Freestyle/Hand Raver Group

yay i jioned!

freehand is fun, never forget it!

I've been freehanding for about 8 years or so. I have taken way too much ecstasy over the years so I can be for sure exactly how long it has been. LOL. I definitely prefer liquid freehand to anything else. My opinion is that freehanding is much better (and safer) for giving personal light shows. Generally I have used chemical glowsticks that I would pick up from the Army/Navy Surplus but I just purchased some LEDs and will probably buy an assortment of different LEDs over the next couple months because there are so many kinds with different effects and I love variety.

new to the scene and looking to blow peoples minds away =D

ive been freehanidn for about 2 years and i prefer led lights much more fany tricks u can do with leds haha specially body tracers and such ^_^

woot well if anyone wants to learn how to freehand ima be posting tutials soon for most of teh freehand tricks if u guys want a particular move let me know

I myself, have been going to raves for nearly 8 years now...and I doubt I will ever tire of the music...I started out doing liquid/freehanding and have had my try at just about every other string and led light toy I could get my hands on...but when it comes down to it...freehanding will always be my favorite...either with two regular old glowsticks or just my white gloves...freehanding is, to me, a lot more expressive and less technical, if that makes sense...I'm glad to be a part of this group...Jef is the name by the way...

Fellow freehander here. Im very glad to see that there are still some people out there that enjoy freehand. Around where I live I think I may be one of the only freehanding raver. religiously anyway. I know of plenty of people who CAN freestick but i dont think that i know of anyone who makes that their main practive. Everthing now is stringing and spinning. Its unfortunate for the oldskoolers i think. What about you guys?




tWiStEd.

thats a good way to put it. Yea leds can get annoying sometimes. The soft glow of a glowstick just gives off sort of a transic euphoric vibe, and some nice light tracing effects too. I love body tracing with glowsticks, is by far my favorite thing to do.

Good to see other freehanders here. To answer your questions, I started with liquid, and that is what I am most comfortable with. I prefer sticks myself. (LEDs hurt my eyes) I don't think I would say freehanding requires more creativity, but I certainly think that it is more improvisational, rather than arranged. Sort of the "jazz" to glowstringings "classical," if that makes any sense.

Alright so my questions you guys are:How long have you been raving/freestyling, whats your prefered style, and do you prefer glowsticks, leds, or just your good ol hands? I say ive been raving for about 8 months now, but my practice is limited. I stick to a constant motion liquid style raving mostly and I usually prefer leds over anything, but hand raving and glowsticks are great too! I tend to believe that freestyle raving requires the most amount of creativeness. What do yall think?
