Tangles Galore! (hyperloop\airwrap links)

No?

No-one?

holidays are tempting, but no...
nice post on tribe though (except the little calling-people-silly-names-competition), at least it confirmed my suspicions about some people's discussion-skills... I'm quite tempted to keep following the debate though I think it might be best to leave it alone, doesn't look like it's gonna get productive anytime soon!
But thanks so much for reviving that thread!! I should've durbsed for it, but it seems I'm lucky

"except the little calling-people-silly-names-competition"

Fruitloop :P

"at least it confirmed my suspicions about some people's discussion-skills"
Oh..bum. Im not usually that bad.. oh wait.. no.. honestly.. Im not usually that bad. Honest!

can we make "to durbse" a new verb, or is it one already? I've never met Durbs, but durbsing sounds cool to me.

Unfortunately, HoP doesn't rush to vid everytime something comes out. Kids in London have been hyperlooping for years before I ever saw it on video.

I'd bet you could find some threads from way before the first video was posted.

I know that Glass and them were doin' it back in the day. And those guys are vampires when it comes to showing up on film.

well, i was a late starter with poi (first picked them up around 2002) but for what its worth, the first time i personally heard of a 'hyperloop' was here.

i first saw a hyperloop on a video called 'drew & stick' (produced and performed by glass from this board - it was a stick video and only had two poi moves in it!).
my friend jonnny worked out how to do them from that video and subsequently taught me

i can't remember where i first saw airwraps but i definitely learnt what was termed a 'hyperloop' before i learnt general airwrap theory.
i discovered a lot of what i know about tangles for myself (misunderstanding of a maxi plus led me to buzzsaw hyperloops and beyond) and from discussions here ( glass arashi dantana).

i don't think anyone here would ever claim to have been the first to do this type of move though - possession or orignation are not what dom's quote is about.

well, according to the article on HoP. the word "hyperloop" was first used in October 2002. were there any reference before that?

I'd assume not.

If you want to know what Glass was on about at the time, you could always ask him.

Glass was the first guy to talk hyperloop theory to me back in the day, but I was very late on the scene.

Not sure where this is going.... keep in mind there was a HoP board before this one too... but I think if you asked some of the old timers directly, they'd tell you.

Or perhaps dodge the question with a series of lovable smiley faces.

i been around HoP since the beginning of 2002, and i do not remember seeing anything about hyperloops and/or airwraps before then. i just wanted to ask to make sure i didn't miss anything.

I know I didn't see many at EJC 2002 (Bremen).

That's when Glass showed me isolations and some wacky butterfly variants... which I just now figured out.

I find it a bit funny how how up in the air the tangler origins are.

I could have sworn that when the hyperloop stuff first started happening on HoP (I was more active in the boards then) that I'd already seen yo-yo people doing it. I'll try and see if I can dig up when the yo-yo players started to do it, but I think there's some confusion on who did it first and/or whether they learned it from somewhere else.

One person I was just talking to thinks that Kazuyuiki Sugimatsu may have been the first yo-yo person to start doing it around 2000. He's going to e-mail Kazu and ask him if he learned it from somewhere/one in particular.

A different yo-yo player says he's pretty sure he saw it being done by a poi person before 2000, possibly at a US juggling convention (oh what irony that would be..heh).

There might not be any way to really track the exact roots of it at this point. Not that it matters much in the end, though it is kind of nice to know for historical purposes.

HUWUZZAHYPERLOOP?

Fascinating Fact

Chief Sitting Bull was originally named "Jumping Badger."

Among some American Indian tribes, it was customary to give newborn males temporary names. The names were changed later, as the boys developed character and showed courage in manhood.

If the chinese made them up thousands of years ago and locked them away in the shaolin sock drawer does that mean my spork is smaller? and does load capacity effect the killing properties of abovementioned eating utensil/disembowlment apparatus? will we ever know?

"disembowlment" apparatus!
now THAT'S a funny typo.

I bring tragic news.

Mary's potatoes have grown to astronomical sized proportions.

Here is a picture taken not moments ago:


It was in fact taken in 1999, as you can clearly see.

Dr. Masaru Emoto estimates that if the potatoes continue to grow at this rate, they will cover all of south west Melton Mobray by the year 3000.

Flee now. Run for your lives. The potatoes are coming.....

*bump* as I'm on a mission to rate some threads

so someone can send me links or videos of "HYPERLOOP",i don't know whay it means , and i wanna learn it!!

Start with the first page of this discussion and you find a lot ,
light,
:R

any body got any advice on me getting my hyperloops to do more than 3 beats cos they just seem to get tangled up after that or just come apart as they should but too early
