I am new here and new to glowsticking but I love it. I practice almost 2 hours a day for the past week but it dosent feel like I am getting any better. I keep tangling my nylon string or I keep hitting my self, so far I hit my self like 6 times in the balls. After the 3rd time I put on a cup.

Its kinda frustrating on how slow I am progressing. How long did it take you to get from knowing nothing to being decent enough to perform at a rave?

P.S. Can someone link me to a tutorial on the best way to rap the stringing to a glowstick and best way to grip it.

As for your grip, it's all about how it's comfortable for you. The strings I have right now wrap once around my middle finger and once around my index and that's it. I kinda want longer laces, though, but don't want to stretch another pair. ( I got some nice converse cotton laces too, they're comfy)

Spinning 101


This is a great tutorial that covers all the basics.


As for how long it takes to get things down all depends on the individual. Sometimes it just clicks and you learn faster and sometimes you hit a metaphorical wall that takes some time to break down. Just be patient and practice. Spinning is definitely something you have to WANT to do, and for yourself, no one else.

Edit: I remembered watching this one a while back, too. It's a good one.
How do you tie your strings?

yeah dude when i first started i must have practiced for like 4 hours a day with them but progress was slllloooooow. but youll start to get the hang of it. as long as you are committed ull do fine =) btw what moves have you got down so far?

[Cenron]

I haven't gotten any moves down. I can keep it spinning and cross them and started learning how to do the 3 beat weave.

What other basic moves should I start learning to help make it easier to learn the more complicated ones?

Thanks for the help guys.

well heres my advice on beggining learning order:

2 beat weave
3 beat weave
butterfly
windmill
fountain
maybe wraps.

That shud keep u busy for a while =)

[Cenron]

NICE! I can do the 2 beat weave lol I tagged my self in the crotch 4 times but I can kinda do it consistently lol. Thanks for the help guys.

[BlackLabel01]

I have already been laid out for a good 20 min, crying on the ground, a couple times. I learned quick I need to use a CUP!

I've hit myself in the manberries more in the past month than I have in the year before that. I don't know what the hell is going on, but it's gotta stop.
