Guys, the antispin and non-turning were refering to the anti-spin non-turning horizontalish gay jesus, not the angel rolls.



Horizontal and vertical angel rolls are mechanically non-similar ignoring the obvious horiz/vert difference, so for me they're not even in the same family of moves.



I don't believe in angel rolls anyway.

@ NeonShaolin- In answer to your earlier demand for videos.... I hate making them. Plus I'm often of the opinion that videos are crap and detrimental to mine and others learning. I learn far more and am more inspired by this thread, just practising and talking to other staffers than any video I've ever watched. Other people disagree with me on this and they're entitled to be wrong of course.



But since it's you asking I'll get on it (Claudio's ass that is wink ).

I suppose it makes sense for people who are already up on the terminology but for staff newbies like myself who haven't yet absorbed the innate understanding of the descript of moves in purely written medium it can get quite confusing... Besides, I'm a visualist... smile hug

don't worry dave, I sometimes suspect they are just making stuff up to sound clever wink except strugz... he's not clever (see his last post ubblol )



as I don't know what a gay jesus is (appart from that picture of him starting off in the village peoples YMCA) I can't see how you do a jesus without turning??? I imagine something like the continous angel rolls that LOOK like jesuses but aren't in the lab 5?? video with chrono and strugz.



But hell what do I know I'm shite at staff biggrin

um.

can i suggest that the general level of posting in this thread over the past page or two has made people not post in it - it's supposed to be a place where people can be pleased about what they've just learned, not a slagging match (even if i know you're all just being freindly, its a bit daunting i imagine, if you don't know you all)

shrug

so, please remain on topic. ta.

non-wrapping wraps (thanks, jay, nearly a year since you showed me them....). essentially, isolating a staff round a point as if it were contacting on you, but its not.



not nearly as exciting as it sounded without the explanation wink

well if you get to spoil our fun mr bluecat, I think I'm going to do some fun spoilage.



If you post a move that you've learned that you know people won't know what it is / won't know about, you have to post a decent description of it.



You can't just say: I learned to do supernatural jesus's with triple doppelgangers.



Cos that's useless. And gay.

sweet. that wasnt quite how i pictured it, i was thinking it had a front side halo from the chest roll but i think your version is better. gonna learn that one instead.

Just came up with a new one tonight: front side min steve to wings horizontal angel but without wrist proppelors. So basically you do the min steve and turn 180 with the staff and roll back to the h. angel

picked up doubles for the first time in over a year... poi seems to have helped teach me a butterfly weave (tq moggin doubles basics a few years ago too... some things starting to sink in... ubbrollsmile )

and even managed to get the hang of uber basic movement (tho my brain still hurt with 1 bt turning with sticks at shoulder and butterfly waistwrap turning things too frown )

even remembered some throwing stuff (tq magical antti workshops)

hey there you lot biggrin



been practising all manner of anti-spin goodness like a mo-fo (pardon my abbrieviated profanities) since i got back from edinburgh. had sort of learnt some of it at the ejc but hadn't really worked at it till i spent time emersed amongst all that double-stickiness in meg's playroom biggrin biggrin biggrin



moving into a new place this weekend where me & my new flatmate are going to have a workshop/playspace the same size as yours meg (with ridiculously high ceilings!bounce ) & i've been blagging / scabbing / acquiring a fab selection of mirrors with which i can cover one wall, hee hee!!!



hmmmm... maybe this is too much info for the "new move's" thread but it's 4.10am & i'm sitting here drinking cider so ...mehhhh.... nana



L peace

My mind not only wanders, it sometimes leaves completely smile

hi. its probably olready a move but i figured out like spin the staff in one hand at your right hand side until its in the bend of your arm (in front of your elbow) then leen forwards and let the staff spin on your back and catch it with your left hand when it falls off

is that in wheel plane? think i get what you mean if it is. Try turning to your left once its on your back and you will do a halo roll as well (if you are doing what i think you are doing smile)

Has anyone done back-to-back continuous steve-passes?

Basically two people (preferably of same height) stand back-to-have, staff rolls down Person A's right arm and carries on onto person B's left arm. Perhaps with a helicopter by one or both parties as a transition and carry on?

Horizontal anti-spin may be the most pointless thing ever...

Anyways, the full-neck-anti-wrap thing in the video is three pointed anti-spin. Learnt the four pointed version with two "steps" across the back.

There are others but it seems that a nice way of controlling horizontally anti-spun contact is letting the staff "step" from one 3/4 grip point to the other. Lots of horizontal conveyor stuff can work like this as does Megs origami shenanigans.

It's horribly no-plane, though this stuff might look good if the staff was well controlled and isolated.

nice, origami should make it a bit less back breaking.

I did think it passing that it should step on your shoulders rather than twice on the front / once on the back. but I'm not sure if I could get my head out of the way enough when it's stepping on my shoulders... something to find out tonight I guess.

The extra step across the shoulders actually makes it loads easier. Putting theses extra "steps" into the substitution matrix works well too, makes it much easier to do without turning.

New move/sequence for me:-

neck lock-roll down front into hip lock-hop staff across onto opposite leg and hip lock- lean back and roll staff into neck lock

By leaning forwards and giving a donkey kick I can sometimes get the staff from a hip lock across the small of my back and into the opposite hip lock.

Feels a bit staff hackysack really...
