i managed to write half an essay yesterday so i rewarded myself with a sppin. still no staves so am using some piping with broom handle weighting that i cobbled together yesterday, no grip or kevlar tho.
doubles:
behind the back stuffs cool, where you do like a 1 beat on the wrong side of your body with your arm behind back and then repeat on the otherside. whilst the other stik is doing simalr one beat things above head. this seems to be variable, with heads travelling together or split.
entrance into the above by haloing one stik and then taking it out with the same hand but under opposite armpit (behind back) i like this.
lots of turning and STANCE (STupid dANCE) putting extra beats in, stuff that feels wierd that i guess is antispin??
and i've almost worked out an entrance into that parrallell.stop.change direction thing without holding a beat with 1 stick. after this is sussed i'm gonna work on that weave and butterweave malarky.
Single stick - nothing much, but its crazy what you can do with a towel rail, grip and heavy ends help but difinately aren't essential
oh neon, sorry i didn't introduce myself proper in camden the other day, did you have a good spin? i couldn't make it in the end, too much to do in 36hrs in london!! i thought you were scouse or something anyway.

thas a good enough reason not to talk to him eh



As for single beat high low stuff there is loads to be done with that, lots of triangles can be formed where end meets end, im loving that move at the moment too....... ties into antispin quite nicely also

Yeah it was good to see you although I never really thought about your HOP handle as I see that many people at meetsdon't even have a HOP account! It was a goof spin!

1 - Got a 180 Halo (starting on right shoulder caught in left hand) while the other staff is thrown from left hand to right and taken round the body as you turn.
I come out of this with my arms crossed with the sticks parallel so you can go straight into whatever its called where you untangle your arms by the sticks spinning in the same direction then tangling in the opposite direction again.

2 - From a cross being held in front of me, horizontal staff goes down arm to being spun around on the neck with the other staff being passed around the body in either direction then with 2nd staff in original hand the 1st being sent back up the arm and around back into the cross.

3 - Doubles antispin flowers, only when both in the same direction tho, not tried in opposite directions yet.

AAARRRGGGHHH!!! My giant stick broke!!! In two!!! My stick broke in two!!!

nice.

fishtail to same shoulder (as if halo) then turn and roll back down the top of same arm into either back of hand spin/fishtail/both. this is a good one for smoking - leaves a hand free.
1/2 steves without the neck wrap, stopping/turning to have it just going back and forth on arms.

haven't got the hang of quoting whoops! only the first line above is quote.
after reading something in another thread (can't remeber which one) i've discovered extra beat fishtails, i do it as a mini throw at both front and back making 3 beats i think. the way it was described in the other thread was with propellers both front and back.

double butterfly steves to half matrix and neck wrap.

Start off doing a front side double butterfly steve then when the sticks get to your throat, turn 180 so one goes low into matrix (front side entry) and the other goes round your neck and both sticks go back up the outside of the arm they came down.

Strugz im stealing that one armed full steve idea for sure

ok slightly over excited post there. Its not a half matrix and neck wrap, its an opposite shoulder half matrix and a carry. The neck wrap and matrix is possible but the timing is really difficult.
Bizarly its actually easier to do an opposite shoulder entry to matrix that a standard matrix cos it keeps the sticks away from each other more and reduces the chance of them colliding.

err, fishtails again, this time with arm propeller (in front - behind is scary [censored]) on r arm only.
got rid of the mini throws for aforementioned 3 beat fishtail, constant contact now (on right anyways)
getting there on the jesus front, started playing with under the armpit entrances/exits - theres lots to do here with doubles!
halo while passing the other staff hand to hand over head windmill stylee. (somehow works!)
one day i'll be able to remember all these little bits and make them flo, a few more years practice maybe? :sigh:
