Just wondering if anyone has tried this odd sport, if so is it difficult.

My sister did it through high school and into college. Doesn't seem too tough....I'm more athletic than her and feel like I could do it. But she practices a lot and still isn't anywere near the best at her level.

So I guess it's like anything else. A lot of us could do it if we tried for a bit (practicing, that is....not just picking up a pole and running). But it would take the right body type and serious dedication to make it far.

I know one thing about it and her name is Allison Stoke
