Pole Tricks - My Ceiling isn't high enough!

Practising split grip and forearm grip Aysha and Straightedge / Candlestick.
I keep toppling out of the straightedge at the end because my feet are on the ceiling! (Now I have to explain the footprints to the hubby!)

I think a lot of girls would be pleased to have that much room at home! It should be fine!

I Know how that feels if your ceiling isn't high enough. I can't put any extension on the x-pole, the adjuster all the way in.

But your moves are really beautiful.

Wow. That IS short. I've used one once at that height, and my fingers could reach the screw just standing on the floor.

You are not alone, my ceiling is 7 feet 8. I can reach it if I walk extended on tippy toes! I can go into death lay from shoulder mount (yeah, if I could do death lay :0 ) Nice job despite the limitations!
