This space is for all those funksters busy improving their technique by learning new moves - made-up or traditional.



Tell us all about it! We love hearing about our fellow poiers/staffies/misc. toyers succeeding with new things biggrin

It's just hard to keep up with it all sometimes, so if we keep it together you'll be certain to get a little feedback.



here a pat on the back in advance from me



::flash enthusiastically pats your back::

while at the glade during one of my 6 hour stewarding shifts i learnt how to do tangles that go like:

enter buzzsaw hyperloop from right,
move back to an outter hyperloop on right,
back to buzzsaw hyperloop,
then to outer hyperloop on left
then either exit or back to buzzsaw hyperloop and repeat.

Yo. Geekboy. Take that sh!t outside.

Like there's not a billion and two juggling sites to brag on.

If we're going to corrupt this thread with juggling what's next? Exam scores? New Cars? How many chicks I can pull on a Friday Night? (Note the use of British)

Or at least move it over to Staff Moves. wink

Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.

I also learnt with staff (scuze poor terminology it's all new to me) neck roll from left then it rolls down my right arm doing 180 round my forearm on the way into a palm spin above my head. If you'd seen me smile afterwards I'd 'ave blinded ya!! biggrin

Flowers - same direction as the arms and butterfly ones as well. Both a bit sloppy but now that I've got them I can smooth them out a bit. And work on trying to get the opposite direction one as well.

Butterfly weaves - now pretty much as smooth as my normal weave in everything except wall plane which is still a little weak.

Lots of other little odds and sods really that aren't moves per se but have definitely improved my spinning over the weekend smile

I can just about (as in sometimes and its really untidy) isolate a 3bt btb weave on one side!

New move, new move!!!!!!

BTB weave!

biggrin

I started off by looking for a glossary (because i only understand every other word of technicalness), and found a link to the BTB weave and decided to try!

A couple of blackeyes, and some interesting skin colour variations on my legs later, and the BTB weave was born.

It's a bit shoddy as yet - i uncross my arms too far, but i can do several repeitions before i smack either my legs, or my eye sunny
