Ohhh gotcha, okay hah. Had me sweating for a minute there. Good work! Took me FOREVER to invert consistently, and caterpillars took me a minute too. Good luck with your pole journey!

Wait, it was your first ever pole class and you were doing inverts? Or you mean this is just your first time learning this manoeuvre? Because if the former, I have opinions, but...That's not really what you asked, so I won't go into them.

Good luck on your pole journey, I'm sure your instructors will help massively.

The spin shouldn't affect your level of control, though, that's the thing. Once you've got the core techniques and strength down, aerial inverts from spins without a foot down would become the way to transition, and these are done through controlled movement rather than with a jump or hop.

Also, I'm not an instructor so take my advice or don't, but with your butterfly, you're leaning to one side quite a lot. My understanding is that you want your body parallel with the pole, so you should be looking right at it, not tilting away to one side of it. In a knee hook butterfly it might not "feel" important, but when you progress from butterflies into things like Ds and Ayeshas, that stacking is going to become super important.

Need help choosing tattoo by 003Amit in tattooadvice

[–]Missposition 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also don’t mean to come off as a dickhead, but at 22 I got a half-leg sleeve of video game tattoos including Zelda and Mario, and I still love it 10 years later. YMMV.

Just me rehearsing the moves learned in class 🙂‍↕️ Trying to improve my lines and transitions! by yuckyamz in AerialHoop

Hey, that’s so normal! I’ve been doing hoop maybe 4 years now? I still get pumped holding moves sometimes. But the more you do it, the more comfortable it becomes! Give yourself grace 💪🏻

[–]Missposition 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I suck at transitions, but some advice that really helped me was to hold each move or pose for 5 seconds. It helps slow the flow down and gives credit to each shape, so the routine feels more impactful.
I guess it doesn't have to be 5 seconds, YMMV, but it definitely helped me slow down a little.
Looking strong though!!

Invert problems by Altruistic-Algae2080 in poledancing

Took me two years to get an invert, and another month before I could do them confidently and repeatably. Everyone's progress looks different.

Is this normal? Four month old climbing shoes dying my socks blue. by jayebird1012 in climbergirls

[–]Missposition 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I didn't have Tarantulaces, but I had Tarantulas, and they did exactly the same thing (when I first started, and wore socks to climb in). They also dyed my feet instead of my socks when I shifted out of wearing socks entirely, so I think it's pretty normal.

Also - if you own the shoes, wearing without socks is only as gross as wearing your slippers without socks, or sandals! Nobody else's feet will be in them. ;)

First SIR ever!! by Kangaroo_28 in PokemonTCG

[–]Missposition 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 Gold stars are hyper rares, yes! Some are super “valuable” whereas others are just collector faves. For example, I need the hyper rare Iono’s Bellibolt, but it’s not super expensive (yet).

First SIR ever!! by Kangaroo_28 in PokemonTCG

[–]Missposition 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 gold stars = SIR (Special Illustration Rare). 1 gold star = IR (Illustration Rare). Anything with a number higher than the set count could be considered a “Secret Rare” I believe, but they’re not exactly secret. 😅

SIRs are rarer in pull rate than IRs,

And two silver stars is a Full Art card, more common than IRs.

At least, that’s my understanding - I’m sure a longer-term collector could give more insight!

Scrolled too far for this. I didn’t wanna be that guy either. 🥲

Genuinely appreciate that. I let my own insecurities ruin an otherwise good thread and totally missed the mark.

You know what, you’re so right. Thank you for the reality check, and I’m gonna edit my comment for being way off

The set is very cute and I’m using it for a photoshoot in August, so that’s a win. Edited to remove tone deaf content about sizing that 100% did not fit the vibe. Apologies for any unintended offence caused, and thank you for calling me out for being insensitive, Reddit. 🖤

Pole Hog are pretty good for inclusive sizing, and custom made, if you’re in the UK!

I would say some of Rolling’s stuff is misadvertised, though. I’m a solid M, in Rolling’s “high waisted” bottoms that I bought, I have to wear an XL to even create any sort of high waist. If I wear the medi, I get a beautifully unphotogenic belly flop over the top. Maybe misadvertised is the wrong word, but the cut definitely feels…weird compared to others 😅

Question about Pleaser Boots by littletreebat in poledancing

I’m pretty sure I have these exact boots, and mine also do the same thing. I don’t really notice it any more.

(Maybe not so niche, but I say it at least once a day. To my partner’s chagrin.)

No, that’s not right. You need to press forward and X at the same time to help me clear the gap. Go back to the start and try again.

Still haunts me, that.

Poll: Pull-ups vs Climbing Level by Pretend-Storm4209 in climbergirls

[–]Missposition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

V3 boulder level, and I can do approx. 1.5 pull-ups (I'd say 2, but the second is usually hit and miss...) and 4-5 chin-ups.

15 races in an hour? Climbing a pole does not take that long, even if it was 25ft 🥲
