One 2013 goal accomplished! IT TOOK ME TWO YEARS to develop an aerial shoulder mount! And I still remember how IMPOSSIBLE it felt the first time.
As I write this, I've been able to do two aerial shoulder mounts in a row without coming down to the ground. Each practice, I'm going to keep training this.
Right now, I'm "froggy legging" up. How about straight legs by December!? Let's accomplish those pole goals!

that must have felt so rewarding!! never give up!
ReplyDeleteI just got my first Shoulder Mount from the ground a couple of days ago, and it felt so darn good after working on it for 6 months! And yes, I'm still "froggy legging" too, so straight legs is a goal! :P
ReplyDeletehahaha story of my polelife, my instructor helping me to lift the 'bigass'
ReplyDeleteI look almost like this but in the basic invert... I am working on it since forever but one day I will do it!
ReplyDeleteI try to do the shoulder mount in one class and I did after 4 classes
ReplyDeletei have a feeling this is how im gonna look on my first day of poling O_O''
ReplyDeleteYay!! I can't even shouldermount off the floor. I still look like the 1st photo :(
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!
xx
So, in no means am I trying to be rude, but shouldn't that say January 2013 on the one you accomplished the shoulder mount? XD <3
ReplyDeleteHAHA Woops! Good looking out. ;)
Deletehaha that's me!! I struggled with that one for so long and then suddenly one day it just happened! I was so happy that day =)
ReplyDeleteI got my aerial shoulder mount in a week but...I can still only handspring from the air, I still can't do it from the ground. After 3 years. Also, 3 years ago I tried an ayisha at a photo shoot, fell, ended up in ER. Luckily , nothing too serious happened. Tried last year and fell in my room and clocked my ear against a dresser, again not too serious. Finally this year. It turned out I needed to switch hands. I went into depressions not being able to get these tricks while watching all my classmates nail them:-(
ReplyDeleteI am not yet able to do an Aerial Shoulder Mount but I can do it from the ground! I can't quite get up on to the pole yet but am slowly getting there! I love the feeling pole gives you when you accomplish something you thought you could never do!
ReplyDeleteKeep working at it ladies!! :D
