really cool move that Myself and one of my juggly friends discovered is that when one person juggles, with every fourth throw a high one, the staff twirler can stand behind them and do a single helicopter between the hight throw. looks great

I was trying this move with a friend of mine yesterday. You stand 2,5 feet apart facing each other, slightly off-center so your right shoulders are opposite each other. You each make outward figures of eight arround your right side, timed simultaneously. Now coming to the front, move your arm inward and forward, timed so the staffs cross when they're vertical (otherwise they'll collide). Let your staff roll over your partners fore-arm and then move your hand inward to catch the staff rolling over your own fore-arm and then pass it behind your back. Take a step to the right and repeat the process with your left hands.
It's very tricky timing, but it's a great move.

another that would be well worth a shot and i know ignus and i tried it, with little success might i add due to the lack of timing, is the following..

again, face each other about a meter apart, one with doubles doing figure of 8s outwards, the other with no staffs.. then as one hand (lets say right) comes round to the front, the person facing you takes it over with their left hand just as you are about to bring it back again, and the left hand follows similarly so the other grabs it with his/her right, and then pass them back again.. not as much timing is involved as in the previous post, but a more accuracy when grabbing the staff..

any new ideas?

my friend and i pass round the back of each other in various ways and i do a cartwheel type thingacross his back holding my staff whilst he weedwhacks..

he also does capoeira but i cant find any classes near me so any tips involving that would be welcome.
