After an awesome couple weeks hanging out with some of my favorite poi spinners on the east coast, I've gotten to learn a lot about split-time stall shifts in the style of Rastaxel. Insignia has been taking these and adding a plane-bent flourish in the middle. I showed this pattern to Baz and he came up with an over the arm stall. I added a Yuta stall shift to Baz's motion and though it looks sloppy I've been having a lot of fun with it. I think I may have prematurely christened the spherical CAP--I described it by the pattern it adds up to rather than its component pieces. With that in mind, here is a possible approach one could use to create spherical CAPs by isolating the poi heads when entering a Yuta stall switch. Finally, a couple fun double staff constructions based upon my own monkeying around and an interesting plane-bent idea Lucas showed me over the weekend. See you guys after Burning Man!
