If your ceilings are under 9 feet you do not need extra extensions but if they are higher you will so worth checking before you buy. Yes, best to get pole with static and spin modes – xpert xpole is easy to switch modes.

X pole x pert is my recommendation: how tall are your ceilings?

I got aerial teddy on spin today and my husband was :-O wow
I think it was the skillz not the crotch flashing!
I don’t think it will ever be my wowing the public move! -
I have noticed non polers seem to be impressed by quite simple things like planks. Or cradle spin up from bottom of pole. And upside down things even simple inverts like inverted crucifix has the ‘oho’ factor but some other really hard stuff doesn’t get the same recognition.

Yep you should have A pole, B pole and 2 extensions, then if ceiling under 8 feet 2 add the 125mm extension, if 8 feet 2.5 inches to 8 foot 7 inches the 250mm bit, if 8 foot 6 to 9 feet then both extensions and if over 9 feet, get the longer extension, which is 450mm I think, from memory, not sure. Over 11 feet you must have permanent mount, most places I know use mounts if over ten feet.

Click on the star 😉

Do you have the extension already? If so
🙂 🙂 -
Yes you need extension piece 🙁 sorry
Call or email xpole. -
Sorry, posting in a rush…I’d also email xpole customer service the pics and story and ask their advice.
-
Days should read ‘says’ sorry.

Ok stop using pole (sorry)
The xpole manual days if the black O ring is showing you’ve exceeded the safety length of 125mm/5 inches and must get extension piece.
-
So far so good; I am still using the spreader plate and haven’t put permanent mount in yet.
I am careful and controlled though and avoid jumping and anything that slams into the pole hard sideways…(Hope I haven’t jinxed it)
Enjoy your pole and don’t over tighten; that seems to be the main ceiling stressor.

What is she trying to do, create an army of hair flicking yogic pole clones??? We all have our own journeys: she sounds bonkers.
Glad you saw the supportive empowered side of pole at Expo (and of course on here)
Good luck with your own road – your own dance – your own sweet way.

Hello Baglady! Hope the work is going well.
Thick, slippery pole: would go with gemini into hand stands with wavy legs/hip tilts and booty shakes (always a crowd pleaser)
Can also do forearm stands if easier.
Come up by locking thighs and doing CAR pull ups (impresses some customers)
Hello Boys/wrist seat and slide.
Plank/twisted scissor plank/advanced plank
Jasmine/star
Elbow hang stuff
Slow fan kicks
Figurehead/hood ornament
This is more for you to have fun than to get rained on but it’s a pole, it’s playtime heh heh… -
Shoog! Sorry to hear you’re on a pole break. Heal well and safely.
On the upside can’t WAIT to see your chair/wall/floor flow. I reckon this time out will take you up yet another gear from fantastically talented to mind bendingly original and amazing as a dancer.
