In 2008, I fell from a shoulder mount, too much momentum, not enough sticking. When my legs were above my hips, I lost contact and fell. Believe me, I grabbed onto that pole quick! Just nearly missed my head and grazed my spine. Shoulder mount drop. Lol. Been traumatized since.
In Jan 2011, I attempted cartwheel mount on a 45mm. The teacher was standing next to me for spotting. Suddenly I did a full rotation, lost my grip, and fell hard. Hit my right bicep and right side of my head. Yes, she did not spot me correctly nor did she even attempt to catch me. 3 weeks later I couldn’t lift my right arm past my waist. Delayed reaction but *shrug* traumatized for life.
Safe to say, I do not feel comfortable in any mount that involves momentum. Also making it harder for myself but I fell more than once and need that full control. Just this month, I finally conquered my fear and learned the shoulder mount dead lift and TG mount lift. 🙂

^ YES!!! I'm so excited!!!!! Found out there's an entire segment on POLE DANCING, the last 30 minutes on the CBS Morning Show. The last footage they did was Jenyne's pencil air walk with a mini routine… then she accidently kicked they camera. LOLLLL!!!!!
I'm the filipino girl with hair up. Had a white tank and black shorts in the beginning, then the rest of the time a Lululemon unicorn tears sports bra. There were a couple veeners there and very seldom veeners.
-
After they left, we all let loose and were so loud. Too funny!!!

Oh hahaha! I was totally wrong. Was thinking of this one:
http://www.triagedesign.co.uk/wikipole/images/thumb/2/27/Goddess.jpg/800px-Goddess.jpg
Goddess, Angel Spin, Peter Pan, Black Swan… no set name for the move you're talking about.
It's good you're learning on spin. Get a head start. 😉 Also I feel you on the commute. I drive 1 hour, then take the train in for another 20-30 min, 3 hours total there and back. Always have to take 2 classes in the city to make it worth it.
-
Oh haha! Not your auction. *blushes* Your price is cheaper. Link works now though.
eBay pics are hard to upload. Gotta screenshot, paste, crop, save, upload elsewhere, post.
-
I C&Ped the item number and it said the listing ended. But here’s the relisted auction.

^ I *think* she’s talking about that outside leg hang with knees bent and inside leg anchoring outside leg.
Congrats, Mechie! That’s really amazing for 2 months!!
I’m having the same problems with pole on spin. You do static for so long, that you’re all types of mess on spin. Lol! I might try onepink’s advice and pop some nauzene. Hahaha. When doing spinning moves, try to set your gaze on the pole.
-
@Cinara – That’s my main problem. Clasping the hands together behind me, even while just standing. I do those forward bending poses a lot in yoga and pole warmups BUT I can’t pull my arms more than 1 ft away from my butt. My palms aren’t flush together either.
I really need to look into this deep tissue massage thing. And change my ways of side sleeping.
-
Sounds like you may be anemic. Do you have heavy menstrual periods? Have you checked your blood levels? I agree with the above. Eat high-iron foods, or even take an iron pill since you're vegetarian.
And remember, child's pose! 🙂
-
I have the same problem. Tight shoulders. Just came to accept I can't do these moves, at least until I gain more shoulder flexibility… which probably won't happen in another 5 years. LOL!
Have you tried a half iguana mount? It's a half handstand, half iguana, more core. I can do that one with tight shoulders. One arm is in a handstand, the other is grabbing the pole, same iguana position (back to the pole, forward bend). Then you lift up and can hook outside, inside, or brass.
-
Better grip with hands IMO. But you learn to adapt either way. That’s what grip aids are for, right?! Lol!
I do remember my fingers pretty much touching.
Guaranteed, you will nail more moves with a 45mm. But you’ll also have a harder time using 50mm in studios or clubs.
-
Basically I can do much more on a 45mm as it’s easier due to smaller size. Whereas 50mm, I can get frustrated when I can’t do some things. All about preference! 🙂
-
Yes you have small hands, it just depends on the way you adapt to it and learn to grip it. I just measured my 50mm and it’s 6 1/4″ circumference. My small hands have a gap of 5/8″ when comfortably gripped.
When I practiced on a 45mm, yeah I was nailing cartwheel mounts and got further with TG lifts. Even felt way more secure in inversions with all kinds of grips. BUT I also practice in studios and prefer having the standard 50mm to interchange. It’s all preference really.
For spinning, it’s not really a small hands issue IMO. More about how you get into the spin. I.e. Swing your hips, which foot plants, which leg swings out, how far you rotate out from the pole. The sweat part can factor in though. Try Tite Grip 1 hour before poling.
