I can imagine you jumping from side to side in a Rastelli stylee  I think you should do that for all your tricks.

I agree it would be amusing but 5 staff mills  how about 4 though  the problems with staff is the width of the pattern even a boston mess would be a bit tricky with all staffs face on.

well, i don't reckon a 4 staff mills (or even a 5) need be any wider than a three - a 5 ball mills has the same catching width as a 3 ball mills when done really well.
hm i disagree, five ball mills is a "bit" broader than a 3 ball mills, just because there are more objects going up and down, which need their own thickness more space... staffs are a bit broader than staffs (especially in wall plane)....so i still think the pattern would be broader...even i donīt want to attemt it, otherwise there are hyperlights now 
um.. no - a really good 5 ball mills has all the balls landing essentially in the middle of the pattern - they don't need any extra space cause they all come down at different times. they are thrown from a little wider, it's true, but...
not that i'm saying 5 staffs would be easy... i did have a quick go at 4 staff mills last night to see what could be done, and managed 6 catches, but my left had doesn't like the pattern change (inside to outside) so i don't reckon i'll be getting it any time soon.

I would have thought the pattern for 5 would have to be 2 staff widths plus a gap to allow space for rotation. minus the distance from the wick to the grip x 2 (starting to sound mathematical like richee now  )

I take it then they are not wooden cored and the foam is designed to take the impact if dropped.. nice  *looks for foam in southampton*

they are hollow alu tube cores, and the foam is insulating foam for pipes, available in Bee and Coo.

Hey Tim,
I really like the ideas you've got with the footwork, but I think you really should try learning to catch them in the air, or to kick them up before they actually touch the floor. Probably will never work with the stepping over trick (such a shame really), but the rest of them should all be possible. Otherwise you'll be seriously restricted where you can use any of them depending on what kind of floor you're playing on, and having to skip them all would just suck.
It'll be a lot harder in the beginning, but worth it. Especially cause then you can kick them up immediatly which has a lot more dynamic.
