Contact Staff - Jesus Roll Tutorial: FireDrums XII

Tutorial on how to do a "Jesus Roll" for contact staff spinning by Spades.
www.SpinningSpades.com
The Jesus Roll combines a frontside and backside Halo Roll while spinning in a complete circle. You can link multiple Jesus Rolls together to spin in circles infinitely (in theory). They can be entered from a Halo Roll (at the shoulder) or an Angel Roll (from the wrist).
HAVE FUN!

how can you can teach me this in a few short hours,,,? however have been working on fishtails for weeks but just cant get it! do you or can you make one based on fishtail and basic stance/body movment contact staff is ruled by? i love and am so inspired by you and your tutorials.

[@SpinningSpades]

THANKS! Fishtails are one of the harder moves to master for sure... I won't have a chance to make more tutorials for a while, but I'll try to remember and do one on fishtails soon!

I appreciate how you broke down the move into the different steps, as well as mentioning the pivoting / direction of turning, and that it all comes down to FUN!! Great tutorial!

Hello , beginner contact staff learner here I just wanna ask how long staff is? My contact staff was handmade

[@SpinningSpades]

Contact staffs can be any length, but are usually around 4'-5.5'. I like my staffs fairly short at 4 feet so I can also incorporate faster spins.
