pole trick tricks
When I first started dancing, I always admired the girls who could do the extreme pole tricks. Their agility was truly admirable and I never thought I would ever have the strength to keep up with them. Until now. It took me years but now I can confidently say I am one of those girls that can defy gravity. It all started with a move I tried on a spinning pole, a move that involved hooking my right leg around the pole and falling forward. For the first few months, I couldn’t do this without the help of my arms. Slowly and steadily I began to let go. The first time I did it with only my leg touching the pole, I felt absolutely amazing. Like I had accomplished an amazing feat. And the secret to my success wasn’t added muscle nor was it increased flexibility. It was sweat. That’s right… sweat. Apparently a little moisture on your skin helps out tremendously when you are learning how to do tricks. I had no idea this worked! Eventually, I did this move so many times that a callous began to develop on the back of my knee and now I can do the spin no matter what temperature my body is. If stripping were a “real job”, I would be getting a bonus for this!
So sweat is trick number one. The second trick I learned is to wear boots. No matter how easy a girl makes it look, climbing the pole is incredibly difficult. It is smooth, slippery, and alot of them tend to spin very very fast. Having upper body strength is key but you can take the easy way out like me and cover your calves with patent leather. This gives your arms a break when you are climbing because the boots stick to the pole, allowing your lower body to do some of the work as well. The pole at my club is huge and I love climbing all the way to the top. When I get up there, I swing my legs forward, catch with my dilapidated, calloused right knee, and spin all the way to the floor upside down and hands free. It looks HOT. And it fucking hurts. I am probably doing irrevocable damage to my leg but that’s what vitamins are for. Also, don’t forget to tip if you see a really cool trick. For most girls, it takes lots of practice to get that good and it always feels nice to know your hard work is appreciated.
I am debating on having one of the dancers take pictures of me doing some tricks.

I’ve been hoping you’d talk about dance/pole tricks. I don’t remember if you blogged about that on the old site.
I guess most dancers have signature moves and some are really very beautiful to watch. At the club I’ve been to, some dancers just dance and only use the pole to pivot off of. A lot of those dancers are good at dancing. Then there are the dancers that do stuff on the poles. They are often good at dancing but the pole work puts them in a different category. On the poles, they are acrobats. I enjoy watching both styles but I enjoy watching the ladies do the pole work because it adds another dimension of beauty to their stage show.
“and spin all the way to the floor upside down and hands free. It looks HOT.”
This sounds like a great move. It must be beautiful to see. It always amazes me when a dancer lets go with her hands while perched somewhere on the upper half of the pole. It takes incredible strength to hold on like that. And I can imagine it hurts like hell.
Even though I didn’t used to sit at the stage for anyone other than my favorite lady, several times each visit, I’d see a dancer do something amazing/beautiful/incredible and I’d walk over and tip her for it.

Terranova –
“I am looking at the Female in the Sweat Piucture and thinking there is something a little off”
Yeah, pictures are rarely anyone’s friend. That’s my case. I never like pictures of myself. I’m surprised by that because I look in the mirror and don’t see the same person I see in pictures. I wonder how that could be? Maybe mirrors lie.
Still, I’m going to look for pics to send. If the other guys send theirs, maybe Tara will post them.
I wouldn’t date a dancer because of the age difference but I admit that part of me wants to because of their beauty. That’s Mr. Helmet Head talking though. I may be older than they are but I’m not dead.
Yeah, I should do a myspace or friendbook page. Just never got around to it. You made a good point a while ago about people in their 40’s having a harder time meeting people. I think that’s very true. Most of the 40-somethings are settled and don’t go out as much. And when they do, they tend to peter out and go home by midnight. This is true of my friends anyway. It’s not like when we were in our 20’s and would stay out till all hours.
You and Capt Fudd date dancers. Butch parties with dancers. Maybe I’ll be RFG’s poster boy for ugly
