I don't know, but that was awesome. I opened it to look and see what you were talking about, not that I would know it anyway lol, but I started watching it and then completely forgot what I was watching for. Just sat here watching and drooling, that Thomas is impressive.

Edit: For those of you who may be able to answer the question, the orbital is at 2:32.

Yeah man, it's one of the sickest spinning videos I have seen. Both Jon and Thommas are awesome spinners. Hope to make Thomas' london workshop.

Are you talking about trading stalls by linking hand positions over the head? A good example at 0:50

#t=0h0m50s
or my variation at 4:00

#t=0h4m00s

Awesome, thankyou

That's exactly what I ment, I can't get on youtube at the moment, but the way you described it sounds pretty much what I'm thinking off.

Edit: Exactly what I ment, looks awesome

hmm allienjon when you do yours, is it just a timing change that gives it the isolated look? i like that much more then the way i have been doing it, which is more like how nevisoul does it, but it is giving me some trouble.

T-S-A: oh and derek has a video called carry overs in the stalls section under lessions, that covers what i think your talking about.

Cheers for pointing me the right way

I thought it was, just a little peice of advice wtih those, after one hand has stalled up and chaned directions, at the point where the poi stalled down starts to move, allow the poi that was stalled up, to pause on this side as well, this will keep your poi in a straight line as they move over your head and add to the illusion that one hand is grabing or carrying the other over. The pause is very slight, but once you start to get them down, experiment alittle bit and I'm sure you will see what i mean.

That video is too good for me to watch right now.

I just watched the tutorial video, pretty much got it figured out :D, need to clean it up though. Will take that advice... I have a new found love for stalls

What I like about watching that video is that while I can't do most of that yet, I can at least understand most of what I see, and... well, I'm not saying it wouldn't take a lot of practice, but it doesn't seem some impossible, inconceivable distance beyond what I can do.

Ah, n00bish optimism...

Ooh, I've been working on these and that makes a lot of sense... That means it's time to put more scuff marks on my girlfriend's ceiling...

Naa it's not impossible to get to that skill if your willing to put the time and practice in. Bruce Lee didn't become awesome in a year
