Ben: All you need to do is forget your medicine and then go on a week long eating binge, worse than any pregnant womans... I mean steak with chocolate and apricot jam topping... I mean really!

"megs obsession with "difficulty of trick=quality of trick" is a bit sad and obsessive"

Putting words in my mouth. I never said contact was better, just HARDER. It's not my fault that popped into your head, freudian slips and all that....

Yes, I do think getting things clean is good. It's not my fault you've given up on contact. I haven't and I still think all my tricks can get cleaner, that's why I practise them. Furthermore I think that practising harder tricks will increase my control of the staff and lead to me cleaning up the easier tricks quicker. I particularly enjoy it cos I know I have about 20 years of spinning left to do.

Fair enough if your complaint isn't about that. Maybe thou, the internet world affects the real world and vice versa? Maybe if you started a thread about it on hop, people would go and try to learn it and teach other people it, and after a while you'd be stood there watching somebody do a variation of it?

do you mean anti-spin figure of eight or reverse figure of eight? Cos I find teaching the anti-spin one beat a hella lot easier than teaching figure of eight. Mostly cos I've done the former more.

I've already accepted that there is no mastering for me. Unless I go and live inna cave for the next ten years. (with mirrors all along the walls.)

Oh wow, so we have different views on difficulty. Way to sidestep the issue. Using yours... contact is still harder to master, and using mine, contact is still harder to 'do'.

"Ceiling of difficulty? Come outside girl, and stop looking at the world through your dirty windows "

I just cleaned my glasses!

And hell My last video consisted half and half(ish) of spinning and contact.

i think you're over generalising there. climbing mount everest might make me better at putting tents up, but far less so than actually practising putting tents up.
practicing contact doesn't make me a better closed-hand spinner, at least not to anywhere near the same extent as practicing closed-hand spinning.

I've already accepted that there is no mastering for me.


We're on the same page then. How can closed-hand spinning have a 'ceiling of difficulty' and be 'easy' if you accept that you can't master it?

 Written by:

Using yours... contact is still harder to master


Ah, not quite the same page still... No, contact is not harder to master, because there isn't a point at which you can be said to have mastered contact or spinning. Either can be taken to any level of difficulty you choose to set.

your last video was the one with fenfire and the ninja? cos i liked that one loads and loads

i miss the ninja

the ninja is a dude.

<if you're reading this steve, don't let it go to your head, you = gay>

I was talking about hard contact moves versus easy ones. (at that point.) I've already made my argument about contact moves vs spinning moves. Your rebuttal to that was : well figure of eight maybe" to which I could reply "think about it some more" but can't be bothered right now.

"I've already accepted that there is no mastering for me."

I was actually talking about contact at this point. But the point still stands, as mastery is impossible to attain. Happily I don't want to master spinning. I just want to do it well.

There are degrees of infinity. Real infinity and Integer infinity. If you could count to the 'end' of infinity, it would take you longer to count to the end of Real infinity, than integer infinity. That's how I can compare 'mastery' of spinning and contact. (and I'll bet you can guess which way round my analogy is.)

No, my last one, as the long one in tepooka and my new flat, with anime theme tune music and made for ado-p in response to his asking for it.

The full version of Complete and Utter W. will be out soon hopefully. (The teaser was just the ok bits...)

And then me and steve should be moving onto to something more sensibly silly...

oi, with the misquoting!
 Written by: me

Well, to make a figure eight as hard as an elbow fishtail i'd probably start to add variations of movement of centre of rotation, dynamic phase change (pointing the stick in different directions relative to the pattern), dynamic timing variation and dynamic crossover point manipulation. The more demanding i make the changes that i'm aiming for, the harder the move gets.


which is not really the same as
 Written by: me, apparently

well figure of eight maybe


If you have a disagreement with that first paragraph? Other than "think about it some more" that is...

bah, like you need more than figure 8.

Thats typical of your blinkered and incredibly narrow view of spinning meg. Just something to do inbetween contact eh?




from the first page, dumbo! I wasn't quoting your recent post, I was quoting that ^



Does anybody know why strugz is mooning T&B?
