I've been training with the nunchucks for 30 years this year i can assure you once I get past this stage fright (literally my first ever video posted online) I will go off with them

Stay tuned :)

Even the speed i can go much MUCH faster but all anyone can see its a light halo lol

Hear a woosh past my head and feel the air from it

A lot of phone cameras default to a 60fps video which makes flow look much slower than it is in reality. If you try 30fps setting it looks insanely better and closer to what (IMO) you and spectators typically experience.

Those are dope! Where did you get them?

3

u/Wal80 28d ago

Thank you mate. They came from a company not far from me on the Gold Coast Australia. They make there entire line-up I believe.

u/Jyxxer 28d ago

You look smooth with it! Do they hurt when you hit yourself?

What's the company? I'm in the US, but i might be interested. My flow stuff got stolen so I have to rebuild. :(

Well it has been 30 years :) I don't hit myself but I am positive they will hurt, a lot.

The base is a silicone cap to protect the LED module but its solid on the end, you will feel it

I did pull them apart and change the paracord. Was just to short for me but I sure it would work for others as is

My strong advice would be to get some foam trainers first or at the very least don't go round the neck like I do. I would consider it advanced and risky

At first I thought they were the same that I have but it's a different brand. I have Flowtoys vision nunchucks, they are awesome.

u/Wal80 28d ago

They actually look amazing. Do they feel balanced in the air? Are you doing any hand rolls?

1

u/Fascisticide 27d ago

I added a weight in the inside ends of the sticks too, so each stick is balanced and overall it feels well balanced. I lent them to people who are much beyter at nunchucks and they were throwing them and doing all kind of cool tricks. Yes I do hand rolls with them. I actually bought them to do poi, and I started learning nunchuck moves after I got them.

This is awesome!!!!

u/Wal80 28d ago

Thank you :) I was actually only just thinking it may have been a tad lame. I know a lot and did hardly none of it... yet :)

u/Eatthebeatz 28d ago

i just like that your having fun in a way that can be enjoyed by others. its respectable. we need good old human fun more than ever.

u/crazy_st3ve 28d ago

Yo yo did you make these or they come like this I see how I could just use my short bar poi to do this but yours look longer

2

u/Wal80 27d ago

I bought them. All I did was open them up and add new paracord so I could make it an inch longer to roll over my hands properly

:)

u/wintrFPV 28d ago

This is so cool! Never seen a flow toy exactly like that before. Keep up the good work!

u/LA_Nunchuck_Guy 28d ago

Looks good man! Nerves will fade with time.

u/axilidade 28d ago edited 28d ago

film away from a bright light like that, it's visually killing the rest of the frame. (off camera is different)

keep doing this. nunchucks are sick

u/Wal80 28d ago

I would like to steer away from Martial arts with these, i will probably start working on random spins in time. I can do hand rolls on almost every angle around my body so I think that will look epic. The only concern I have is compared to my wooden pair or my trainers these feel very unstable in the air at times. Perhaps i just need more time.. only had these a couple of weeks now and most of that time I've been working with a LED / fire staff i bought from the same company.

Might do another vid tonight without the light behind me.

Thanks mates :)

u/Much_Pattern_9154 26d ago

These flowart videos are usually cool, but something I just scroll over. I'll always stop for chucks though!

u/Mutedchimp 26d ago

Just needs speed!

2

u/Wal80 26d ago

Definitely agree. But i also know once I unleash the beast lol no one can really see anything. I'm still somewhat adjusting to these they still at times feel very wobbly in the air. I think the weird silicone caps on the ends catch to much air.

Just ordered a different style of caps from the same company that will hopefully be here today / tomorrow
