StaffCrazed newbie Registered: 24/06/08	Hey Guys, I was at a party and a friend of mine showed me his stick, we're both still TOTAL newbies and I was looking around the internet and I found THREE different staff DVDs I was wondering if people had seen them and could recommend which one to buy? There's the staff groove http://www.firegroove.com/Shop_DVDs.htm Contact Staff with Noel and the east coast http://www.contactarts.com/ Staff Manipulation http://www.manipulation.firestaff.net Has anyone seen these and which one is the best? I'm really keen to get started and want to get one soon thanks

Written by :StaffCrazed Staff Manipulation http://www.manipulation.firestaff.net kk... technically, never seen it, but I have watched the previews and I know I'm not alone in wanting to get my grubby lil hands on a copy of this dvd, ASAP... also, while I'm hoping to steal many of meg's secret powers, I watched the conveyor belt tutorial snippet from the dvd and it's a very indepth, detailed explanation of a basic contact move; if it's all like that, you won't go far wrong... _________________________ --pogo (pat) [forever and always]

LazyAngel random guy Registered: 29/07/04 Loc: Cambridge UK	I just bought meg's DVD: I really like it for several reasons 1) It explains the basics as well as more advanced theory 2) it covers contact, spinning, throws and doubles 3) the inspirational stuff is fantastic 4) It's actually quite funny and had me laughing out loud in a few places (some tutorial dvds can be quite dour) 5) It shows warmup exercises for the more extreme contact moves and gives some decent advice on why to warm up and how to warm up haven't seen the others yet, but from what I've seen on COL of FireGroove, I'd expect exceptional production values (is that the right word?) and the 'yoga warm up' looks quite interesting _________________________ Because ActiveAngel sounds like a feminine deodorant Like sex, I'm much more interesting in real life than online.

Noelski member Registered: 23/12/05	Staff Crazed: Actually, most of the people are people from the west coast in our dvd except the euro people ; ) Firegroovers: I like how clean and professional fire groove's dvd is. Also how it walks through a wide variety of basic staff spinning technique... MCP's Dvdee.. Ton's of instruction, some with cool animations! Win! Meg's dvd has some cutting edge inspirational bits in contact and doubles in there, amazing stuff... and super bouns!! You get to hear meg and steve's voices!!! I'll not comment about my own, but I'll say, its finished! Cheers to Instruction!
