*edit*
so i reckon this thread will hold a record of the new things and stuff im learning along the way, all input of any kind is welcome...
*edit*
*where was I? oh yeah here, The elbow, arm, arm elbow roll*
Its simple really, I cant do it.
I've seen some real nice clips of this move (Thankyou MCP/Glass) but I still seem to be missing somthing fundamental.
So I take the staff in my right hand, bring it accross my body under my extended left elbow and roll. extend left arm and let staff roll onto right arm. Bring staff back towards body on right arm
Now here is the problem, it just stops working there, I think i might be missing an extra beat/spin or something. Or it it could be the position of my wrist. Dont ask me what my wrist is doin, it goes all wonky in a natural reaction to the feeling of the staff falling off when i start bending my right arm on the way back in,
Any ideas?
If I can get this I'll move onto to trying to combine it with a shoulder rool and a turn to get it across my back and other shoulder.
I'm hoping to put up a clip soon, not of what i cant do but of what I can, after six months it's be cool to get some HOP feedback.

im way better than meg meg is rubbbish
@ meg
can u add things like right leg staff spinning counter clockwise when u say moving the stick down ur leg is that with ur hand/controlling a roll?
"touch the staff of off the opposite leg and as it travels around lift that leg ankle first around the back of the other one" was a bit unclear

righto
its Friday evening and im in work therefore i now have time to type this
new and improved
fishtails: getting better daily. reverse completely eludes me still though. so many peeps saying this one is easier but i cannot for the life of me get more than half a one. half is enough for turning which is nice. but i'd like to be able to turn in both directions with both arms one day.
half steves: consistent (enough) from left to right. but not the other way. i wish i had two right arms.
shoulder-chest-shoulder-halo.
halo-shoulder-neck-shoulder-halo
planes are not good though stepping properly helps no end.
-------------------------------------------------------
static stuff. playing with loads and loads
simple one that i really like:
staff on hand in wheel plane (back or front) walk into the stick so it rolls but doesnt travel. get it to your neck swivel yer body 180 and walk backwards with the stick rolling in place as above.
-------------------------------------------------------
doubles - short not too light 100cm ali sticks with dowel plugged ends. 100mm wick.
now, i dont know doubles speak. i only know double speak. so im only going to say this once.
been playing with two stick for about two months now. not really stuck on anything as there is two much to learn before i figure out what im doing wrong.
so some tricks. did someone mention a doubles moves thread.. i'd like that. naming this stuff would help i reckon.
Forward/Reverse Fig 8's Same Time. Both Direction. Butterfly?
Fig 8's Split Time.
Same Direction Same Time
Same Direction Split Time. add spins as required.
Double Spins. Both Directions.
Triple Spins. Still cant get Clockwise front to back with my left arm. Even watching Simians vid I cant figure it out. Help!!!!
Waist Wraps. Both sides. One or two beats. Badly but much better in same direction with double spin on non wrapping arm spinning front to back in reverse.
Foward Fig 8's in wheel plane. When left hand has stick on right side of body. Right hand is doing a reverse under arm double spin to move the staff back and around the left side of the body in a waist wrap like move. Make sense? Didnt think so but its the only way i can explain it. Varying the height of the arms facilitates nice flower like movements.
A few badly done throws.
Passing throws RHD style. Been practising. We can just about manage half decent behind the back/head throws. Corkscrew throws work nicely high/low.
Well my day is over so i'll have to finish this later..... take care peoples....
video of all the above in january when get off my slack ass and film it.

i dont think so because the staff stops and the rolls back in the other direction.
or maybe it is, havent checked that clip in a while. surley tis some kind of fangled variation if not.
who do i have to sleep with to see your clip? will there be topless scenes like ben's?

well thats all that gets talked about doubles in general, it's true.
moves are better shown than explained, but ain't that always the truth?
Low Reverse Triplespin (in left hand)
yes, that one is really really hard. For reference, see footage of me messing it up in a really ugly way on UCOF's missinginacton video. ick...
advice - as you twist your arm up front of you, turn your body to the right.
Try it. No, that was wrong, you have to do it earlier than that! Really, you have to do it pretty early.
You should end up with your arm screwed up, your hand in the small of your back.
Now you turn your body round to the left and start untwisting your arm as it passes the plane of the body.
If you're finding it too twisty then maybe your gripping too tightly. i grip the staff between thumb and forefinger, and it can waggle about a bit. There's almost a full extra 180 of spin to be gained from just turning the staff in your grip by moving your thumb.
If you're still having problems, don't worry too much. It's not been useful to me in spinning 'prettily', and i learnt it out of geeky compulsion rather than thinking "hey, that would look good!".
About the general doubles stuff:
er, i started a [Old link], then stopped when i realised i didn't really understand how moves fit together, so i couldn't really explain it. Those pesky mythical "transitions". The patterns are fine on their own, but start trying to explain how they link together and ...
its got some basic terminology on it for ways to spin a stick, and how to describe the relative motions of sticks.
and some rambling. Alway with the rambling!
Anyway, sounds like you've learnt lots very fast. That is good.
Turn lots. Turning is good.
Also good is learning how to cross arms over and back in wheel plane with opposite directions and same directions. Opposite is easier.
For me, all figure eights with doubles have always seemed more good, much easier and more natural with constant low doublespins.
(aka shotguns aka "an extra 180 of spin in a fig 8 under the arm")
With just figure eights it feels more awkward.
Sound like you're finding the same, yes?
Something you should know: High doublespin with one hand, and a 2 beat btb-waistwrap with the other, is a classic doublesy combo. It could be described to feel like this: POW!
also, halfbeat thingies - where one end makes a circle in front of you and the other makes a circle behind. Those are good, especially when mixed with figure eights.

Cool thanks for the advice. I notice you can do the other ones with minimal contortion too. Did you get this just from practise of doing a bit of stretching n such? I still find the low forward triple spin in right hand a might stretch.
Your right though. I can see anythng usefull happening with these for now. I can get one into a turn every now and then but its usually becaue i've done to many beats by accident and need a 'get out' move.
I shall peruse your doubles thread this week and see what i can pick up. Been workin hard at transitions but am finding direction changes a real pesky pain. Only have one so far. Going for forward fig8s into an opposite direction buzzsaw and the reversing the forward one so it comes back in same time with the opposite stick. Would like to hear some more of these if anyone can help.
Turns i love very much. Cross overs im finding a bit troubles some. So far i can only get them in opposite directions (but i can do forward/reverse over/under on both sides) and at that im finding is that the arm that goes from a forward fig to a reverse on the opposite side is a bit slow coming back. I think i just need to stretch out muscle though. Like learning a reverse fig8 int he first place. Same time crossovers i cant do but i havent really devoted much time to figuring them out yet.
absolutley.
waistwraps, like some of the other moves above are sooo much fun. I love all the twisty body stuff and am workin hard to get them smooth and in plane.
any of you guys to any kind of stretches to make this type of spinning easier. I do a few myself but not enough. I was thinkin maybe a strethin thread is in order.
mcp. i found your fishtails vid. still cant do the reverse though. half of it yes but it only goes one direction. coming back the staff just fall back my forrearm towards my body. i must have the hands wrong. no rush though. it only took me six months to figure out what a fish tail was supposed to feel like. never mind actually pulling it off.
lots of double practise was had this weekend. learned some lovely butterfly stuff from faberge. lots of thread the needles and direction changes that i really dont understand,. The combo goes on for at least 30 seconds. sweeeett. explanation is hopeless though.

ok well allow me to help out here flux capacitor
a capacitor is alot like a bucket that can be filled with drops of water so as water builds up the level of water in the bucket rises then when it reachs the top it just flows over but the bucket can be emptied when u need to say throw on someone to wake them up
flux u can take to mean flow
so when a flux capacitor is charged up it is able to create a break in the singular time continum and open up a lot of cross roads to different continums
ok well allow me to help out here flux capacitor
a capacitor is alot like a bucket that can be filled with drops of water so as water builds up the level of water in the bucket rises then when it reachs the top it just flows over but the bucket can be emptied when u need to say throw on someone to wake them up

i work on a pc. that means i also get paid to post on hop, so you see it's not too bad. also survived years without a tv. a good stereo is about as hi-tech as i go.
decent sound system = happy days
well, i'm pleased to say i bonded with the twins last nite. was a little worried that i didn't take to them straight away when they were born on sunday. they felt odd. and heavier than the practise ones i'd been using, and the length was different too. but we've got that 'mother child' thing going on now at last. i'm very pleased :wiggleysmiley:

try putting the staff over your foot then doing the cartwheel to fling it up
helpful hints
1. dont cartfwheel parallel to the stick cartwheel slightly away from the stick this will ensure that it gets kicked up rather than falling off
2. try beginning with approximately 2/3 of the staff in front of you
3. arms above your head to start with in good old duck and cover fashion

Cool ben, thanks for the advice. Love that foot idea. Fling? Where doth the stick get flinged too?
We've been looking at some other variations on this too.
Not to much detail here because variation is endless. Hope it makes sense
Make to do an low reverse double spin but instead of finishing it behind your back point the leading end between your legs and start to cartwheel on the free hand. Staff goes between legs. Looks sweet as.
Hold staff in hand over head heli plane. Make for a one handed cartwheel and bring the stick down in plane and palce it on the back of your hand thats on the ground. Staff comes up on back of hand. Contact styleeeee.
Trying out some tumbles and rolls too. Diving rolls are fun. I cant help feeling like that these just dont fit into a performance though. Cartwheels and Flips yes. But to me rolling around on the ground always seems like... well... rolling around on the ground.
