lol my pathetic effort at anything at all!! from now its a new start and i have to put the effort in again to get back to where i was!! you two are looking fantastic xx
...can actually HOLD yourself in the Split Grip...I cannot succeed at even staying in that position any longer than the basic "TOE-TAP" move--like a 1/2 second! Bravo onyour candle spin. JC's ability to fly up on to the pole in his L-bracket type holds while spinning just amazes me. He is one of the natural born pole geniuses--much like Sarah Cretul, I think he's more at home in the air than on the ground! Nice work, Gsylass--you should be very proud!!!
GREAT--starting off with the very first opening butterfly! Loved the booty popping segment, LOL! Ha HA, I've tried that in private--can't even squeeze a single butt cheek! Your splits are getting more flexible there at 1:25. It's incredible you are now doing the mechanics of a Superman fall! When Karol posted her tutorial on this move a year ago, it was an advanced "get" wanted by all the advanced level polers and YOU are doing it! As for the body wave, hey--at least you can actually (...)
You know, over all, what is most amazing about this video is how you have gone from being tentative and unsure as a beginner last year to a confident poler eager to try new stuff and able to freestyle and experiment with movements, placements, and positions. And now your relationship with your teacher has become more collaborative--with each of you watching the other and sharing ideas and patterns of movement--this is waht is so amazing about pole, I think! Pole work in this vid was (cont'd)
Even if you reinforce and smooth over a move you already learned, that still counts as progress. Also, if you try learning a new move, but don't get it the first time, you are still learning something; and this too counts as progress. The Superman Fall scares me a lot! But I'm getting a better Holly Drop.
Thanks :-) Ooh the Holly Drop is one I'd love to get!! The superman fall isn't difficult if you think about what you're going to do first, and then do it slowly.
I've been lowering myself into the Superman Fall to get used to the motion, but I still can't bring myself to take that next step and plunge into the Scorpio! Plus, my thigh is all burnt up from Holly Drop practice. If I tried to do a Superman hold right now, I might rip my leg off. Haha
i wish i could i live in NY lol. i love it. i wish i had friends to practice with. i am having a hard time learning alone. the strength is hard, i can't even flip myself around like that. i just finally got a invert .
the superman fall looks good- I think it's pretty sexy slow too if the movement is.. drawn out. lol, yeah, it's not a fall, but it's comfy, right? I .. envy the pencil-chopper bit. so much!
Hahaha you're so funny/cute with your cat (who i love, btw!).. my cats distract me from poling too :)
Anyway.. love your superman & the pencil combo on spinny! great progress with the superman fall, i'm still so scared of that! And what's a "super invert"?
Karol's done a fab tutorial on the superman fall, watch it and then just take it slow. I bend both knees up behind me, and make sure to get my arm ready to catch in scorpio position. A super invert is I think where she did a shouldermount then kept her hands in place in the middle in like a baseball grip... am I making sense??
i like how easy you got into the superman...i keep trying that but cvan never seem to get my leg over that last bit to do it :-( absolutely loved you pencil/chopper/gemini combo, very cool. jc is the best eh ??Im gonna try that myself now :-) loved your friends combo at the end. great video xx
He's a babe :-) It's not exactly difficult as long as you throw everything you've got into it but hold yourself heavy as it's on spin - if that makes sense! I hate that flip over in superman, I actually struggle every time. Thanks xx
