poi-buzzsaw flowers, but taking my time over them, otherwise trying polish my other moves, and move with them better, mainly working on my transisions at the minute.

Diabolo-grinds and circular throws, particulary trying to do them round my leg without falling over.

clubs-got a simple three club cascade, just trying to get it solid now.

unicycle- given up for now, will get it out some other time when I feel like I might actually be able to do it and have somewhere to practice.

Uni + small flat + rain=very little practice time at the moment

And whether AS 2 beat weave actually has any physical meaning.





degree crossover spiral... a 2bt is a first degree and then a zero degree... the first degree is what is important because that first degree crossover is the only thing in a 2bt weave that can let you know whether its antispin or not..

Poi: There's so many I need to nail: Btb, waist wrap, hyperloops, wraps, buzzsaw, throws & isolations, but right now it's stops, rythem & flowers, to give me a bit more freedom when dancing with 'em.

Staff: Not that much since I got me a hulla! But doubles with throws & contact moves are my current irratations.

Hulla: knee lift, ankle lift, issolations, body lift with the arms inside the hoop... & other stuff that i made up & don't know the names for.

balls: one day I'll do a 3 ball cascade for more than 5 seconds!

Trapeze: getting beyond a beginer & regaining the arm strength to do a high bird's nest again (it was sooo much easier when i was 10 years old & 2 stone lighter!)

OK go me uni....

I have to say its the hardest thing ive ever tried to learn, harder than contact juggling (at least i got a few moves right away) harder than poi by a huge streak.

I got across my kitchen a couple of times, and landed on my ass once. It will do for today.

peace

mico: I can believe that: I've experimented with isolated crossers but not straightjackets! I'm thinking lots of movement in your torso?

<Coughs> Ahem.. Okay, you're all too good for me!

It's not a straightjacket (I prefer to call those 's)

It's arms folded in a kinda hip-hop stylee, iykwim.
(One over, one under)

..doing a 3-breat weave with doubles (extra turns) each side
to be specific.

I guess this is similar to what you mean by crossers?

Only thought of it on monday, last night got stealth vid'd
and it was sooo clean - I think it's a beautiful move, and
will probably be a fav for some time..

Finally I feel like I can do isolations! Hurrah!!

Now, Isolated Hugs... You gotta be kidding

(It's gonna look pretty awful, no? )
