Wow! LOL to the DOS attack…… I'm sorry it happened, but I still find it funny :-p 🙂 What will hackers think up next?…. At least it wasn't on your side though….. (with 6(!!!!) servers I sure hope not….. ) lol
Kudos on being so informative though…you don't get that in a lot of places…..

@Aly77 Thank you!!!!!! Its been driving me crazy trying to figure out what it was….lol

@ senrysa: I love his style too. its more of the strength, but he's so fluid in all his movements, they're all calculated… I'm starting to steal tricks from him — if I could ever do them….lol
on a side note, i'm obsessed with his move at 2:40, does anyone know what it is called??? I can do it, for a bit, but last time I slipped and (of course) managed to twist my ankle on the pole…..don't ask, I'm accident prone….lol

I started out on the 50mm and thought the 45's were horrible…. lol But until I started doing, or trying to do the extended butterfly… I fell in love with the 45. I have really really long fingers (think piano fingers) so the 50 was really comfortable for me. Except with the ext. butterfly… i felt like my grip was gonna give and I was just gonna fall… I overgrip on the 45 because my fingers are so long, and it took me a long time to re-adjust my grip, but I can now switch back and forth from 45 to 50 for the different moves without it hurting….
When I bought my pole though, i went with the 45 because I wanted to feel better inverting and doing my butterfly at home alone … lol There were times when I regretted it, but those have passed now… 🙂

for me…. it was last week….I started pole dancing back in the beginning of the year, but it wasn't until last week when I was talking to a new stranger from work, who was reallly easy to talk to…. He was asking me what I liked to do, and I was like… I work, and I have school…. and the next thing he asks, "don't you do anything else?" … On the tip of my tongue was "yea, i pole dance"… I almost didn't manage to stop myself from saying it.
It was then that I realized that I am a pole dancer….though I prefer pole trickster…. because I don't dance…. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cool.gif

I just did my first lyra class last tuesday…. it was fun actually, but I'm not the graceful type so i'm sure it looked horrible…. I think my strength helps out with it, but it does hurt a bit, then again, I've got pole kisses so thats probably why. 🙂

I started poling first, and then started silks maybe about 6 weeks or so ago… Now I'm actually doing both…I definately had that death grip thing going on, but that could have been the change from 50 to 45 too… I had to crack all my finger joints so many times a day for about 3 weeks… then it just eased up by now…
I think silks definately takes a lot more strength…I see girls who love it, but can't lift themselves up (so they can't do air inverts) and they're starting to get frustrated now… They want to do the drops, but can't ever get that high to do them safely…. and then they see me….lol
From what I can tell though, probably with the exception of myself, the girls who poled before trying silks, go back to the pole…and the girls who never poled, will barely try it…lol I think it has to do with their pain tolerance… the foot wraps hurt the pole girls and trying to climb hurts the silks girls..
I love doing the silks though because I think I get more of an intense workout than on pole (plus fewer brusises!)
If you're comfortable doing air inverts on the pole, then you'll probably have an easier time doing the silks, though the foot wraps will hurt…. I have this crazy idea to do them on the opposite side now just to give my foot a break, lol
When you start it though, you just have to keep in mind that silks move and it is NOT a pole…lol Once I got that through my head I had an easier time and I think its helped me control myself a little better on the pole…lol

not to hijack your thread Polestargazer, but I never thought about this…
Jag, would you mind my asking if the same thing would apply for a root canal? Would inverting mess up all the hard work?… I have yet to schedule my appointment, but I really should…
Thank you!!!

@ LillyBilly Perhaps the dosage was too high for you on Accutane? I was on it in 2007 and while I would get cut very easily, (ie boxes scraping me would cut me) and bruise really quickly, I could never pull off my skin…. I was on it for about 7 months…
I theorize that it took my body a year to be fully rid of the accutane. (I read somewhere that you shouldn't donate blood for a year afterwards)…
For me, being active whatsoever while on it was a big no-no…It was hard enough in the end to go to work and school… lol
I will say that 5 years later now, I bruise much more easily (I think thats a side effect for me….) but they heal pretty quickly, at least I think so… I've got a nice circular bruise on my legs from holding the superman for 3 seconds… 🙂
