need help with spidering - 02-21-2006, 11:44 PM

I saw a video a few months back and there was this guy tracing his body with his hand in a strobing fashion, i did some homework and apparently it is called spidering or something. I thought it looked really phat can i find out what is the idea or concept behind it and how do i start learning that move?

Well the concept is that you use one of your hands and make it like a spider crawling over your body. It is something Mr. Wiggles is credited with inventing if I'm not mistaken.

With regard to the technical aspect, it is really a spiced-up trace wave. Wherever the spider walks on your body, wave that body part and keep the wave in time at the same speed as the spider's movement. If you want you can have it start from the air and string a web down to your face and have it walk all the way down to the floor (creating a very cool wave sequence in the interim of course!) then squashing it with your other hand. In Wiggles vol. 2, he makes it crawl across the ground over to his opponent and bite that guy.

Anyway, that's the jist of it. A cool concept with room for innovation!

Thanx really appreciate it and stuff, frankly speaking i'm not sure what would constitute a bite. I thought it is only considered a bite when u carbon copy a certain move. But if spidering is a style is it still considered a bite?

Where the heck did you hear all that?

Spiders is poppin petes style. If you want to get the lowdown then buy Many Mo Styles - by Pete available from the EBs site (via wigs site).

Pete doesnt really wave it - that is not the foundation of spiders - spiders is simply the fingers, and walking them around your body like a spider. Thats what pete said anyway. If wigs waves it then thats just one of his ideas - its not necessarily biting.

I am learning bopping. Am i biting Dre? Not if i put my own flavour in - with my own angles.

Same goes for any style. As Yates described Wigs does it a little different - which means hes not biting.

ok i believe that
Pete's style is called "Spiderman Style"
and he uses TWO hands which almost all the time mirror each other.
and it's usually (from what i've seen) limited to the area of contact of your body. note, this is a STYLE.

for the case about Mr. Wiggles, it's a "spider"... he's good at animating, i hope none of you forgot... he invented alot of moves... and the "spider" is one of his trademark moves, along with the knee glide and the Wiggle Walk.
the spider he does, or at least the one i've seen him do, is one hand acting like a spider... crawling on his shoulder. he brushes it off but he climbs back on... and it jumps into his mouth and "takes over his body" then he does this sick ground move where he moves in a circular motion on all 4 limbs like a spider spinning around.

that is a move, or i should say, a routine, that he created.
