Staff

So you've turned to the darkside. Let's step it up a notch in true sphercular style.

geometrical patterns with doubles

NB for later reference:
*= wick/ end of staff
/= shaft of staff
.=nothing, I had to put it in to get the right shapes so ignore it

so, I'm a big fan of playing with squares and triangles with doubles (although I'm still trying to get the hang of triangular antispin), but I happened upon an interesting idea while playing the other day:

multi staff manipulation

it's been a while since I'm supposed to post this, but I was away from Paris, lazy, and swamped with other things.
I wanted to further edit it before posting, but I couldn't find the time for it. And as I'm leaving tomorrow for one month in India, I'd better post this like it was previously edited (sketchy), rather than in late september

learning the staff

basically im new with this whole fire kind of stuff. but what im interested in is the staff. ive been trying to practice on my own but i doubt im anywhere near as good as the rest of you.

#1 ive been practising with a broom stick and i need to buy a staff but im not sure where to go and i really dont want to use the internet.

Which staff?

Hey everyone!!

I have been practicing staff for a little over a year now, and those early dyas have pretty much trashed my first staff to peices. So now its time to but a new one!!

Size of staff??

Hi im 170 cm tall and i was wonder i want to work with 1 staff only. What size should i get.

here at http://www.firetoys.co.uk/cgi-bin/acatalog/Practice_staffs.html

They sel 97 cm sticks and a 120 cm stick. What do you think i should get??

The 'What I've been working on' Thread.

Thanks to Ben-Ja-Men's evil influence, I've been working on fishtails, dual and single.

idea for doubles' manipulation: translation + isolation

So here we go for my first staff thread:
This is something I found before christmas, and that I love. :42

What's the idea:
moving your staves in a translational movement vs oneanother.
combining this with staves isolations

Staff Spherculators...

I'm on the lookout for a couple of fabulous staff swingers to help out with moderating the staff side of spherculism and do for staff pretty much what I have done for poi.

I'll add many more sections to the staff forums once I am told how to separate things up. Contact, doubles, throws, i dunno.

Where are all the contact staffers in the US?!?!

I have been doing contact for a couple of years, since i found glass's, bluecat's and meg's vids. I havent really seen much from the US, maybe im just not looking in the right places. Im hoping to find other contact staffers here to learn with/from. I LOOOOOVE all the inspirations from across the waters from all you contact staff lovelies! Wish i could get over there to lear from ya!

Staff Style Spherculism

First off I wanna point out that staff is a form of spherculism just as much as poi is a form of spherculism.

So what do you all wanna see from the staff section of the site. I hope to see it grow to at least the same size as the poi section.

I figure first off you're gonna want a full on set of tutorials right?

So how many of us have turned to the dark side?

I play with a stick sometimes, only when I can get my hands on a decent broom stick since there really isn't one in my house. Sphism/gigglesmiley
So how many more of us are there on the dark side?

ps these jedi references are pretty funny.

Sphercular Staff Tutorials?

So there's been a lot of talk about doing a full set of sphercular tutorials for staff and double staff.

Anyone be interested in that?
