OMG, I just noticed that you are in Sacramento!!! I'm about three hours away. There are other veneers between you and me. We should plan a veneer pole day somewhere!!! Do you go to a studio??
BTW, I just received my 45mm titan gold xpert. The chrome was driving me nuts, especially since I'm used to my 50mm titan gold of two years. THEN a few days after I placed the order, I skype pole jammed with paunobs and the chrome was perfect, ugh! So I'll have two 45's, one chrome and one titan gold. I'll probably sell the 50mm titan gold.
Glad to hear you love your new pole 🙂

https://www.studioveena.com/users/view/bc950dd0-d89d-11df-ab19-12313b090e12, didn't realize you were going to be there. So glad you got to meet Lori, Rita and Bel. Aren't they wonderful. That is the studio that is 2 1/2-3hrs from me that I drive to as often as I can. Shelly Lamb teaches there, too! And being able to meet veena, what a treat. I was soooo close to going, but couldn't find anyone who could make the road trip with me 🙁 Maybe next time!

I understand the decision-making for pole. I started with Lil Mynx stainless steel because that's all I knew about. As I got more involved with pole community, I found out about other poles. The ss did me well untill I started with tricks that required more grip and bought a 50mm xpert titan gold. I also recently bought a 45mm xpert chrome and struggled because of having used titan gold for two years. That being said, today I had a great practice on the 45mm chrome, so it's doable.
There are people who love their Lil Mynx stainless steel or other stainless steel poles. Due to my experience, I would say really make sure it's what you want. I'll have to get used to it again as the studio that is opening soon in my town has stainless steel.
I also am waiting for my new 45mm titan gold to arrive. I'll have the two 45's in different finish for different weather, etc. Also deciding on what to do with the 50mm titan gold. I might keep it to take to friend's house to pole play so I don't have to take my 45's out.
Hope I didn't confuse you 🙂

Awesome, thanks for sharing!

Seems logical to me that if you do not show up as a paid member, how is one to know that you are under another profile. It's unfair to have not disclosed that and seeminly set people up.
That being said, this is another thread that needs to be laid to rest. Remember what happened the last time. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_puke_r.gif As difficult as it is not to respond, it's probably best.

Great advice here. For me patience is the key and not comparing (which is difficult not to do). It is challenging, yet rewarding when something is accomplished. Pain when learning something new is a part of pole journey. Just as we accomplish something and the pain goes away, the next trick can start all over again with pain. Building strength for tricks is part of it also, it took me a while going in baby steps to develop strength for basic butterfly, I found a great tutorial to build strength for that on youtube, before I found this site. Don't feel the need to progress at sprint speed and enjoy each new accomplishment. Posting here helps, veena's lessons if you can get them, a studio if you can, if there's a studio for workshops once in a while.

Sometimes I also put "Thanks for Watching" at the end or some other comment/ending. Everyone is different, that's what's awesome, the variety. I use AVS Video Editor a lot. It's not professional, but fun and has enough options for me. I have Win7 so also use the Windows Live Movie Maker. I go back and forth between the two.
Just saw your Challenge video, beautiful!!!

I am in the process of selling my 50mm xpert titan gold pole. I live in San Joaquin Valley. It's about two years old. Because it's titan gold I was going to sell for little more than $200. Let me know if you are interested to see what we can work out 🙂
We were just in Sacramento last weekend visiting friends!

Awesome, in my favorites for some time down the road…the long windy road. LOL
