Is he wearing two pairs of underpants?  Those crazy black chaps with their crazy fashions. What next? Wearing their hats backwards? Maybe even not wearing a hat! Imagine that! Not wearing a hat..! oh the insanity....!

MCP - RE Bo Staff vid.
That's a shocker! Is he really trying to teach people or is he just showing off that he can spin it fast...
When I teach the exact same moves, it always helps to keep the speed slow for several days to get the action smooth.
Speeding it up just messes up the pattern and makes it muchg harder to get consistsently (and then speed if you want) later.
This guy doesn't even explain what he is saying or doing, just, like, make sure you are grabbing and pushing grabbing and pushing...
Makes me think Art of Staff isn't too bad despite it's age...

they cost a lot.
like at least £500 pound. Contact a circus school, they should know some people... either that or the guy that originally did it, Daniel Cyr... he works for Cirque Eloize..

I don't see why they should be so expensive aside from they're a super specialized tool... Looks just like a big hoop though with nothing else... Aluminum or steel, 6' - 6.5' diameter, 1.5" - 2" tubing?? Probably wouldn't cost so much if you could find the materials and tools to make it yourself. I don't think it has any sort of handles - looks like hes just grabbing hold though I wonder how he does the rolls without cutting off his fingers hehe.

yeah that expensive. Considering it needs to be a perfect circle, so you have to get a decent metal bender, who can do that size of bend. It has to be sized to the individual, it should be made of ALI, cos steel would be super heavy, and since there's no way of shipping a hoop of that size, you have to buy a break down 5 piece version, it needs specialised well fitting joints that are probably welded in, as well as a pvc skin on it. 500 is like a pretty normal price.
Yeah... I did learn it a little, but my roue needs joints added and a skin now... so we need to find another metal bender and welder... more money...
