My current favorite is taking it from a palm spin, rolling it down my left arm and around my neck onto my right shoulder. Then I lift my right arm and let the staff rotate around my shoulder/body and down to my leg for a kickup into a kneeling helicopter catch.
I also like one handed continuous tosses (flipping the staff around once or twice in the air and catching it in the same hand, ala Fire Ninja).
And just about any contact move is my forte now... they are so fun!

For clarification, my kickup is horizontal. Think Glass's contact video, and then add the "around the shoulder/body" part. It rolls down my side, and then (while still spinning counter-clockwise) down my leg where I kick it up.
And if you watch Fire Ninja's videos you'll understand the one handed tosses I was talking about...

Yeah, I played with the idea, never really got good enough with it to work in and I got distracted by other things I learned. Impressive or not, it feels really good, which is why I usually work it into all my routines. Flows out of a lot of other things.
But anyway, on to more signature moves....

well a signature is not a thing taken lightly.. wow my computor is making unhappy faces at me? But there is a move I like to call me. Not cause it's a trademark nor nuthing. Just cause I can do it. It kinda involves cossak dancing and figure 8ing between the legs... thats all I'm telling cause other wise you all would be getting into my medicare benifits and all hell would break-loose.. ponder wisly.

My signature move is where i take a pen and write my name. Oh boy winter does horrible things to my posts. ![[Eek!]](/ubbthreads/images/icons/shocked.gif)
hail and well met, sir dwaunos! hey dude, if that's the trick i'm thinking of, it's one of the only effective tricks i can execute with oversized single staves.

Hi folks... Just registered about 5 minutes ago. First time Im involved in anything like this! As for a signature move.... I wont say I have any moves that particularly define my twirling (cause I love them all!!!) But one that I created that stands out is:
What I like to call: The halfturn power throw.
I was experimenting one day with throws trying to figure out how to give em a little more "oomph" and found that instead of doing a front toss or backspin release (Im making all these name up by the way) which is what I was accustomed to, I stumbled upon a great trick to send your stick up to 25 feet up (depending on strength) whilst spinning at about 500 miles an hour.
I start out doing the extended arm figure 8 I suppose you'd call it, and then go into the halfturn (I hope thats a familiar term I havent met many staff guys or gals in canada-- Do a few half turns go gather some nasty speed and on the sticks last rotation before it is directly in front of you, give an extra wrist snap and whip your shoulder from forward to back and release. Take a look up and admire your handiwork, set for impact and catch that mother-@#$^*!!!
Hope I said all that right...
signed.... shy newcomer....
ps... any other self taughts out there?

Umm, there seems to have been a lot said already about calling (or not calling) a move 'your signiture. So to skip over all of that and continue in the spirt of fun, sharing, free love and small gnomes, here is a fun one. If you can do a little contact and a little acro, it is not to hard to do them at the same time. Don't know if folks are already mucking around with this sort of thing, as we just went to the park and worked it out. For an example, you can start off with it rolling around your shoulders, do a neck pinch, and then some backwards or forwards handsprings (this is not nearly as parapligia inducing as it sounds btw). The hard part is to keep the staff moving along with a bit of flow. Nice when it works.
--------------------
Contact without dance is like sex without wiggling.
A) it does feel as good
B) it does not look as good on film

Erm, a pretty move is to transition to a position where the staves/staff are tucked or held together in front, with the body propelled into a tumble then jumping back up with a kip up.
With one staff, you can use the free hand to power the kip up.
With two staves, you need to execute the 'no hands' version to power your flipping action.
Otherwise, you can head to hongkong and get a wire team to make it happen.
yay for random icons!

Oh, oh, oh, I've been thinking about contact staffing while doing cartwheels or handsprings, but I have no gumption to try it cause I can barely do them anyway. Love to see a video (hint hint!)
Bender, don't quite get what your describing... I just worked something out that SOUNDS like that where I take it from spinning in front of me, and roll over the stick kinda (dive/summersault) and come out spinning beside me... like that?

That looks great Bender! I had to run outside and try it right away. I can get get it when using a hand up, but as for my no hands attempt...
...well let's just say that the end result lacked the gazalle like grace of your clip. ![[Loco]](/ubbthreads/graemlins/ubbloco.gif)
Very cool though, I've been wanting some acro moves that don't tie up any hands at all (most of mine I use one for).
Love 'n' Stuff,

a note to note: unless the technique is very clean and the coordination on-the-spot, don't try a no-hands kip-up over hard concretey surfaces. like concrete. and my style's a lot more llama than it is gazelle! go on.. smell me!

Eeeep...
Ok, I believe you just don't do anything rash. I'm sure you could wreak much havock in the world if you ever stopped using your smell only for good. ![[Smile]](/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif)
I'll have to take your word for it that that is indeed llama scent however as my encounters with llamas have been scant (unless you include the robed ones I suppose).
Happy Hiking...

yes, llama smells not only get worse as it soaks with rain, but also quickly sends threads off-topic
