Awesome! The Olympics mostly bores me to tears, but this is a competition that I'd DEFINITELY watch!
This reminds me of the Cirque de Soleil (the only circus I enjoy; sexy and no animal "tricks" degradation

). (eg, I can't stand to see majestic tigers reduced to jumping through hoops!)
I'm glad to see that men are included. Why should women have all the fun?
But what was that monk getup about?!
There's a couple of places in SF that teach pole dancing. After seeing this video, I might try it (someday). Looks like a great workout!

for this! (We all have to start somewhere, and this is where I am)
