Mechi, it's funny, because pretty much everyone says the same thing–leg holds are easier on the 50, and when they switch to a 45, they have to figure out how to reposition themselves to get the hold properly even if it's one they already know well. I don't know why I haven't noticed much of a difference–maybe I am just unconsciously squeezing my thighs harder?

I personally love my 45–it's a really nice in-between, and I can get a better grip on it than the 50 I had. I know some people complain about having to adjust their leg grip on the 45, but I actually haven't found that to be the case for me personally so far.

Thanks for giving us an update; I'm so happy to hear your hubby is doing better! Happy birthday to him too!

Congrats on getting your apartment back and your pole set up! Now get to the making videos. I jut got my 45mm on Tuesday and I love it–everything feels so much more secure; this pole is totally spoiling me.

I definitely agree with finding music that moves you. I have bleh days where I don't feel like poling or even working out at all, and I just force myself to do it anyway, because I know once I get moving my motivation will pick up, and music really helps with that.

Bace16, I was already on the floor before I realized what had happened–it wasn't yanking oddly at my hair while I was spinning or anything, so I didn't even notice until I tried to get up that I was stuck. The possibility of my hair getting stuck never even occured to me before, so it's just something for long-haired ladies to keep in mind.
Hotpinksugar, let us know how your new brass x pole is! Are they available in the US yet, or are you from a different country? I thought I read that they were coming out in the US in June.

It's probably not a common problem–there is such a small gap that I didn't even think about it, but it definitely can happen, obviously. Just something for ladies (or guys) with long hair to remember–if that hair and the pole are both twirling just right…voila!
-
Wait until your pole is nice and warmed up before trying it–I could do a butterfly in my sleep now, so I can usually manage for a few seconds at least even on a very slippery pole, but when I was first learning I could not put on enough liquid chalk. Like I said before, this move took me ages to learn, and basically scared the crap out of me for some reason. You'll get it eventually, it just might take a while.

Child sized stripper heels–LMAO! How tall are you, Charley? I'm a pretty petite girl, and I wear a size 8, which I think is about average, if I remember correctly.
I have not had a problem with my boots getting torn up by the pole so far, but I am curious to see how they will hold up on my new TG x pole. I put them on while practicing on the TG last night while I was messing around on spin mode, and they were ok–I messed around for about an hour with no problems, but we'll see what happens during later sessions. What will probably happen is that I'll be doing a dance for my boyfriend, and mid song they'll just come completely apart while I'm upside down. I'll just tell him that was part of the strip, I guess.

I LOVE that you make men get on the pole. I bet that stops the sleazy comments very quickly. Great interview!
-
Oooh, ok–that's a lot easier. I'll try loosening it/taking the dome off later tonight or tomorrow, whenever I get a chance, and let you guys know if that fixed it, for anyone else having the same issue.
-
I think I am going to untighten it all the way, and then re-tighten it–if it still does it, then I'll take it completely down. I just don't want to disassemble and then reassemble the entire thing if I only need to loosen it a bit. Thanks for the advice!
-
I hope they find out soon what's wrong with him; keep us updated, and pole your heart out if it helps you to deal with the stress! At this rate you'll be competition level in a few months. 😉

A gemini would probably be the easiest way to get into it; you can just hang there on your leg, then put your hands into the position you need. You will get it eventually; it just takes practice. The butterfly was my nemesis move for a long time. I finally left it alone for a while, came back to it after a long hiatus, and all of a sudden I could do it; it's one of my favorite moves now. It is definitely kind of scary at first, though.

She wasn't bad–I loved the bodywave and hair flicks. I do wish she had done more than mostly just stand around and bump her hips once in a while–Shakira knows how to move her body, so I would have liked to see some nice flowing twirls around the pole or something. Also, I like her first, non-pole hairdo in the video much better.
And Nero Guilt is an awesome video–I just watched it for the first time yesterday.
