apart from whats here on hop and on poi in the park (much thanx to the makers the videos have opened so many doors) i havnt been able to find any other contact twirling info anywhere. most of "contact staff" on the net is about contacting staff i know twirling has been round for ages but contact twirling doesnt seem to have been around for as long, although i could be totally wrong id be interested to hear how ppl found out about contact staffing and its origins

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourself, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous and talented? Who are you NOT to be?

I don't think mushy pea steve is a crossdresser. He is tall, tends to wear only black, has a black pony tail and is also an amazing contact juggler, as well as hooper and handstander.

yes he is also a cross dresser for fun not kinkiness i believe..he was at a friends wedding and there was a fancy dress room
all night long new and exotic bearded ladies with fantastics backsides kept appearing,its definatly the same guy.............
back to the thread would i be right in saying steve was instrumental in a lot of the early staff contact moves?
he is very modest about it but apparently he is a bit of a legend in the con tact staff world?
as for his acrylic juggling ive seen a short preview of the soon to be released beard and fullmoon contact dvd and yes he is amazing withy one massive acrylic ball,details of this video and release date will follow asap..

Yes tim, I think everybody has heard of in isolation by now.
The mushy pea name was because he ran the mushy pea juggling store in. Weather he gave it his name, or took his name from it is unknown to me.
Yes, he was instrumental. Many older school Contact Staffers would credit him with some 'instrumental' status also.

Tim, sorry I was a bit mean on my last post. It was rude. No hard feelings?
Don't be deceived by the chinese style Steve. From a glance they look like really similiar moves, but the technique behind them is quite different. I would even go as far to say knowing the one is not only not easier but detrimental to knowing the other.
From how I understand the half steve, it was inspired by the similiar contact ball trick, in which the stick gathers its momentum from raising/lowering the arm, and or turning the torso.
The chinese steve (or at least thats what I call it, I tried to find out the chinese name, but they simply refer to it as : this is the second thing you learn. Any more insistance to the name of the trick just gave me strange looks) on the other hand is more of a passive acceptance of the sticks inherent rolling momentum from the base move, which not only works as a go between for other moves but also drives the stick. The feicha's unique shape also helps in this aspect; not only can you visually see how fast the feicha is spinning from the strange shape of the head, but it also doesn't roll on its own, it would mearly just tip over.

Hmmmmm, we would need at least three cameras.... I would need to poke you a lot to give me the footage of me from play 2006, and such like... and then poke somebody to make it into a dvd, without me spending LOTS of money on a new computer...

although i know what one id prefer

Hmmm, that reminds me, I was going to make a thread on what constitutes a 'clean' contact move. But it basically boils down to: "How to make contact staff harder: Do it right."
and er, when I said a dvd, I meant one that would progress the state of spinning dvd's, in terms of quality of footage, locations, and content, much as in isolations and the scales of poi have done. (and I imagine spherculism dvd will too) not just make a video with some people spinning in a field. (no offense.)

aw dude, this thread is DERAILED.
nah, nobody gets a year to do twirling they're happy with. They get two months notice to practise what they want to put on camera, and then a weekend to capture it. Damn if you said to people you have to be happy with it, then it'd never get done. You have to be more of a facist strugz, like me.
That way you can get it done in maybe a couple of months of weekends. ( maybe less if you got people to travel to general locations.)
When are you free strugz?
Ado: do you have a camera?
Well, I imagine standing in front of a sign written in felt tip, that spells a four letter word wrong, is a retard. So you don't need to bother with that stuff.
and what's more, by the time we're ready to make a dvd, contact staff might be in a fit state for a dvd to be made...

Not to mention a fairly decent recording of the main fire show at EJC
except the bit that Anti did, coz he coundt find the manual focus. In fairness though, it took me three weeks....

sorry again for derailing thread totally my fault,
as to the dvd,i totally agree that it needs to be shot in cool locations from cool angles,otherwise it would jnust be like a hop col series video,
i also agree that whoever is in the film can only have so long to film so that it doesnt take forever to make.
would this be staff only?(i think it would be better that way)
would it include contact,spinning and numbers?
would it be posted for free download or pay to download?or dvds to sell?
people having cameras is cool but one thing about "in isolation" that makes it good is the fact broadcast quality cameras have been used(these cost serious money to buy although they can be hired a lot cheaper.
how to decide who is on the video and who isnt?
beard supported jago financially in making "in isollation"hoping to recover costs from sales of both the video and increased acrylic sales,could we find a similar method of funding?

back to the origional thread of 'is contact new?' it must have been around for ages and ages, depending on what counts as a staff, i remember years ago before i even contemplated any of this juggling stuff, carrying a log on my shoulder then letting it roll down my arm into a cradle, similarly, switching shoulders by rolling it around the neck or back if it was really heavy, these are practical, energy saving things to do when working in forestry/coppicing etc which has been around for 1000s of years and if i worked them out when i was 12 i guess others have done too...

I'm also inclined to believe that spinney staff, and contact are not new at all.
https://www.marines.com/page/usmc.jsp?pag...shRedirect=true
The USMC silent drill platoon is a modern day example of what I believe are the possible roots of contact staff. Military organizations as far back as 4000 years ago or more would have had the opportunity and the inclination to become more than proficient in manipulating spears in all sorts of ways. Add to that the huge amount of standing around waiting that all armies do, the inevitable boredom, and the competitive atmosphere of a bunch of soldiers all trying to out-do each other, never mind the desire to perfectly master one of your weapons, and you have a great recipe for some staff genii. Staff certainly fits the bill for drilling, as a way to demonstrate your armies' ability to allies and enemies, and IMHO looks a lot better than impeccably timed marching.
There's still all sorts of manipulation in various forces, setting aside the USMC, from submariners encouraged to juggle as a hobby (because of to the lack of space for exercise) to the contact manipulation of high explosive heavy artillery shells in WWI & WWII, (Take that health & safety!) and I'm sure I read somewhere about armorers manipulating cannonballs during the early days of artillery.
I don't think you could ever find out "how new/old" contact staff is. I suggest that it is something that's in the exploratory side of all of us and just requires the right circumstances to come out.
IE: Being stuck with nothing to do, and having a stick.
That's my 2p. Flame away, I have broad shoulders.
P.S. I saw Valentin Dikul do all sorts of contact with two gold cannonballs joined on a 5" diameter pole as part of a strongman act in 1990 ish.

Hmm.... we're not the only animals that play either. Its possible that contact staff pre-dates humans altogether.

hey mate,
I would check out Feicha videos if you can find them, I learned the feicha in the beijing state circus, it is the most advanced contact staff juggling that is I have seen, and has taken a year and a half of solid training to perform the feicha moves with a pool que or broom (which is what i use instead of my metal feicha that I practiced with in china, good luck and be really careful, when i was learning I popped many a nerve in my hand and wrist and was black and blue from shoulder to fingers. good luck
