I have a pole in not a lot of space in my living room and it works fine. I move a lot of shit to use it but it works. I can't do ALL the flying tricks but I can do enough. Iowa seems pretty happy about it and has expressed no 'lack' of or whatever :-).

If you get a pole and want to do flying stuff or climbing stuff, get in touch. I did a lot of research and LURVE my X-pole. And it's going nowhere. Iowa's swung around on it and it isn't moving. Pretty damn cool.
