i've almost got a seatrix now and am working on getting it into the last part of a steve from it.
also i haven't tried it yet but i'm thinking about doing a matrix with one stick while doin a steve with the other
what a seatrix? sound like a matrix sitting down 
also your matrix an steve together sound interesting but I really can't see how you would combine them, as far as I can see they would either come together on the back of the neck then would be pretty much impossible to seperate into the second hafe or you would be leaning competly the wrong way for one of the moves??? explan, at which point would you start them?
--------------------
Maybe I should change this too something abit nicer, humm no I still think your all C t

a seatrix is basicalla matrix that starts in a steve so it rolls down your arm whilst spinning then you lean and it goes into the matrix
as for the two together it was mainly just a thought but i was thinking to start the steve as u put the other stick under your armpit for the matrix so they would go across the back of your neck at different times tho i think to make it work you may have to change planes which couldbe hard and possibly do a vertical steve instead. i'll let you know more after more experimentation

You have to come over and teach me staff! You should be down Bellfield park with me - spinning - not writing about your latest move! lol

No i'm not mynci - I met up with burningoftheclavie yesterday afternoon after writing that post - and I played with her staff - I don't know what I did but I just spun it round and round anticlockwise with it in front of me, then did some thing where it weaved behind me. I don't know the technical name for what I did but I did it.
so now I'm a staff fledgling with two moves under my belt
So in your face, Lee!!!!

dude - sick is all i can say - however im not convinced that the move your doing can be named an anti turn jesus.......... mainly because the theory of the move jesus and anti turn - just isnt practically possible as that norther lady with the funny hair said
However - what your doing is still a fine ass move i just think its name needs to be differant. - i.e. "the mincey"
Written by: Mynci
oh and strugz...6 consectutive jesuses WITH witnesses... is that continuous now...
witnesses mean nothing to me unless they can do a jesus themselves  and besides - was that 6 gracefully or did you look like the tazmainian devil on speed?
Either way - i look forward to seeing your recent learnings
So far - ive learnt feck all recently - to much gig work and not enough play time 
i miss play time

Simultaneous jesus & halo with doubles. Have to admit to a bruised head and very few successes. But it's easier than I thought it would be, and can see that with skill/luck it could be done continuously.

Spoilsport. Having seen your videos I'm sure it's worth sharing. Kudos for all your efforts.
Have been playing with the move that got named the "conveyor belt" in another thread. After the elbow-wrists-elbow sequence the bent elbows can be crossed in front of the body transferring the staff back into the conveyor belt, or spun between the points of the elbows. Before I became aware of HOP I used to call this a straightjacket, although I now understand this already describes a poi move.... Anyway, been having a bit of fun doing this move in the horizontal plane above the head, seems to produce lots of random elbow spins and entrances into neck spins/matrixes ect.
Also, wanted to know if anyone else is playing with burn-offs during contact moves, I don't have access to a camera/video and would love to know what they look like!

Me and FlamingDeity shouldn't be left to our own devices....and if we are we need more than 2 staffs.
It started off with the double antispin, which went to behind the head antispins and then just went crwazy (A real typing error, but it works!)
We ended up on wall plane double antispin flower fishtails.....
I think?!  Might have been butterfly instead of flower
I admit I didn't get the fishtails with both hands, but I got it with my left!
Double antispin in wall plane is well entertaining, looks like you're rowing a boat...which is why it should be called the 'Rowboat'

I 'invented' a move (I think). Well, since I just started this whole spinning thing, I'm not so sure I did actually. Probably doing something everybody has been doing for years...
Ok.. now lets see if I can explain... and if anyone of you can tell me if there's a name for it.
Hold the staff vertical in right hand, palm inwards.
Throw it between hands keeping it vertical, no swinging, palms inwards.
Do a 1/2 (body) turn while catching the staff in the left hand, but now palm outward
Catch in right hand behind the back
Catch in left hand while doing another 1/2 body turn.
It's really simple. (if you can figure out what I mean, that is)
Love, Intala
