a mechanically inclined friend if you have one. Good luck! ☺

It won’t hurt it any. The higher % you can get the better but I don’t know what’s available where you are. I use 99% or 70% when I can’t get the 99.

Sounds like a typical multi level class problem. Ask her if she would be willing/has enough interest to separate you guys by level into separate classes. Then her time won’t be so divided.

Active flexibility is what it sounds like you need. Running is great for overall lower body strength but it’s not building strength in the specific movements you want.
Try this one. Sit in your straddle with pointed toes, activate your quads to lock your legs straight. Place a yoga block, water bottle or other obstacle next to and in front of your foot. Lift the leg while maintaining straight legs and move it over the obstacle without knocking it over. Put the foot back on the floor as lightly as possible (don’t just let go of your muscles and let it drop, stay active throughout) You can use multiple items and hop the leg all the way to a pike and back. Try one leg at a time or both together for a bigger challenge! The taller the obstacle the harder it is! -
Make sure your tummy skin is exposed too! This move definitely hurts the elbows if you don’t have any other griping points. 😨

Wow. What an experience! You and your fellow dancers were brave. The laws vary by country but here in Canada you are allowed to protect yourself and your property with any “reasonable” force. He was unarmed and you 4 used no weapons other than your bodies. Even 4 on 1, he was the one who initiated it by being somewhere he wasn’t supposed to be and doing something he wasn’t supposed to do. If this happened here I think that it would be unlikely that he would be able to sue. That’s doesn’t mean it’s the same where you live but i hope so.
I hope you guys make the newspaper. I can see the headline now, “Girl power!” -
Kind of reminds me of an “illusion” (It’s a gymnast/dance move) but it’s not quite the same. The clip in the video is so fast it’s hard to tell. ☺

I have the rubberbanditz and have no issues with them slipping on my chrome poles. You could try a double wrap and see if that helps.
