human flags

Can anyone do one?

It's on my bucket list.

As shoulder recovers will be practicing more often.

Next time I lose a drinking game in Thailand & have to do pole dancing this is what I will be doing

My mate does these everywhere. Not as hard as full front and rear levers.
But he is short, and lean.

A have a female client that can do these very well.

I have no chance.

Yeh they are awesome, wish I could do that.

serious. That gives me some confidence for when my shoulder's better then as I'm getting close to holding that front lever for a bit over a second now & only been doing them for 2 weeks or so.

I'm only 5'8" but a fair bit of mass in lower body so probably not "ideal" for these but I will get there

Sticky: that's impressive!

I actually tried it after a few drinks on the weekend. I reckon I could do it if I trained for it. I can already do the 'cheap' version very easily (where you wrap your arm around the pole).

I should really practice it, it is pretty damn impressive to see.

I will have to ask my pole dancing friend if she can do these. And if not I will race her there

My latest dodgy attempt. I took a break as my left shoulder was having issues. I'm a bit heavier now so it's getting harder. Damn Winter bulk

Awesome stuff JZ. I've been there, that famous street in San Francisco.

If you really wanna impress us try that manouvre off the side of one of their moving cable cars!

Ah Lombard street, where everybody tries to manouvere their camera to avoid getting all the other photographers in the picture

I can do them with my knees tucked but my shoulders are not strong enough yet
The trick is to jump up and lower your legs

That's the one

Oni: good stuff man! An article I read said to start with the legs closer to vertical but extended and when you can hold that for 10 seconds then start to attempt to lower. They are mad fun though!
