My golden love

I am in love with my new pole. It’s a golden, 45 mm x-pole Sport. It’s light, easy on the eyes and really allows the grip I need to succeed with Butterfly, Caterpillar and other upside down tricks. The only thing that bothers me is that the air in our apartment makes my poles all slippery. It’s weird, I’ve never encountered this problem before, but I’m pretty sure it’s the temperature that’s causing it. So, until I figure out a way to do something about the air at home, I’m using Mighty Grip, Firm Grip, Black Diamond Liquid White Gold and/or leather gloves. It helps, but it’s still an annoying problem.

Right now I am fighting to nail a couple of tricks from level three (so that I’ll be fully prepared for level four later this year). Among these are KneeHold (painful basterd!), Butterfly (working on getting over feeling like I’m gonna die) and Gemini (once again with the pain).

Crucifix, Butterfly Handstand, a sort of Jarmila split and Full Invert.
