Speed tutorial: jump to hip hold
🕑 Added 2023-09-11 16:43:20 +0000 UTC(Different format today as there was someone else using the studio for music)
This is one of my signature moves these days, and it's VERY fun to do, but one of the reasons I was able to learn this before any other ground flips was because there is a very clear progression, and you don't have to fully commit to the move until you've already convinced your brain you can do it!
This is obviously hugely sped up - in real life it takes months to get there from scratch, or hours-weeks to get there from a solid invert, depending on your tolerance for flips. (And then longer still to do it with a bow and arrow in your hands, as the 'safety net' of being able to grab the pole if it goes wrong is no longer there)
But I think the end result is pretty cool!

So, the reason it's called a hip hold is that the pole sits in the crook of your hip (if it's not quite there then you won't balance). Also learning the move from a slower entry you end up relying a lot more on your legs! In thw jump version though you need to catch it in your armpit before your legs are fully in position so the arm becomes more crucial. And yes, most poles can be made to freely rotate at the turn of an Allen Key!

Yeessss! 😁 do it!
If you do many more videos like this, I'm going to end up in a pole class.

Called hip hold. Relies on armpit grips I'm confused man :P So basically when you got it right you're jumping and resting your entire body weight below your arm? Also, and I guess this is a dumb question but... do the poles, any of the poles, rotate?
