Are there any names known out there for some of the Staff twirling moves I have so far.
It would be good to have some names rather than move number 7 etc..
What are peoples thoughts on this.

Q-"What is normal?"

Hi Malcolm,
I agree that it would be easier to refer to them by names instead of numbers but beyond corkscrew and such....you got me swinging!
If there are no replies...I say make them up...any is better than none!!!!

Wicked videos for the staff (many congrats to you both!)

.....as for the moves.....
*8 something to do with basketball when they spin it on one finger (is there a technical name for this?)
*16 scarf's
*20 upchuck
*25 jedinite/warrior

Ps.....aren't moves 10 and 11 the same but just filmed from different angles (or am i being thick again? )

this may sound trite, but how about (and i haven't seen all the vids yet) using plain ol body language? i spin flat circles above my head, palm-spins, forward/backward spins (figure-eight-like things from side to side without changing hands) normal throws, front throws, flat throws, around-the-body (10/11)
thru-the-crotch, behind-passes, shoulder/wrist/hand/neck/leg rolls, snaps (when you suddenly stop the pole against a body part and change direction), behind-circles, behind-head circles etc...

malcolm, can i post pictures? if so, how? then i will send clarification if required, but these are pretty simple ways of developing names dontcha think?

umm, actually i suppose it is a bit trite.
rather call them interesting stuff like jedi-knight if people overhear performers speaking "twirlese" jargon they'll be impressed. like "Yeah, dead simple. just follow the reverse jedi-knight with the inverse ewok and break into the dropship before rolling out..." heehee. wonder what kinda smiley this 8^p produces.

cheers
