Dragon isn't really a dragon. He's just pretending.

[Old link]



the usual suspects, offering "helpful nuggets"...

[Old link]



The UN have declared that 'Fluffy Napalm' is a 'Weapon of Fluffy Destruction', and it's use is therefore a flagrant breach of basic pixie rights.

[Old link]

This thread is pretty definitive, and Glass is a 'little bunny sandwich'

[Old link]





BEHIND THE BACK 5BEAT WEAVE



Good advice, a debate about names and soft drug references? What more could you asK???

The list was cut down from my original one i posted, removing threads that were less helpful, or just duplicated advice from the other threads.



this post originally went like THIS:



Hi there



i've been thinking it'd be nice if this forum had a list of the best threads about the most commonly asked about moves (The Weave, Windmill, BTB Weave, 5bt weave, all the stuff from the HOP lessons, etc...)



i've been thinking it'd be really nice if people asking about moves were given a helpful place to go to, rather than being curtly told to "Do a Search".



The search function can be quite helpful, but it's really hard to find the most useful and relevant threads, particularly when they involve extremely common subject matter.



i don't reckon this list would stop people asking about the same old moves, but it would give us a set location to direct people to, and a set location for new advice to be offered.



So if people could post links here to really helpful advice threads about common moves then they'd make me a happy monkey



I think that ones that link to other relevant threads are particularly useful:

like Dragon07's great post in this [Old link]

(i know coleman did some similar helpful linking in a 5beat weave thread recently. i've been searching for it for 15 minutes now and i can't find it Anyone know where it is?)



So, all suggestions for good move advice threads will be most gratefully accepted. Now i'm off to trawl the most deepy deepest depths of this Forum looking for advice on how to do the weave. Smoke me a kipper...

"Switching between different kinds of chuu chuu sometimes gives this "urgh wtf?" effect because it's giving people the phi phenomenon."
