Getting into Contact Staff

Hi i have been doing staff for about a year now, and Im good at what i can do, i recently went to the reading festival and i met i guy who was doing contact staff and i was blown away. I cant do any contact staff, and i really want to get into it, can any1 give me some websites with lessons or videos to buy or something. ....anything would help, thanks.

I didn't know there was contact staff
I do contact juggling but staff, if i find anything i'll be sure to post it

for a start
do a search in staff
section on "contact"
that should throw up about 79 threads

i just started learning some basics of contact. most i can do is roll it over my elbows, my neck, let it spin in the small of my back and shoulder rolls. its defintely a challange to learn, but a fun one indeed!

You could just watch nix? Glass and bluecat P.s check the videos page for help as well.

You want to do contact, (insert spooky voice) oheoheoeheoehoeoheohe
Spinning is for weirdos, oheoheoehoehoeheoh

wait on second thought I'll get flamed for that, Spinning is great but contact is just really really really fun and makes people go "huh"

Couldn't agree more but I find that usually it's other spinners that get the most impressed (and indeed go "HUH???") and not a regular audience.
Throws on the other hand brings out the "WOW!!!" factor with them and of course the higher the better!

Umm contact ish cool.. yea.. i have one but not sure it can go anywhere.. wrap in your elbow and spin it over your head as you crouch down and let it go over your back? anyone see anything there?

i dunno, on fire i get a lot of "what the hell is that guy doing, thats far out..." ect and whilst throws are good, throws from and into contact moves are even better.
