I'm finding that the trick is more in the correct placement of arm on staff when going into the propeller. But yes, I can touch my ankles on a good day.

Had my first spin for ages today (hopfully i've seen the back of my wrist injury which has been pissing me off all winter). no new move to speak of (not that i'd tell you lot anyway, dirty vulchers ) just been rolling about on the floor lots.

haven't really played about with matrix combos much, to be honest I'd like to get my matrixs solider first

--------------------
Maybe I should change this too something abit nicer, humm no I still think your all Ct

I did my first ever casual 'hey look, i can do a matrix' today.

so finally i can do it. im not sure which variation it is. i think its the 'rob' or 'standard' version

it only took me a year.

wait till i show you the other stuff though. you'll jump up and down

mmm learnt some lovley stuff this evening, first time ive propperly picked up my sticks in a while.

Some nice horizontal anti spin stuff with doubles, which merges quite well in to horizontal pivots with the odd grab in there to keep things slightly sensable.

the inside arm and over the throat halo thing meg had in her video, which btw gave me somme much needed inspiration, but doing that i have a nasty gash next to my eye.....i'll have to invent some pub fight to cover it up :P

that and some more unsymmetric stuff with doubles, doing lots of multi beat things with one hand and crossing it into the path of the other stick and alternating this.


oh and doubles halo's kinda convayer starting on the right side, behind the back, and then left stick again in behind the back so it all stays going one way :-D

mmmmm

learnt to do a 'sweep' but doing a horizontal halo instead of a throat wrap. I was trying to get the matrix version of the same, but unsurprisingly this turned out to be 100% easier. Same with doing the 'low' steve transfer, half of the caged version.

stalled snes and trying to work out small vertical anti-spin stuff...

Woohoo.. MCP's in america and I just payed my dues to get to stalk her!! Err.. I mean.. uhh.. take a day of workshops!

Oh.. and the new moves.. uhh.. conveyor belt, whatever they conveyor belt is with just the elbows and back, can sometimes roll a steve, but steve likes to hit me in the face, the bugger. But quickly noticing that my staffs are a bit too light and far too short. Ahwell, it's still fun despite all the bruising.

Jesus roll!
I think thats the right name, the one where it goes across the chest over the shoulder across the back over other shoulder across chest and so on til you fall over (or do another trick ).
Only done it once tho so far, still have a fair bit o practice before its consistant.

Still having trouble getting the conveyor belt to go over the shoulder and across the back looped conveyor belt (where you catch it on the wrist off one side pass it to the other wrist and put it back to the beginning and so on and so forth).

No worries dude

Ok so this isnt really a new move - but it is a new combination (for me anyhow) i find it a good little challenge and thought some of you might too

Its bases around conveyors and pivots, so:

The idea it that im going 2,1,0 - 0,1,2 and so on where:

2 = elbow wrist wrist elbow into a pivot
1 = elbow (hands together (over bothwirsts at once) ) into pivot
0 = elbow elbow into pivot

playing with this continously opens up many ideas and variations for the same move - essentially. Although it looks really sweet to anyone watching coz they have no idea whats comming next - kinda helps loose that "predicatable" spinning.

cool, i've been at this for a few months now myself. To be honest im, still tryin to get perfect 360's each turn. its bang on sometimes but often i'll be just a few inches out of plane when i turn fully. Do it three times and thats alot of inches. The trick seems to be almost skipping the second elbow altogether and launching the staff at the back of your neck as you turn into it. And turning up if thats makes sense. Posture and arm wise i mean.

slipping in the odd chest halo is mighty cool too. coz the never expect that

sweet dude - yep yep halos and jesuse in the middle will definately help for unpredicatble spinnin - that and some random knocks to the head eh

I do about 5 of these in a row, (2-1-0) counting as one, i start in vertical plane but by the end im way more horizontal

You can also use reyouts in there too

cool, i cant do reyouts, or layouts for that matter. well, maybe i can but i've never tried...

I got a fairly consistant halo... two full 360 spins with a behind the back catch. same hand that released it... it literally rolls up one arm and down the other. once it gets to your left elbow (if you started with right) it just drops into your right hand. just...

"it just drops in your hand"



i know just what you mean dude - although im not quite getting what you mean when you say a 360 halo?

is that with a jesus? or we still in the world of pivots?

as for the falling into the hand from the elbow - sounds like last part of and angel roll? are you doing half angel roll into halo out to other half of angel roll........?

I think sandy calls them 4beat angel roll
