POI THEO(R)IST

horizontal antispin rocks my socks.

forever twirling, twirling towards victory

I spunked in my friend's aquarium and the fish ate it. I love all fish. Especially the pink ones. They are my bitches. - Anon.

that horizontal halo-limbo is quite nice Tired it on saturday no problem it's like a horitontal Jesus with an extra half beat isn't it?

A couple of balls short of a full cascade... or maybe a few cards short of a deck... we'll see how this all fans out.

Yep, without the turning though. Try the four point one too, feels less forced and I reckon the staff can be made more vertical with practice.

I'll have to try some long exposure shots of the move. It should look like an anti-spin dome floating over your flailing body.

Pretty

cool, without the turn is hard though lol you are too bendy, I take it you use your shoulder to bring it back the other way....
I can't get my head around the 4 point yet, probably need to see it done but won't ask for video, I need to practice my text visualisation with staff anyway

mmm fun time at juggling soc..

sorted out backside luceros, which ended up with trying frontside/backside combos, into all sorts of things, and generally looking like i knew what i was doing

front side angels went clean, as did backside angels, and a nice vertical steve variation.

the turning angelroll thing.

doubles foot catch and throw variations (waiting in vain for strugz to turn up with the camera)

a double horizontal throw.

er....

why bother with staff, when you can learn this, instead:

Got my first proper Matrix last night!
Left the juggling club feeling elated, had a pint of Guinness, and later, whilst waiting for the bus, hooked up three Matrixes in a row!
Is there a correlation between Guinness imbibed and Matrix ability?
Perhaps it relaxed my muscles a little.

Anywho, Matrixes, yay!

Never lie down with someone who has more problems than you.

I learnt some throw variation where you do a figure 8 with 1 staff and do under the arm throws with another one, can do it both sides but am having a little difficulty linking left and right.
oh and frontside luceros they are MUCh easier than backside. and work well on a throat roll,-frontside halo-frontside lucero combi, (easier than frontside reverse that strugz has seen me try time and again

What exactly is the difference (for you!) between a frontside halo and a frontside lucero Mynci?

I ask because lucero's (to me!) are halos linked with half-fishtails at the shoulder/neck. So frontside luceros are frontside halos linked with half-fishtails at the shoulder/neck.

For me your sequence would be: Throat wrap - frontside forwards lucero's

since the first thing you have to do after the neck wrap is a half-fishtail at the shoulder to take it into the (FS)halo.

I'm still having problems with forwards luceros and reverse (FS)Luceros. Why is just reversing these moves so hard?

a) because of gravity

b) because of human body mechanics

c) cos ur gay!

getting picky in your old age, aren't you, will?

for me lucero is the action of neck pinch-transfer-neckpinch etcetc.
on bs it is naturally a halo, fs it is naturally a throat wrap.

but of course you could do the other version of both too. in which case we have

halucero
and
lucewrap



like an andre and a normal

Agree with the first bit, but throat wrap? Where are you getting that idea? That's just a throat wrap lucero. Which is easy. Frontside luceros involve linking the chest portion of the jesus with itself. Which is hard.



Interestingly linking up the snes with itself is a frontside neckwrap lucero.



Now how's that for picky?

Don't need em'.



I know the moves your talking about and I know how I classify them. It's not necessary that we agree. Just useful.



Both luceros and throat wrap luceros are backside moves to me, and extensions of the same idea. Having a different "middle bit" doesn't make them inherently different move at all.



My problem is referring to throat wrap luceros as front side luceros which are a totally different move to me, as I explained.



In my world frontside does not refer to the body part but the position of the staff. The throat may be on the anterior surface of your body but during a throat wrap lucero the staff remains on the posterior side of the body (excepting half the staff crossing over for the half-fishtail at the shoulder) hence I call it backside.



So for me "BSide is naturally a halo or throatwrap, FSide is naturally a chest halo or neckwrap".



I would agree that the concept of luceros being: neckpinch half fishtail - transfer - neckpinch half-fishtail. These coming in FSide, BSide, forwards and reverse flavors



Before you run for your books we have to agree on a common terminology first, yes?

Will..........

schweeeet

tried FS luceros last night, i have a red nose this morning....... it hurts...... soo many combinations in that lot, however i cant help but think its only "knowledgable or theoretical staffers" that will notice the many variations....... as to the untrained eye the jesus, halo, lucero combinations all look much the same.

I like knowing i know more tho

"...We don't stop playing because we get old, we get old because we stop playing......."

ok, now you're making sense.

kind of.

Holistic Spinner (I hope)

the only sense i like to make is "non"



or where you refering to that hobo, he makes sense quite alot....... bought up in a shoulin temple dont you know

"...We don't stop playing because we get old, we get old because we stop playing......."

it's the hobo i'm talking about.

you're clearly nonsense, i'm afraid.

been thinking a little this morning about elbowangel luceros.
