SoManyNinjaRobotMen , When you teach how to rotor, is the beginning bit just a step to learning how to rotor properly? And when you say "we'll add another turn in by passing it over the thumb on the second hand" at 1:16, is that when you do a proper rotor?
@robjamesjunior9 жыл бұрын
yeah, pretty much, at 1:16 you get the maximum spin for the least effort, I know rotor as a different move, but yeah.

I know this was a fad for many young people however I have just decided to do this and want to learn everything before I light a staff. People like you are saving me from being foolish in the things I will do. *Thank you very much for taking the time* to show people the basics and show me (us?) how to Be Safer. I wonder how much the local cops will freak out, and if having tons of safety measures in place will ease their concerns (large wet towel or blanket, bucket of water, fire extinguisher, hair pinned to my head, nowhere near anything flammable other than myself, etc, etc). In the middle west of the United States I must discover How Illegal this is :)

@barfitnessnz10728 жыл бұрын
does having weight at the ends of the stick play an important role in moves like these, or can they be done (By the proficient) on any stick/staff they pick up?
@robjamesjunior8 жыл бұрын
The weights on the end will give you grip and also slow the staffs 'roll'. The longer the staff the slower it will spin. I'm sure that anyone can do these moves with a broomstick (I can do these moves with a tiny 1 metre light doubles staff) I also think that doing it with something light will help your technique, however the time spent faffing with it is non proportional to the gains you get, it's also just not as fun

@robjamesjunior8 жыл бұрын
+Karen Yvonne hi both. there's things you need to consider. longer and heavier = better for contact, smaller = easier to spin. out of standard sizes I'd be tempted to go for a 1200mm /120 cm staff as it's the middle ground. if you want to play on expert get a smaller staff to start with. if you can do well with a smaller staff then when you upgrade to something bigger it'll be a lot easier.

They think I should be a busker with them. And do the staff... So I'm here :D I can already spin it side to side. Like from left hand to right and back

@Greebob1111 жыл бұрын
I would recommend measuring from the floor to your shoulders for your first staff for the best length. I bought a fire staff off home of poi and it's weighted brilliantly. It's not too heavy, but is stable enough to control properly. If you where going to buy an LED staff there is home of poi, flow toys, and others if you search google for staffs/poi/fire equipment or light toys. Hope this helps. Happy spinning :)
