1. Complete and Utter Boredome....

*notes*

- for all you new stringers. When it comes to deciding what move to learn next. Just know that none of this is systematic... There is no specific order you should learn these moves in... hell, I know people who could do crazy stuff! Over the head full body straightjackets and what-not. but couldnt even do a SINGLE wrap combo! The path you take is the path you CHOOSE. Look at Bryan (LilRaverBoi) for instance. He is a poi GOD in my mind... he is freaking amazing!!! and yet he never learned to orbital!

- for all stringers. When it comes to learning a new move, a lot of the time people say it REQUIRES knowledge of certain other moves to execute. This isn't always the case... Instead of calling them REQUIRED moves, i would just say they are ASSOCIATED moves.. because knowing them will help you to learn it, but if you learn the other move first, the requireds will become easy for you to learn.. EXAMPLE - When I found out that the new move I had learned was a Waistwrap Weave, I looked into it just to be sure, and I was shocked when they said that you NEED to know the behind the back weave in order to do it... I was totally thinking in my head.. "liars!!! all of them!!! liars!!!" as i could NOT do a btb weave lol... but soon after, because of my knowledge of the waistwrap, the btb weave came easily.

I love glowstringing...

and I love you!!!!

ugh... wow.... look at the crazy shit that boredom produces...

maybe I shoud get some sleep =P

pffft don't I wish.... I'm alright, but honestly... to me, it wouldn't matter if I was the worst, or the best. Either way, I would still LOVE doin it 8D...

tell ya what though.. ask LilRaverBoi to list all the moves he knows.... you'd have a novel to read =P

that's hotty mchothot.. don;t think i coul make that list if i tried lol!! awesome brotha keep on swingin!!

**LilRaverBoi** · 07-23-08, 02:16 PM

Sweet....thanks for posting your list/order. This will likely help lots of people at various stages of learning to have some guidance on what to try. Yeah, I had a pretty extensive list once (which I still have, but it's not quite updated anymore). After a while, it just got really messy trying to name things....and is it a variation, or a new move!? Semantics, and such. I still have a list of things I'm working on perfecting and learning, but other than that, I just kinda spin.

Oh yeah....fuck orbitals!!! LOL.

**SmileBeyotch** · 07-23-08, 05:02 PM

I freakin love you Bryan... you are the shit and a half =P

**LilRaverBoi** · 07-24-08, 02:52 PM

LOL....I didn't know that was possible, but thanks!

**SmileBeyotch** · 07-25-08, 05:01 AM

oh it is... it is...

SpinnableDreamS · 07-25-08, 05:51 PM

yeah i hardcore agree with the whole whats this move called after awhile because when it breaks down to it every move breaks down to a varient of about 10 different moves like a 5 beat corckscrew is really just a 5 beat weave thats horizontal and on and on like that
