    Yeah, except you should never buy anything from passe passe. You should go straight to Gora.

      the extended arms lower the center of gravity, helping it "stick" (pun intended) to you.

      But don't drop it?

      That lets me out.

    If you search for FireDrums vids, you may see one of these in play. There was a gal there that was spinning one of these. Was interesting to watch, she was a great performer.

    Peace,

    Well that's interesting..

    I wonder if one could be made with flexible spines like hoops:-p not sure if it would mess up the effect though..

    does it make moves like the steve easier by slowing the rolling speed?

      no the steve is quite hard to do, if you get it rolling, it won't want to change its direction of rolling. That's why Gora uses lots of minimal steves and such like. Also it doesn't want to roll too much, so headspins are easier. And obviously once it is spinning, spinning object are more stable, as physics tells us, so globetrotter rolls are much easier to balance. etc etc etc...

      This all applies to solid spine's onna staff. Not to flexible ones, like the girl at FB had.

    I was lucky enough to meet gora in person at burning man and this prop blew my mind away. now it's time to hit him up at gora.hu and get one of these.

    it's strange. more "contact juggling" sort of staff moves look better than the usual vertical and horizontal spirals (which still look great with this, just more "roll around the body") looks amazing.
