I was in Tokyo at IPDFA. I know the creators and sponsors very well…It is a professional well run competition…EVERYONE has off days, it is not a conspiracy. Even when you have supreme skills, you can be outperformed or more of what the judges are looking for. Mai is gorgeous, Felix is gorgeous. Mai was on fire that night. 

Xpole is organizing a huge pole showcase this July in Sydney called Pole Reflections that I am excited to be a part of….less stress allows for more creative inspiration.
