Spiralx, no one is saying don't do a move if it adds to the flow. It is more of a "don't expect a resounding reaction for it" type thing. No where has anyone said that things must always be tech or must always be basic or "absolutely don't do this". It is up to the spinner completely. The audience will react to whatever moves them.
Again, it is up to each performer.

I think I will now return to my rule of not posting in these areas and leave you all to it.
I want to say this is also why I don't submit videos or spin for other spinners. Too much criticism and emphasis on what everyone feels should be done instead of appreciation for how it is presented. I love what I do and am very passionate about performing and I don't appreciate being asked for an OPINION and then ripped apart for expressing it (this is not to all those who just expressed a differing opinion, I completely respect that you have different experiences with different audiences and a *very* different style of spinning from me, which is where your opinion comes from).

I totally agree with blue there, tech moves for staff are a must for performance, i think standard staff looks really booring but contact never fails to get a "look at that crazy guy, lets watch to see if he burns himself.... omg! how did he do that!"

I think the difference between that and your average performer doing difficult stuff is that he was incredibly stylish and had everything really down well. I think a lot of technical performers sacrifice flow for discrete incredibly difficult moves. Personally I think for performance flowing movements should be valued way above technical tricks, but if you can do both, then you look even better.

Sometimes it's more visually appealing to see smooth, slow, non-techy movements.

and an audience needs non-tech to break up the "ahhhhh what's going on" factor.
