Our Artists Chinese Pole
	last Ground Based | next Ground Based back to Artists Page
	Chinese Poles are vertical steel poles on which circus performers climb, slide down and hold poses. The poles are generally between 3 and 9 metres in height and approximately 3 to 4 inches in diameter. The most famous trick is "the flag" When the artist hangs straight out from the pole with his hands. This requires a very strong upperbody. A few people are able to do pushups in this position.
