SO awsome. Must learn -
Date: Tue, Sep 11 2007 04:53:16
The orange-glow sticks were pretty cool. Good job for both of you though. If I ever start going to raves, I'm totally gonna get into this!

Date: Tue, Sep 11 2007 04:56:59
Their called Ultra intensity and they only last for 5 minutes, lol.
I cant get the orbital down. God i suck. -
Date: Tue, Sep 11 2007 05:02:55
Those high intensity glowsticks only last for 5 minutes? What the hell...5 minutes is not long enough at all
-
Date: Tue, Sep 11 2007 08:35:00
@K4S.. but if you can do that to a big audience it's definately worth it.
I thought this was called glowstringing. I'm guessing that they are both names for it, anyway that was pretty fo'shizz. That must take a while to get it all that smooth, good job. Awesome

This is so awesome :DD
I know some friends who are kinda in to this, I should probably ask them for more info... But, those glowsticks are attached to.. strings, wich you hold right? -

No, there are only strings when you turn the lights on, without the lights, it is only you and the magic of the sticks

I did something like this with rubber balls on strings once but it didn't have quite the same effect, I must try this. BTW, do regular glow sticks work very well?
-
Date: Sun, Sep 30 2007 01:19:16
Regular glowsticks work fine. I guess the high intensity ones are only needed when you need to showoff/perform for people.

Yeah like you said they are often used for preforming, either in videos or in person. The 5 minute title however is often misleading. Most sticks that are labeled as 5-minute high intensity glowsticks acutally last for about 15 minutes. The "5-minute" label is more supposed to denote the most intense portion of the duration of the stick. So it's really bright for 5 minutes, then meeeeeeh for the rest, supposedly. It really depends on the color. Like orange is really really really bright for 2 minutes or so, then dims to bleh for anywhere from like 8-13 minutes longer. Green is the second brightest, and stays bright for a long time. Aqua is the third brightest and will last a little less than green. Blue is the next, and lasts even less than aqua and is less bright.
The 5-minute ultra high intensity oranges are what we use for our annual "ultra circle" =D. Which I'll post in a clip later. Glowsticking is centered a bit more in person than penspinning. We have meetups very often.QUOTEYou're amazing. WOW.

Thanks! =D

Yeah I do. And your from San Francisco... You're by the land of handling lol. lis102trants, the guy who created a lot of handle moves lives pretty close, in fact we just had a meet up with 20 + people at the Metreon on august 23rd. I myself am from Oakland, and I do some handles.
You should check out the regional forum on glowsticking.com if you want to go to gatherings or something. -

hey guys, wow i havent been on these forums for a while, and i wanted to tell people about glowstringing, but i guess you guys know! haha
so i left upsb to start devoting my time to glowstringing, and im completely hooked. if you like pen spinning, trust me, you WILL get hooked. its amazingly addictive, and the sense of accomplishment learning a new trick in glowstringing/poi is amplified. you cant be narrow minded about it tho.
ill post a vid up soon once im done uploading it
edit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoV4NRPN_80...re=channel_page there im a noob so -
Date: Wed, Apr 22 2009 04:28:49
can you guys help me learn weave, the basic one. (i think its called 3 beat weave but im not sure) i can't seem to get both of my hands moving at the same time when i cross, and when i can, the sticks hit each other
.gif)
-
Date: Wed, Apr 22 2009 06:12:52
the weaves are done split time, which means the strings aren't moving at the same time, but at seperate times. Practice with one string and once you can get the pattern with one, learn the pattern with the other hand. Than learn the ENTIRE trick with both strings. Remember that one string leads, and the other follows; that'll fix the problem you have with the sticks hitting each other.
-
Date: Wed, Apr 22 2009 06:22:17
ill work on it, i think ill learn the bicept thing and orbital before weave
-
Date: Wed, Apr 22 2009 06:28:07
try not to jump ahead of yourself man.... the orbital and bicep wraps are more advanced tricks. you wont be able to use them in combos as good until you master the weave or at least your reels. im not saying dont try to learn them, its fun to mess around with, but you might find it difficult unless you know the basics. and orbitals is a hard trick as it is lol it takes a lot of practice....learn airwraps first
-
Date: Wed, Apr 22 2009 23:41:06
i agree with dark inertia.
glowsticking is like penspinning. It'll be useless if you learn a bunch of complicated tricks if you can't link them with the basic reels, weaves, etc. -
Date: Thu, Apr 23 2009 04:44:39
arn't bicep wraps just like arm wraps but your doing your biceps?
btw: when you do split time in front of yourself, do the strings have to overlap when you spin them? or are you allowed to spin it at arms length -
Date: Mon, May 11 2009 03:00:27
Here's a new glowstringing collaboration.

Date: Tue, May 12 2009 23:12:31

you got msn or a webcam or something? -

Date: Tue, Jun 9 2009 06:24:52
hey mel, can you recommend me tricks/wraps to learn before i try bustin a combo?
I find making combo's to be really hard to come up with >_>
umm i hope this isn't too much of a bother, but can you make a short video of some simple combos?
Shoot
just remembered, can you just link me to GS.C thread that'll help me get really started? I browsed the forums and i found it to be slightly unhelpful (nothing for newbie newbies.)
this might be easier to do than my first request -
Date: Fri, Oct 16 2009 15:23:26
ok i know the forum was down and we lost everything and w/e. i posted a week ago that i was going to start gsing. well i finally got some sticks yesterday and i have to say i am addicted
sooo fun
so far i can:
3 beat weave, , windmill, rev weave, fountain, spirals, duo bicep wrap, shotgun, neck trace(need to get them smooth tho) and i am learning to air wrap today(i can get them maybe 1/4 times)
the only thing is hitting yourself really hurts... especially the knuckles and ears lol
im sure if anyone on this forums tries it they will really like it^^
thnaks for inspiring me melvenorc and cadayday! -

edit: first stringing video done in the first week
mm i've come to realize glowstringing is much more combo oriented rather than trick oriented.the individual tricks aren't so hard its just creating good combos that is. -
Date: Sat, Oct 24 2009 15:06:10
small question- what length should the strings/shoe laces/ w/e be? (by the way, I think I remember someone saying using shoelaces is good, is it correct? )

mm i use 36 inch laces. and im pretty sure melvenorc12 uses 45 inch ones. but try them out and see what you prefer.
-
Date: Wed, Oct 28 2009 18:56:35
Yeah I use 45" round laces that don't stretch, but I tie them around my hand a little bit otherwise they'd be too long.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMXu0X3yisg
That pretty much shows it. The first way I show how I tie with normal two handed stringing, then I show how I tie with one handed stringing. -

Thanks for this! I had never heard of glowsticking before despite my fascination with all things manipulation and now I am eager to get started. I tried it out with some cheap dollar store glowsticks and loved it, just ordered 2 LED ones online, and I'm excited about them getting here. On a different note do you think a pen could be prepared with lights or even fire at the end? That would sure look cool

Date: Tue, Feb 2 2010 13:25:19
You could buy some real "poi" training stuff online and that will no doubt help somewhat with your technique.
Not sure, I just freehand ^___^. In which case I may use nothing or two short markers.

yeah this gave me the idea of a glowing pen too. i tried putting parts of glow in the dark stars on the end of my pen. looked pretty cool. i wanna get mini glow sticks and tape them on to the end of my pen. any one know where i can get mini glow sticks?
