orbs

cut from my post on hop

Quote:
step 1- clockwise circle.. catch the poi with the left poi on top of the right hand and the right poi under (palm) of the left hand...

step 2- throw it into a horizontal orbital by throwing the poi on the right hand towards you.. and the poi in hte left hand away from you.. thr resulting orbital spins clockwise with the left hand on top and the right on bottom..

step 3- bring your left hand down to 9:00 (left side, maybe a little lower) and the right hand up to 3:00 (right side, maybe just a hair higher) and watch it turn...

you don't have to follow these steps.. this is just to get a clean setup that you can practice from pretty regularly.. These are just the steps I found that help teach it the easiest..

heavy poi can use either this method or the method from my much older tanlge turn clip.. unfortunately because of the weight of the glowsticks, you don't get as much torque, and thus have to turn the axis they wind around.. which gets the same effect, just coming at it from a different angle... weightier poi you can manipualte the m, lighter poi you need to focus more on the a.. though their are exceptions on both sides (you can crank a glowstick airwrap because the diameter is larger so you can target more on the m of the glowstick, and since with an orbital the a of heavier poi is much higher you can inturn use this method on heavier poi) *sigh* sorry.. just thought I'd interject that in there before people started raising questions about 'differences in mediums again.. :meditate:

so yeah here's a 2d orb.. once you get better control and some longer orbitals you can get it to turn more axi (thus higher d orbs).. enjoy... the 'proof' courtesy of cleric.. he's the man.. glad some people out there still pay attention to what I say..

hope you guys enjoy..

peace..

yea man, thats kinbd of what i was playing with when i was chatting about throwing into a hyperloop, except that i already had the poi in a nexus before throwing. will be testing that out later tho. ta.
peace

yeah link catches are commonly thrown into orbitals.. makes an awesome way to practice the moves I think..
