What's the BEST way to spin a staff?

Has no one else noticed the date of the original post?

Ah - perhaps someone did what they were meant to and "Did a Durb"

Can I do you Durbs?

UCOF for future reference this is how one might conjugate the verb to Durb:

I Durb
He Durbs
They Durbled
She Double Durbled
We have been Durbed out
All the would is Durbing

I miss you Glass
*hug*

doing a durbs? you see, ive heard that reference the context of music copying, searching, coloured flames, and general sexual innuendo... im so confused as to what it means any more!!

It was meeee who revived the thread

[/evil]

Muhahahahaha

no,

[/sad]

would be the more appropriate ubb code ending.

Glåss, if you had a spare lady would you have to dance Durble bug?

and don't spin the stick - romance it (not even vaguely dodgy before anyone starts)
Elasta can show you how

ooh
romancing the staff - fond memories of bristol

Figure 8 is clearly the best :P

how many other people here spin figure 8?

I've always considered the best way to spin to be not hitting yourself(especially in the head)

I have a question concerning spinning figure 8s..

you got the forward and backward fig 8, then forwards you also have the gunshot or whatever its called where you give the staff an extra half spin at the back and then another extra at the front to it almost rolls over your shoulder (dont know if this is making sense.. if not, please disregard, cuz theres more to come)
the backwards you have the over-the-shoulder-roll as well coming from the back, but is there a way to give another half spin in the front while spinning backwards fig 8?

everyone understand? good..

i sometimes just roll it over the back of my plam its abit uncontroled but works

Stick man

The answer to your question is yes.

There are four that i know of myself.

Think about it this way. Doing a forward fig8 you do an extra half spin at the back (ont he way tot he fron of your body). It goes under your forearm. Then you do a extra half spin at the front (on the way to the back) and it goes under your forearm.

Its the same thing spinning in the other direction. Except it goes over your forearm on the way to the front and under your forearm on the way to the back.

I know i havent really explained how to do it but i think you should be able to figure it out. Let me know if you need more detail.

i'll be posting more about this later. it works in doubles with split time same direction spinning very well.

2 years later and I can safely say that I've figured out a satisfactory method for spinning.

I think the highlight would be twirling on the main stage in front of Public Domain & Ultra Sonic for the Utopia party in Sydney. 5000+ peaking ravers cheering me on! W00t!

I'm living in Brighton now... Bought a nice long stick at Camden markets the other day.. Went out in the 4 degree weather the other night on Brighton beach and gave a demo to some Swedish friends..

Hi Xorn69,

Loved your post; two years on and all
Much respect for hanging in there.
When I got my first staff, the guy said practice, and come back a star. That kept me motivated for ages. Well I practiced, and I learnt and re-learnt , finally deciding that the star was for persevering. Now, I’m into club swinging and juggling.
Cheers

The BEST way to spin will always be...
