Glowstringing Video
Well sorry i havent been around been busy with stuff been meaning to post lately and finally came around to it, starting off with a glowstringing video
Its kinda big in size, but first I would like to point out a few things that should differentiate some of my combos, because we all know that with glowstringing combos can be bit as per say on gs.c, Most of my sinle wrap comboes are a dime a dozen but at these point in the vids I would like to introduce a technique I first heard of and saw from a guy named KaelGotsRice of the gs.c forums. Im Really tring to differentiate myself from others, got some critisism from wes, and I feel like i just need to get away from the single wraps, even if I get new single wrap comboes it still looks like the rest of em
Duo wraps
a Few begin at 1 : 40 and continue til about 2 : 40 a few single wraps are mixed in with there but the rest are duo wraps and then some more at around 4 : 50 to 5 : 07 The general idea behind these is too wrap at one place then the another while the other is still wrapping like going opposite to bicept then to bicep or leg or arm, combinations are immense from this and maybe i can build some on that.
I would like some some new poi ideas from you guys, Ive got some from Rev, but i would also like some ideas on the term of off beat weaves if you get what those are
Thnx you
Oh yeah almost forgot here is the link

umm I said wraps inside of wraps in my wrap theory post..
and I beleive letting a wrap wrap, and then wrap around another body part is a wrap inside of a wrap.. I'm not sure what else you would call it.. so I'm sorry I fail to see how my description was not a duo or multi-wrap like you described..
I don't believe I stated just a full recoil wrap as being a duo wrap.. I may have meant a full wrap will wrap mulitple times, but I thought I made clear duo and muti were wraps on other body parts..
and his duo wraps do differntiate him.. he may not be the only one that does them.. but as you aptly put he does them and not many others do.. so what does that mean.. that means he is different from themajority.. that makes him differentiated..
he may not be unique.. but he is different..

ya i guess that description equates "wrap within wrap" with "duowrap." i must've missed or forgot after reading that part of your theory. it was a long read.
my statements were directed at L2R. not you Rev.
much like the styles discussion on Glowsticking.com.... there are things i like to encourage people to do and things to discourage. and at this instance i wish more people wouldn't add an already existent concept and call themselves unique... because they are not.
finding your own "style" without adding in more moves or concepts is more important.

For one I look at both of you guys as very apt stringers, and what wes told me made me look at my stringing and explore different parts of it, as wes said style is without just adding new moves lets say my 7 beat offbeat weave or duo wraps or whatever i do is called
.
Right now I am trying to do as you told me in the PM Rev adding horizontal wrap combos going to vertical and back and forth. Almost same combos but putting them on different planes and its been giving quite a unique look if I should say

wes- I understand what you meant.. I just wanted to clarify that what you posted was not my intention, if that was how my section on that was being read. I meant exactly as you were describing.. I think of duo and multiwraps like this..
you start with a reverse butterfly swing with the right hand..let it go under the left bicep aroun d and over, let it come donw and catch your inner left thigh and then bounce it back up which should let you wrap it around the right bicep, bounce off the neck it starts unwrap from the right bicep when it hits the outer right thigh and boucnes back around the right bicep over to the left one which bounces it back towards the right bicep.. a little pull and it zigzags through the biceps and back out..
wow that's a mouthfull.. anyway.. I don't get into these.. I like my strings just as long as they are.. and that particular combo requires more then double my current length..
anyway.. I'm not trying to argue anything here.. just trying to point out wrap within a wrap...
L2R- I look at things a little different then wes.. or a lot different.. depending on if its me interpreting wes or wes interpreting me..lol.. but I made those recomendations becaue you have good control over your wraps and your wrap positions.. I wanted to give you ideas to expand your wrap positions.. the more wraps you know and the more wrap transitions you know, the better able you are to express yourself.. think of it like forming sentences.. you can make good snetences.. you just don't a have a large vocabulary yet.. and that's what I'm trying to build.. bigger vocabulary means better expression right.. whereas wes focuses more on the construction of the sentence.. how well did you articualte yourself.. and were you just quoting, or did you write that all by yourself.. type thing.. I feel both are equal parts of expression.. just focusing on different points. its always good to have a second opinion..
one thing I learned recently is that if you get lots of different perspectives on the same thing, you get a better understanding of that thing, even if every perspective argues something different.. a way of getting to the idea without all the smoke and mirrors..

To put it as less of a mouthful: A duo wrap as rev calls it (sounds good to me!) is where 1 poi wraps round one point and then continues round to wrap another point before unwrapping from both of them.
Whereas the move you're doing and describing iseach poidoing it's own wrap independently but simultaneously.
Glowstringing Video
the duo wrap doesn't require both poi to wrap simultaneaously.. I don't really think anyone interpreted it that way.. did they? b/c I know Kael's vid, and Konrad's vid, and wes and I's discussion were all about multi-wrap point wraps.. to keep things clear..

Hey man I liked your video
I've never watched quite that style before, didnt really think about it. Like it like it 
Keep on going! One thing I must say though, something that annoyed me a little bit. Not being agro or anything, just stating an opinion like all 
Ok now that is not true. Sure, its an exisiting concept, people have done it, its nothing brand spanking new. -However-, people can be extremely unique with existing concepts by how they do it, how far they take it, how comfortable they are with it and why they do it. I mean take Matt for example. Ya watch his vids, your like oh hey cool moves, you learn them, lots of people learn them, but he is still really unique because though his moves/patterns/whatever the hell we're calling them are not anything unknown and unheard of (though quite funky but still people can do it), he has taken the concept to another level, he's comfortable with it, he does it in a way that instantly captures your attention. He's a unique spinner by far, and no one can deny that. I'm learning bucketloads of the stuff he pulls of , getting smooth at it, and in a year or so I'll be doing all he's doing but that doesnt change his uniqueness.
I'm ranting.
But what I'm getting at is that known concept or not, the way the person does it is what makes them unique. So even if you do totally single wraps just like everyone else, I've seen some glostringers that sure do it all the normal way but they do it IN such a way with such and energy and passion that you're like "woooah that guy has such a unique style"....so anyways thats just my opinion on that. It really bothered me is all. Cyas!
(and btw if I got at all agro its cause i'm super hungry right now, it is not at all at anyone, so please dont take it that way) And lufly vid, I'll be playing around with some of that soon

[quote="Rev"]the duo wrap doesn't require both poi to wrap simultaneaously...
Glowstringing Video
well not realy.. they would vaguely be double thruwraps.. but dont' confuse the issue more..
this is yet another reason why gg's stuff confuses people.. because twisties are like string based thru-wraps.. tangles and knots aren't.

Gg's stuff doesnt confuse me. And I'm not even a techie :roll:
