I have tried to upload an .AVI file (445 MB) and a .MOV file (252 MB). I don’t get any error messages, and they upload up to 100%, but then nothing ever shows up. Help please!

MemberOctober 29, 2013 at 3:07 pm in reply to: Ring trouble due to pole, is it just me?Oh man, I was hoping for a better way to do the ring thing :-(. We’ve only been married for 5 months, so I feel kind of weird not wearing my rings, and if I don’t put them on when I go out, people notice. I’m thinking of getting my rings sized up a little bit so that they will fit over my knuckle a little better and not cause a swollen and cut up knuckle every time I put them on or take them off.
I’m seriously considering getting a wedding ring tattoo or something, but am not sure what my husband would think about that!

It's tough to put a deadline stamp on when you feel like you don't suck as much anymore, because I think everyone feels like they suck at some time or another. Even the super advanced girls I know think they suck because they are incredibly hard on themselves. It's definitely all relative, and depends on who or what you compare yourself to. For example, this weekend I nailed a really difficult trick that I have been working on for months, and had been feeling like I was awesome at pole…until I went to practice today and I couldn't even pull off tricks that I have been able to do for months! It's definitely a confidence thing- think about the moves that you are good at, do them at every practice to make you feel comfortable and confident, and then work on the new moves with that positive attitude you'll have from doing a bunch of moves successfully
Good luck, you can do it!

Grand Theft Auto 5! My husband has been glued to the Xbox for the past week….haven't seen the pole dancing yet though!

I don't know what to consider myself, since I mostly practice individual tricks and combinations, rather than anything fluid or dance-like. Tricks come easily, but dancing does not, so I feel like I can't really call myself a dancer. "Pole athlete" maybe?

My studio has 50 mm brass poles, but I bought a 45 mm chrome xpole so that I would be able to develop skills on both and not just be able to do tricks on one type of pole. Also, since the majority of studios, showcases, and competitions use 45 mm chrome poles, I wanted to have one I could practice on if I decide to enter anything.

The ceilings in my house are only 7’2″, and I’m 5’3″,so I can barely climb 2 feet up on my pole. It is annoying, but also probably safer for me since I am somewhat of a daredevil and the low height gives me less distance to fall. I practice my climbs and high up stuff at my studio where I have a spotter and a crash mat.

I like really powerful songs since I tend to focus on tricks that rely on strength. After that, I’m thinking something by Breaking Benjamin, possibly “Had Enough”

I did taekwondo for over 10 years, and have a first degree black belt. I’m performing in a pole showcase in the fall and am hoping to come up with a martial arts inspired routine. TKD is known for fancy spinning/aerial kicks, so I may try to incorporate some into pole spins, etc. Does anyone have suggestions on incorporating the two?
