Before you make a rude pun, this is some serious, creative stuff. And can we talk about core training? Read more below.
Amateur polers learn that competition is an opportunity to practice and test performance skills, find a voice on stage, and show friends and family what you've been working on at the studio.
Once polers graduate to the professional level, they compete for titles and cash prizes. Title holders often get recruited for workshops, performances, and gigs at studios, competitions, and productions around the world.
Here are the men who competed in Seattle this last weekend in the 2017 PSO: Northwest Pole Championships.
The competitors were (from left to right): Ricky Pang - Tantra Fitness Richmond, Lucky - The Moxy Movement, Onyx Pole and Aerial Fitness, and Ikarys - Prowess Pole Fitness,
Winners ranked: 1st - Ricky Pang, 2nd - Lucky, 3rd - Ikarys
Thanks to Robert Roth of Jetspace Studio for the photos here.
