Oh my gosh!!!! Oh my gosh!!!! Oh my gosh!!!!! I can’t wait to try that climb!!! SO unique!!!!! I’m not done with March but I NEED to try this! I don’t think my husband is getting dinner tonight! I’m telling him it’s SilksStars fault! 🤣

I am having a little trouble with keeping the silk to my right after the crochet. The silk keeps drifting. Is it a case of I don’t need to move the pole? More focus on getting my arm into the necessary one and then reach? As moving it seems to get it in the wrong place lol

Thank you! I managed to do it when I was training on an inside point which was higher but appreciate a modification just in case!
I do have another question though, my left hip on the outside, gets a little pinchy after I’ve run this a few times. Any tips as to warm ups or anything that might help reduce this?

Hi all! I had a bash at it in case I don’t get another chance. Sometimes I lost my cross back but I think I figured it out better.I sure hope to play with it if I can!! Rain, I love your work!!!

I am having a LOT of trouble figuring out the rotation into cross back after the extension. I can’t figure out the correct placement of the silks/ my body to create the cross.
I’ll try playing with it again during my next practice session, but if anyone has any tips on that part LMK.

So, I fixed all (5) past issues I posted last week. All good. Only two things now:
1. Invert to CASH climb: I am actually much better at getting the tension lock off the foot, but if you have any additional tips for more smoothly getting it off, then that would be appreciated. Right now, if I tilt the “locked” leg 60-90 degrees and slightly back it is popping off naturally (most of the time)
2. FUN! I found a double belay exit on accident after the spin. lol. Pleasant surprise 🙂 -

⚠️ Warning ⚠️ Definitely a work in progress!!! Could possibly hurt your eyes to watch! Now that you’ve been warned 😂, I am also having sliding struggles. After the double wrap on the right foot, I feel that I just keep sliding. I am not finding that beautiful arched position that Rain shows because my foot is just getting lower and lower. Speaking of that same position, Rain shows it with her left hand on the pole and right off, but I feel like I will roll out and that I have to reach over with my right to keep me in and then after I push the silk down to my ankle I’m on the floor! 😂🤦🏼♀️ No space left to find the cross back much less the bomb drop. 🥴 Can you help me?!??

I can get the climb about 50% of the time without sliding (progress) but I’m just not getting enough height to have enough space all the way down to the drop. Maybe I’m still making my loop too big after the climb…I’m keeping it in my elbow but I still lose quite a bit of height. Any tips would be appreciated.

I can’t keep foot from sliding in the second foot hitch, the outside wrap one. I’ve tried putting pressure down, pointing my toes, etc to keep from sliding out. How do you keep your foot from sliding out of it?
-
Great question, Carolina. The foot hitch works because of friction between the pole and the tail. The point of the foot pushes the tail towards the pole, perhaps more of the thought of pushing out before down. See if making sure the tension between the two are in place before sending the pressure down. Rain talks about the work of keeping the leg lifted, which helps create that friction before the hitch can take weight and not slide. Keep us posted if this helps!

Hi all! I am sooo glad to have tried this yesterday before a big storm hit…no more practice for over a week due to strong winds. I feel like I am getting to the stage where I could play with it, but my climb is still lacking finesse, shall we say!
Again, thanks, Silks Star team, and Rain! You REALLY help motivate me out here. I love it!

Hello Friends! I am so proud of how far I have come on this challenge, because of this challenge my strength has seriously increased a lot!!! Hoping to perfect this more and looking for some feedback. I finally found a song I like to put to the sequence today. I know I need to work on some leg micro bends and i want to make it more smooth overall. Any feedback is appreciated. Thank you so much! https://www.silksstars.com/community/alyssa/media/3521/

I’m struggling with the exit into the waist wrap. As I slide into this wrap my waist/torso ends up WAY lower than my wrapped leg which makes the “cuddle wrap” and exit very awkward. Any tips?
-
It sounds like you might have too much slack above the wrap around the leg before laying back with the waist wrap. Rain mentioned keeping the tail of one fabric across the back to elbow to manage slack, and the other place where slack might gather is how high you reach on the free pole before wrapping the ankle. The higher the reach, the more room you have to lay back, which gets the feet above the hips and the cuddle a little funky. Play with hand placement on the free pole after the lasso and hopefully that might be an answer! Keep us posted on progress!

What the heck?!?! I don’t know how I did that or how to delete it, so I’m just going to try again. Sorry!

Here’s a video to go along with my question, if that helps.
