The staff "I've just learned a new move" thread

BTB Fishtailes.

:],

:R

i still dont kno what a fishtail is nor how to do it

ummm, richee, you wanna explain those pls..

iim sure there are quite a few ppl who would like to know how it works..

as am i

I just learnt one today... but I don't know wht the name of it is, so I'll attempt to describe and someone might be able to enlighten me.

Pass it behind back and then spin up over head (behind back) then as it comes back down you lift your leg and pass it round the front and under the leg and you're back to near where you started (spinning behind the back). It can be repeated over and over.

phew... I really should learn the proper names for these tricks!

hi mark

that sounds like a pin wheel your doing behind your back. they are sweet.

here's a link to the staff naming moves thread that might help you out a bit

have you tried turning around while the staff is behind you? it works when your spinning it behind your head and if you do it while spinning it behind your back... loads of fun

if you wanna try something really hard, when the staff is behind you and your spinning accross try puttin the center of the staff on the back of your neck between your shoulder blades and leaving go... you can take it back off with your other hand after it rolls accross...

its contact staff. im obsessed with it at the moment

have fun...

i have trouble with all contact....

its damn fun trying though.

and yes, your more than welcome to call me ado

Contact is addictive!! I can not leave my staff down.

fun is the second word that comes to mind the first being tenderising (as in meat).

lol! contact rocks, you wanna try someting really hard...try a double fishtail in the same plane as you'd do a buzzsaw! ( i dont get it my self yet, but yet it just happened, oh that or try the matrix :P

I love the matrix. I have been trying to do it for about 2 weeks but cant control it so I can bring it up for a throat wrap. getting there tho.

How does the buzz saw work.havent figured out the handwork on that?

i only know the poi style one (with poi) but i cant do that (dont play poi :P ) ummm do one oward fig 8 and one back fig 8 (diffrent hands) but dont moe your arms, just do it with your wrists, kinda hard with long staffs tho

I just got my first Double Staff moves! Yay! I'm just so fricking extatic. I've not got the hang of it until now.

Dual fishtails without looking!

oh and i pulled off the doubles matrix - the not so easy one

but i guess i shouldnt really say that ive learnt it as ive only nailed it once,
but lets not dwell on that!

DUAL FISHTAILS

Contact staff rocks

strugz......go fnck a chicken

and get it so youcan do it al the time before anyone else does and i'll give you a bony-o, the doubles matrix of course, not the chicken thing lol

my dual fishtails have took a turn for the worst recently, no idea why i just cant do them that well anymore....need more good weather

however my continuous never ending halo turns are comming on nicely

and i'm getting some nice half matrix like stuff out of them aswell

Chicken Fnkin??

Is this a west country thing





Ill have 15 beats down for falmouth i rekon

Strugz that sounsd cool as **** they still dont work for me

woo its sunny out (ish) i can play more

raaaaaah go strugz

**posted twice because im stupid**

But while im here again it only just occured to me what the first post says......... Behind The Back fishtails......... NICE and, HOW THE?? at the same time!

hehehe cheers

but tonight i could only just do 5

i dont understand, how can you have something nice and then the following day not be able to do it as well, damn body......... need to train it more........

Ill put it down to working 16hrs today and try again tomorrow

As annoying as it can be........ contact still rocks

hehe overtraining makes it harder, i find when i practise a move for a lot intensely then leave it for a few weeks when i come back to it its much better than when i was practising it
