er... cos vertical ones are faster and tend to fall off quicker? Have you got the centerpoint in the right place, and you're not just throwing it over your neck?



glass: Well I would like to think I had done some of those things: "Sometimes "catch" is a naughty word" and: " Correct position of hand, arm, or elbow Balance point of baton"

thou maybe not: "Maintain a positive attitude when teaching rolls" and "Break the roll down into its elements so that the athlete has a complete understanding of what will make it work."

I think maybe you are taking elements to a lower level than I am. I would have 'assumed' those elements were the two elbow wraps and the hand transfer in between. (I'm sure you know the movement I'm talking about) I take it you would break it down further?

Anyway, I'm not training atheletes, I'm training HIPPIES!

Oh is it? I thought it was that it rolled down my arm instead of just wrapping my shoulder.

>You should search harder or think more sideways. there are loads more

this is the kind of annoying gimpiness that annoys me. Examples, explainations? Or just annoying silence?

I know maybe five times the amount of movements that are shown in those videos. But I would decribe them all using names from those videos. (Or in reference to them) (apart from the lynx, but maybe I would refer to the elbow wrap...) Hmmm, maybe pinches could be added....

look! I gave you a nice gif to examine!

I mean Really!

analogy:

"Hey I keep falling off my bike! What do I need to do different?"

"grow some arms and legs! You can't ride a bike without them."

y'know? Anything could be wrong, how am I supposed to telepathically understand what's you're doing wrong, when you're only description is that it's going wrong? no offense like.

Oh and I might add Kathy Forsythe can kiss my ass!

I'm rather disenchanted now...
and your lot made my staff - maybe you jinxed it!

but seriously - i think i'm spinning it too fast. should i slow down? or spin faster - for that element of danger?

you don't have to reply to that, i'm just talking jobbies again.

*looks at gif intently*

*rises above it*

I like your matrix tutorial...my mate simon put in a 180 degree turn between each half of the matrix...some times it looks bloody good. because of the way the body turns away from the stick seems to prolong the rotations

lol,

if you ever get out spinning miss tinkle I will teach you old school style.

no need to go as far south as edinburgh to recive serious bruising...

tho megs bruising is more impressive, its cos she hits herself with buildings as well as sticks.
