"Stands" - Half way between a stall and a release

Or head stand cascade!

Christ!

I go away for a couple of days and this thread is red hot.

I'm RUBBISH at stands, I really am, I just wanted to raise awareness of the concept and try and get a standardised (see what I did there) name into the vernacular


I have played a bit with variations on hand/ arm stands in light of this thread, buthead stands scare me what with having oddball bounce juggling balls in the heads and a large oversion to pain.

I love the idea of a stands shower though. Anti-stands could also look, wicked, though I haven't played with them yet

Yep, thats the basic principle

Timing the release and controlling the handle will allow you to get more of a 'stand', ie the poi appearing to sit roughly vertical for a moment on top of your hand, but yes, thats pretty clode

Thanks for the vid

what can i say, its a great reason not to do work

though it seems to be easier to do on the same hand rather than on the other hand

[edit] the first same hand toss has the timing i think you're talking about

Dubalstar does fishtails and I've played quite a lot with wibbling the head end, I call half wibbles (from handle to head and visa versa) ibbles tee hee

i've been working on "Stand and Deliver" you do a head-stand from the side, and as its standing you catch the end and take it off the front (possibly with the other hand, still considering that one)

Must go off and play with stands.

Ibbles are wicked, i love to Ibble to head catch and spin handle end for while then ibble back to normal.

And as far as wibbling goes, the brits do it all

I can get them to stand on my head on fire, with a hoodie. These are really cool, I kinda did them before, my buddy dave showed me a while ago. Propper video is coming as always.
