Made in september. Badly as per usual.
A very very very big video, that I haven't had time to chop up or make smaller yet. And won't for the next two weeks. It's the fourth in the illegal/stolen/borrowed spinning series. And it's definatly the best one I think.
It features fred astaire, break dancing, jackie chan and some very weird contact. As well as other bits and bobs, as ever.
https://videos.tepookatoys.com/media/illicit.wmv ~ 220mb
Yes, it is HUGE. But fred astaire, I mean, how can you compress him? He's not even doing cane manipulation...

There have been about twenty on something new videos added over the past couple of weeks, but I'll leave you to ferret them out.
this is my main reason for posting here:
This list represents what I consider 'base' contact movements. Most other moves are combinationsof this moves, variations, or these movements transfered to a different plane. These moves can be broken down into their component parts, but the way I present them here is as symmetrical (hopefully) movements. So for instance you can end a SNES with a vertical steve arm roll, but you'd break the symmetry of the SNES, so I don't present that here.
They are in rough order of difficulty and impressiveness. It all depends on how you learn thou.

To be honest I didn't really like that vid. I think alot of the moves have the potenial to look nice when they are performed smoothly and the few which were smooth did look really nice.
The contact stuff (although impresses) didn't do it for me either, too broken up greeky moves not enough flowing combinations of what looks good (fun to play about with but not the sort of stuff I like on vids). Still there were moments were it worked.
Anyway thats just my opinon. still think your spinning grate just this vid aint going in my favourite
Maybe I should change this too something abit nicer, humm no I still think your all C

yes that's my opinion too now. I thought it was obvious by now that 'trick' is a dirty word.
oh no wait, that's not a joke.
I was sick of this video by the time I finished it. I quite like the new spinny stuff though. I think I'm getting to the almost sick of contact phase. So that probably means I should go practise more...

Hey mcp,
I've just got into contact after spinning non-contact with a crappy old broomstick for ages. And guess what? It's all your fault for posting such a huge array of cool moves for me to wish I could do :P (I spent a while browsing your website a while back)
And as for the latest video: I agree with NYC that the first bit looked kinda awkward, but I though the second half was great. Love the vertical half-steve + the matrix variations + ... well lots of stuff.
And that ending just made me laugh
I think I could do that move too... Nice work!~Chris.

No Meg the lens did not make your belly look any bigger than normal
Sweeet ass stuff - most of which ive been playing with already - you do frontside angel rolls differant to Sandy tho? as for the reverse reyouts - fecking smooth, well done.
Most inspired trick there for me that i never thought of before - frontside horizontal steve
why oh why did i not think of that before - and its eezy too! Thank you 
- opens up more matrix variations that one. Try the "stevetrix" frontside - damn its hard Thanks for posting yet another inspiring video........
But even bigger thanks to Ado-p for being a dumbass
and making you make the vid in the first place

nobody gets to see 1.0 and 2.0. Muhahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ... aaaaaaaaa
ah.
C42f: Yeah I call that move: "Postmodern expansion with a temperamental wind gust following falling stick."
strugz: it's not a frontside angel, it's related but not one.
Reverse layouts are much easier than real layouts. I've got to work on keeping my palm pointing upward. Reverse is just like: half angel roll, bailout into elbow wrap...
I don't get to spin anything but my routine anymore...

Well I can dance, I just haven't worked out how to do it with a staff in my hand yet... I might go off and learn how to ponce like japanese rythmic gymnasts, and pretend that that is dancing.
thou as you can see, I have been pretending I'm a glowsticker and tying myselve up in knots.

You could always pretend your staff is really hot (in the cute sense of the word) and that you're contact dancing with it?
Or something
Either way... wiggle woman, dammit
Glowsticking? Puh, what are you? American?

Ahhhh... splendid (the Japanese bit, I mean)
Looking forward to seeing it... (again, the dancing, as opposed to your choice of tassley underwear
) You going to Paris? Hope so missus.
Time for some uber-poncey poseiness. Hurrah.

Happy Beltane Meg.. Love your vids. When will i get to see a performance routine instead of "only" endless innovation in tricks?? Oh wait. I'll see you in person this summer for sure. I'll show you mine if you show me yours.
