Okay....(finally loaded and I'm able to view....)....the butterfly looked nice....yes, that's what it is. Other than that, you've got a great start, but keep with it and be patient. Work on that 2 beat weave....you've got left down on top....so when you're on your right side, do another rotation and switch into right hand on top...then the 3 beat weave. Don't expect it to happen in a night.....glowsticking is all about the three P's.....Patience, Practice and Persistence! Keep with it and you'll be weaving your MIND OUT!! I know you have it in you....just keep doing what you're doing....cause you're doing great!

As for orbitals....I'm the wrong person to ask....I can't do em....even after 5 years....that's my nemesis move! They look awesome, but are hard to master.....

Actually, I think I got the 3 beat weave, can you go look? its in the central forums.. Sorry, I was excited and didnt know where to put it

when you're going into an orbital from split time spinning (not the thumbsplit) you must turn your whole body 90 degrees to the left or right. If your left string goes underneath, turn to the left and vice versa. You should aim to get the strings to cross about 2 thirds down the string, so when you step, turn your body and pull the strings wind up and give you the orbital.

this is all I understand about it and I can't really do it for myself since Im a noob too XD so if its wrong, please ignore me. but still, the best way to learn is to teach, right?

im a newb just like you practice makes perfect...i got lucky with orbitals found out make sure you cross at 2/3rds split time you have to be percise about it once you feel the strings wraping you pull really tight witch will get you into the orbital then turn your body 90degrees if you want a continuance they should pull apart on there own and continue onto w/e move you want next =D idk hope this helps ohh and watch the videos over and over and over again =P alex makes great tuts for an orbital...your doing great

Actually, I just moved it to 'Glowsticking Discussion.' I try to keep the place organized....ya know? LOL. Glad you got that one down!! That's probably one of the most important moves you'll learn.

its looking good just keep practicing, if you are still having problems with hitting your sticks together, try to learn threading the needle, its basically a butterfly, but it will help so your strings don't cross too much, as for learning weaves and alot of moves I found it helped alot to take up sock poi and to make them weighted, it will really help you feel what motions you should be going through, the weight will help pull the strings around and then just let your arms flow and follow, your muscle memory will also build up much faster!

well thanks for all the input, I need to know what I should learn next though, I just got the 3bt weave down and i can do the butterfly, what should I learn next?

thats just it dude. my advice, dont worry about an orbital untill you have better string control. get some basics down first. 2 and 3 beat weaves, butterflies, thread the needle, stuff like that.

keep it up and you'll start to realize its not as ahrd as you think it is

edit:: as of new moves.. try some corkscrews and different variations of em!

[ImAnOobToGlowsticking]

alright, cool thanks
