The jedi staff set.......

bump!

Woo hooo!

what a stupid thread. Lets not-argue pointlessly some more...

What do you want to not argue about? What moves are jedi? i recon gaylord, beetle and cont. headspins.
or if batton twirlers are better than us? yea i recon they are

comence not arguing

they're only better because they wear more lycra and shorter skirts
*imagines mcp in a baton twirlers outfit*
idea for a vid meg?

the gaylord isn't jedi, it's not hard enough... headspins thou, pretty jedi I reckon, with a straight medium weight staff.

I suppose I could borrow my flatmates acrobalance lycra costume... That'd give you nightmares...

The 'ultimate' roll definitely jedi...

can i be thick and say.......

ultimate roll? is that like angel roll followed by something else..

help me im as thick as Meg

well I'm not helping you now, you big thicko.

the ultimate roll has 2 variants, first one is basically a full twister (steve matrix down body to twister, then rolls up the back to second half of matrix then steve exit). Second one is the same but with a horizontal cartwheel roll instead of a twister. So basically the staff rolls round all limbs in sequence.
I called it the ultimate roll cos ive been imagining it for about 3 years and has been my ultimate goal in contact staff for a while.

I recon horizontal cartwheel rolls should be jedi on their own cos they are much harder than vertical (not that vertical is that easy either)

for a laugh I'm going to link this:

so which one did you learn then meg? red or blue?

Its an interesting concept but very similar to some other stuff ive heard, as in, there are no moves, only motions. Whatever that means, it seems to be popular on tribe.
so did you buy the book?

what book? You really think that happened? Yeah right.

I met the guy at BM, nuff said. He definately learned red, and didn't bother learning any moves either.

so could he really spin for 4 minutes with his hands handcuffed? Dont quite see how that works unless he just does turning halos and neck wraps

He doesn't say he does contact does he? I can spin for four hours with handcuffs on, with or without doing contact. Doesn't mean it's going to be interesting or novel.

He couldn't even do neck spins so I don't really know what he was on about.

sorry i forgot that spinning existed outside of contact.

So any more sugestions for jedi stooof? im bored and want to argue (sorry not argue)
Or we could make up random names and see if they exist, how about antispin full leg steve? or a crotch turning halo?

there is a nice entry to head rolls from a matrix where instead of bringing it under your arm you roll it up the underside of your arm and onto your head. Hmm maybe that should be in new moves.

Isnt a static matrix basically an antiturn matrix? And a leg matrix doesnt work cos you only have 2 legs. i think what your thinking of would be a full leg steve.

Actually maybe not cos the leg steve rolls up and down the legs, i suppose a leg matrix would kinda be like a twister that wraps both legs at the thigh.

That's certainly how I've always pictured the leg matrix working. Like the 2 beat matrix with the flat chest/back transfers.

Yay! A Theoretical staff moves thread!!!

thought of another theoretical move:
Go into a leg steve but with your legs together so the staff rolls round both legs. then with your hands holding your ankles do a backwards roll so the staff rolls down your legs onto your bum, does a spin on your bum and rolls up your back and onto your shoulders. The staff would need to spin quite slowly and roll fairly fast. I think its a 2 beat move.

sandy: sounds like a prayer leg steve... ? Not that you can really have prayer with your legs, there's no head to separate your legs... well not in my case... I wonder if you could do tricks with your feet soles together, like prayer is for your hands... get some negative space [censored] going on.

I think it would be easier if you did a static roll down the back of your arms, down your back, went into a forward roll, the staff rolls down your legs, flicks off your feet, and you catch it again on the back of your hands ready to start the whole move again...

elbow traps but with your knees must so be possible...
