Re-Cocking!? - 10-12-2003, 10:38 AM

Hey,

This is a quick question about headspins with a different title cause ALL the other threads have headspin in the title too.

BUT it does pertain to my post.

So i've got headspins with no 'kick' and i have to tap every 1/2 or 3/4's of a circle. I can keep doing that forever until i get tired. I can also do about 2-3 spins without tapping with just one 'kick' at the beginning.

My problem is how to link them?

I can torque my hips at the beggining but how do i move them back into position for the next 'kick'? Basically how do i re-cock my hips so i can 'kick' them again and be able to gain momentum?

Thanks,
Wedge

please dont say anything again....besides making almost no sense, it wasnt helpful

And to the main poster.....if ur just tapping n need to tap EVERY half round, u need to understand the taps better. JUST by tapping and letting ur body do its thing u should be able to go more than half a round

As for the re-cocking of the hips, ur legs play CATCH UP....

theres actually 2 ways to do it, the most basic is to just whip ur legs as u tap, so when u go to "catch up" all u do is when u go back RE-TAP ur legs swing at the same time....there is no re-cockin in this sense

the other is when u reach ahead of urself, swing n tap, so ur legs must catch up...this is trickier

in general, u just wait for ur tap to swing ur legs...thats all the time u need




Dont bite the hand that feeds u, eventually everyone helping u will get annoyed...jesus.

Beginners giving beginners tips without understanding what they are saying is probally one of the worst ways to spread KNOWLEDGE.....which is the key to anything in life.
