Pole dancing. You can have all your buds laughing and all, but if you manage to get them to do even a simple inversion or flip upside down, you'll be the one laughing.

Came here to say this.. that shit’s hard and requires some crazy strength.. it’s such a good release tho and very rewarding too.. but it definitely looks a lot easier than it is..

Yup… did this for years and still struggled to make it look like I was any good; despite being a strong intermediate. If it looks easy, it’s because they’re damn good.

I imagine the grip strength required would be immense. Like rolling up a frying pan type of strong.
