monkey efficiency request.
simian posted this video that's supposed to have some stalling contact sort of stuff, the link is broken, and the two links someone else posted that are supposed to be where the moves were conceived work. I want this video! can someone please send it to me or link it somewheres, or tell simian to fix his hosting!

Thanks a ton. Hopefully he wont crush both of us with a large sack of bananas and mangos.

BTW it's a cool video, ive been thinking a lot about contact stalls, although mine are more of the slippery sort of kind in the videos I could download.. but for some reason I try to follow the poi with my arm to keep some sort of momentum (a common problem of not understanding that my arms can't wrap infinatly around each other)

Huh?!? Were there contact stalls in the video?!? What is a contact stall?

ARGH! DATA THIEVES!
i am enraged!
witness the fury of my rage:
grrr
glad you liked it dude. My links aren't working now? Dammit, i hope i haven't killed Mr Chutney's bandwidth as well as my own...
Not contact stalls: Tangled stalls
i have a slippery one too, i call it my 'twisty sliding dangle tangle'. You could search HOP to read my description of what it is. i didn't put it in the video because my poi weren't slippery enough.

I thought tangles were when one poi 'body' is forming a 'nexus' with another poi 'body'.
where your's are forming a nexus with your shoulder once and stalling. In otherwards you slap the poi against your back and it stops. Id call that a contact stall, although apparently if you do a stall with the other poi infront of you in a cool sort of way.. it's negative space.
Yeah, the rest are tangle stalls.

oh right, you meant that bit
negative space refers to "making a hole and putting something through the hole".
yeah, i suppose catching it on my shoulder is kinda contact poi.
there are a stupid amount of variations of that move i was doing. You can spin with one hand through the hole you've made, stuff like that.
spiralx does a nice variation with one poi-head stalled on his head, his arm held out to his side and his forearm pointing up, so the poi body forms the top side of a square. He then exits into a butterfly hyperloop of some description. i really like it because the hole he makes has a strong visual impact. It's shaped quite regularly and it's facing the audience.

Naw, maybe when I get around to borrowing a video camera and filming some stuff. Hopefully soonish, but I keep saying that
