Fountain Definition: VOTE NOW

I personally dont think fountain is:

weave/corkscrew/revweave,

more:

weave/corsckrew/weave/revcorkscrew/weave (as described on the fountain thread)

However I don't really care which one it really is, so I say why dont we vote for what we each think the fountain is, and the one that gets the most votes we define as the fountain. Then decide a name for the other and then all this bollard can cease.

So which do you thing fountain is:

1.weave/corkscrew/revweave
2.weave/corsckrew/weave/revcorkscrew/weave

Incidentally if the fountain is the former then it is quite simple to do the whole motion in five beats instead of three in both directions, you could actually spin a few 360's in one direction and then in the other. Also why not stick a windwill or a low wave in in both directions?

fountain:

weave/windmill/rev weave
rev weave/windmill weave

I have only one burning desire....let me stand next to your fire

If were going to vote on anything though, i think we should stop calling a weave >> windmill >> rev weave combination a fountain. Just totally ban the word altogether. I think i'd be happier taking a little longer to type out the combo than repeatedly explaining what a fountain is.

------------------

Naming combination moves is confusing.
Also naming transitions that go between moves.

Let's just resolve that a fountain is weave>windmill>revweave according to HoP. If you want to call it something different, that's fine. Just like if you want to call me Chuck that's fine too, it's just not my name.

so im with phunky too, how many votes does that make it?

5?

OK, so generally people seem to thing that fountain is just weave/windmill/revweave.

OK, so that isn't even my definition of a move ffs, its just two different moves spliced together. Jesus, most people are doing that before they are walking, this is fing ridiculous.

Its not as though a five beat fountain would be difficult...

Which brings us to the matter of naming the move that I thought was fountain, and is incidentally about fifteen times harder than the now official fountain, any ideas?

what you named is not a move so it doesnt need really need naming. The fountain is a special case because its so ingrained in everyones head already.

------------------

And to add a bit of dimension, turn your body 360 when you hit the corkscrew part.
So, it would be weave=>corkscrew w/360 body turn => rev weave => reverse your 360 body turn w/ corkscrew => weave

Also nice is to do a forward Sprinkler with a reverse Fountain...ie: if you start on the left...go left to right in Sprinkler but then go right to left in Fountain. You can also add a body turn to your windmill to give the move a bit of symmetry.

Oh.. and yeah... weave => windmill => rev weave and back again is a fountain in my book!
Does that make 6 or 7 votes?

???

weave >> (rev weave >> windmill >> weave)

yes that is a fountain minus the move before.
