'Elbow Stand'

Obviously the term 'elbow stand' derives from its sister the 'hand stand.' As you can see  I'm using my elbows to balance and take the weight of my body, as well as my leg once it connected with pole.
I'l be honest, I've always been a little scared attempting this move (hence the reason I've avoided it in the past) because I had this idea that I'd put all my weight on to my head, which isn't the case at all. My head didn't even touch the floor. I'd say it was at least a good centimetre away from it.
After having no pole in my life all summer, (I went away) I'm glad that it is present again!
