Staff Goals for 2007

to do a matrix on TV.. hang on.. to do a decent matrix would be a good start

- Double pirouettes under contact throws
- Feicha
- Make a new staff juggling routine with some anti-spin/isolation stuff in it
- Learn some anti-spin/isolation stuff
- Doubles contact juggling combos
- Sixpack for summer
- Survive all of the above

goto uber-frog,feurkusnt and the bjc

get the four staff shower at a level where i can do nine catches with the snake and sweep((does anyone know the technical term for this bit?)) at the bottom ,on fire at night,in other words,get four staff clean enough to perform,

write a whole new section of tricks to add to my two staff routine,

get lots of work for me and others using my soon to be online website and promo dvd

clean up ,improve and perform the routine i do(pirahana sticks)with jago from full moon

co-write and start to build a new two person fire with tall pete

convince at least one person that the phrase.."more speed less control",is both inaccurate and damaging to this thing of ours(i feel a thread coming)

Yeah totally inaccurate!

The actual saying is "Faster! With less control!" thou sometimes said as: "Faster with less control!"

i will keep quiet for now,as always biting my tongue til the blood runs,
are we going to review this thread at the end of the year?????

_single fishtails
more antispins and islotions

_dual fishtails
freedom in movement through all standart directions and combinations (solid)

_3 staff throwing
just come up with combinations, variations...nothing for stage

_keep on working with david on our contactshow
_perform in an other continent than europe
_produce 2 conceptual staffvideos with david
_and yes learn steves, (full, all parts, prayer) as promised


more speed less control -perfectly right, at least in performance games in a summer full of finish sauna in vienna

- learn more interesting anti-spin variations with doubles
- create AMAZING 2-stick 2-person routine with lots of staff & person manipulation (heh heh)
- work on more unusual parts of body to manipulate staff like legs and hips
- give it some wiggle!
- improve fwd fishtails (ahem)
- mock Bastl and David for being such intimate playmates

- oh and I guess work on more contact (grumpyface)

start again from the begining with more pouncing

Practise.

I'm very good at not doing any. And therefore pants at staff.

New house may mean space in which to do this, but may also b****r up time to do it in.

'Course anyone who wants to visit and teach me stuff is most welcome, although may also get roped into tree/hedge planting, pond / veg garden digging, fencing (for once not the sword variety!), stable building, chicken feeding, manege construction, concrete removing, painting and other such entertaining tasks!

Have a working first version of a contact/fishtail show with Bastl
complete freedom of movement in the basic variations of double fishtails
Learn more anti-spin, isolations stuff (I'm such a cliche)
Have developed my contact staff system to a level where I can teach it (at least once)
Produce at least one experimental staff video
Be able to bitchslap Laura for being so cheeky, while playing contact staff

Well, as a beginner, its easy to know what my task is for 07...

* Understand.

When practing these beginner contact moves (Halo Rolls for example) I just don't understand where the staff is suppose to rest/spin. I watch the videos and read the articals, it says it rolls on your upperback and you turn with it.

HOW?!

*Learn my limited repetoire of contact moves both ways (current achievements are conveyors and SNESs)

*Total freedom of movement with closed-grip spinning (I'm still weak spinning my 'wrong way')

*Doubles, they look fab and I want to learn, so I will.

*Get to a place where good staffers are and spin, 'cause I don't know anyone around here that spins sticks at all.

yay it's warm again...i got to practice

got one of my goals '07 today!
it's 4staff shower flash to be repeted more and more..actually isn't so easy for me to continue it all so..

next step:continuos 4stf.shower!

new goal for me, continuos frontside halo's think I have the idea now

....if you mean using that wierd ass fontside stall you do, back and forward then your nuts..... my chin dont work that way, yet.

Tiz a sweet move though dude, yay for frontside face deforming staff!

Staff goal for me, more stick on stick contact and body rolls.......

I think you can easily do 2 frontsides without a stall, I think you can do 3 but the turn is a bit funny...

another goal.. to make some more staffs that suit my needs.

ahhh you talking throat wrap to frontside halo to throat wrap....

in therory you can do those all day long .....

without a nose of course

Find I need to remove my chin
