There was no chance in hell of me getting to do a one handed "firefly". The spin was simply far too fast to hold on with only one hand. I could do a couple other moves but because of the faster spin I had to concentrate more on holding on rather than my posture and whether or not I was holding my body correctly for the tricks. This made for some faulty and occasionally sloppy pole work.
The upside down "snake" maneuver is just about impossible on a spinning pole. The only way I can get my legs over my head (on a regular pole) is to pretty much take a flying leap and let the momentum of the leap turn me upside down. But on the spinning pole this same momentum that once allowed me to grab onto the pole and flip my legs up over my head now instead simply forces a super fast spin of the pole. I not only lose the force necessary to get upside down but even if I manage it I end up spinning upside down which is downright disorienting and kinda scary!
I don't know if was because working the spinning pole took more strength or because it was late but I tired out quickly. I can usually practice pole for 40 minutes to an hour and half. On that spinning pole at the vogue I was exhausted within 5 minutes. My muscles felt like jelly and I couldn't practice anymore. :(
On the upside I enjoyed dinner tonight with
