On the second part of this move when you switch hands how do you stay spinning to go into the pinwheel. Everytime I try, I stop spinning right when I get into the pinwheel???? Any ideas?

This move requires quite a bit of momentum as well as some distance between your body and the pole. I find that the timing of the switch is also important.. if you switch to pinwheel too late, you'll have run out of spin-momentum. I usually start transitioning into the 2nd part right after i have grabbed the pole with my bottom arm (for RG)- right before i corner in for a complete circle around the pole. so by the time i've made my first circle around the pole, i'm already in pinwheel. 😛 But this could be different for different people. hope that makes some sense!! 😉
Yeah you have to really fly into it. That's how veena taught me. If you saw the youtube video of me doing it I was just walking into it without any momentum...that's not the way to do it right LOL. You gotta flyyyyy....get the momentum. Thats what propels you from one spin to the next 😀
what they said, I also don't fully grab the pole on the reverse grab, I just kinda touch it and the turn to the reverse pinwheel, if you grab to hard your momentum, is gone, you'll stop on your tracks.
Thanks gals, I was going into the pinwheel too late then I would guess. I will try more today after I get my kiddos off to school. I should make a video so when I FLY around the pole and bust my a$$ I can send it to america's funniest video's lol jk
