It's time for a monthly check-in with my pole goals as suggested by my deer-dog loving friend @aussieninja! It's been one month since I sat down and named my goals for the year. I definitely wanted 2018 to be Year of the IRON X!

Here is a refresher on my other goals:
2018 POLE GOALS
-Iron X
-Phoenix
-Janeiro
-A solid Russian split
-4 sets of continuous shoulder mount circus climb (this is a class goal)
-Aerial handspring
-A cool flip (this is vague but I will look into some - I always want to be a ninja!)
-Deadlift handstand
-To NOT keep grinning during a routine due to the happiness and excitement shining through
Ok- so in summary my overall goal is to be a WELL-ROUNDED pole ninja for 2018 - dance-y and ninja-y!
So here are the updates:
-I've checked off the deadlift handstand on the pole! :D - but I'm adding deadlift handstands against the wall.
-I also worked on the Janeiro, but no success. I have though, picked up a variation that involves a split instead.
-I managed to keep a straight face during my showcase performance - but now I want to engage better with the audience.
Here's a photo of my lovely friend Krista at the showcase in the Janeiro! #goals
AND, drumroll please......
I'm proud to show my Iron - X progress in the dtube video above, click the first image! After practicing this trick weekly and slowly lowering down from the handspring, I finally got some hang time!!! I am so happy and SURPRISED!!! It's not quite perfect and I would like to be able to hold it super parallel to the floor, but its a BIG improvement. I used to just drop immediately once I started lowering into the iron X. I think hip placement and body positioning is really essential to this move as well. Hopefully in a few months, it will be more solid and legit. :P
As always, thanks for watching! You guys give me even more motivation to keep up with my goals. :)

wow...that must require an amazing level of skill
I'll be patiently waiting to see these goals achieved dear
Nice work
heheh you are too sweet! Thank you for all your support :D
You're welcome!
it will be the biggest pleasure of my life to get to see you in person one of these days, are you on discord or some other platform where I can get to meet you more often.
<3 awww that is so kind. I do sometimes get on discord or steemit chat, but it's not very consistent - i've been so busy, but it would be fun!!
You will reach all your goals of course... And more... You already are a true pool ninja or a marvel.. Happy weekend to you ✌️
:) thank you very much!!
Yesss!
hehehe I was so excited, and also thinking of you when I made this post! Hows it going???
Slowly. Having some chest pain this week but I am working on it. Been trying (and failing) at Ayesha
aww so sorry to hear about the pain occurring, hope it heals soon! take it easy for a bit
This is a WOW display. Double Iron-x talent. I am amazed you didn't giggle nor smiled during and after the display. Will smiling have made you loose focus?
I am glad you are meeting most of your set goals. I am making some crazy dtube videos for my entry into dtube. Haha
hahah I'm not sure :P I usually end up smiling afterwards... I prob cut it out of the video lol who knows! :) Looking forward to the crazy videos
Ok. 😁🙈
WOW @polebird that is insane. Through my various flopping around on the pole I already know how epicly difficult that move is. So much strength is required. You are quite the mighty lady!
hahah thank you! It's still a work in progress, BUT at least theres progress :D
thanks!
