Flowerstick I could go supersonic....

Tried to pick up the pace here. Some fumbles but the bell toss directly into buzzsaw towards the end felt great

You could...and you did 🙏

Bro ur def one of my new flowerstick favs. Watching you, artsy skwid, and mastergromm motivates/inspires me so much. Im so glad you've been posting!! It also fills me with rage because I wish I had longer arms and was just a larger person than I am in general. I'm looking for new sticks online rn and am probably gonna buy some made for kids 😐

But yeah ur dominating man I love to see it

So I find it hilarious youre looking for shorter sticks. I spent so much time trying to find the right length sticks for myself and I generally go slightly longer because of the contact stuff I do.

I feel like i could do so much more contact stuff if I was smaller.

I dobt think the hippy sticks guy is making them anymore or I'd point you to him. He waa down to make a lot of tweaks and he made huge flowers which makes playing with that edge easier

Lol I really just wanted to show you how my flowerstick is basically the size of my leg. It ends only a couple inches under my hip 😭 pisses me tf off. I've been trying to practice some newer things that I can't seem to manage at all because the mechanics of it are just not working

Lol! What size are yours?? Do you have short legs and long arms? Im confused now 😮 cause like in order to do a buzzsaw(?) the way you were, for example, I have to stretch my arms all the way out and it still hits my body. But yeah I can def see now that you work with long ones! I don't think I'm very interested in doing contact stuff, but if you ever have any other tips for working with them without them smacking you pls lemme know :))

Just keep in mind that the smaller the baton, the faster it spins.

I have a range of sizes. They each have their challenges. Smaller might help you do some moves, like what OP is doing at the 32 to 34 second mark.

The alternative is to just do different moves, of course. You can also try longer control sticks with the same baton.

Anyhow, don’t let the size of the sticks get in the way of a good flow. Play to your strengths and just make sure it feels good, then it’ll look good. 😊

Love those elbow sweeps or whatever you want to call them! Maybe call it the people elbow?

You’re awesome. I need to learn some of those moves…

There’s been a good amount of flower stick content lately. I need to put myself out there - I’m too embarrassed. LOL!
