It's hard to keep the momentum going with the 4 finger roll. I almost think it's not worth the effort. I've always struggled to find any real application for it. While I don't feel this videos much to look at, I do feel like I demonstrate a lot of control over the saber using aerials and finger rolls. That was really what my goal was.

That finger roll blade barrier looks nice. As to them being worth it, my favorite use of them is above the hear. It is something I picked up from CH3M15T. It lets you make a bunch of rotations far from your body, that you would not be able to do without using the finger rolls.

Thought I would stick these in here as well. I had the opportunity the evening before last to try out a different camera and a couple new fire tools. It gives you some of the moves you will be getting in the upcoming tutorial reboot series. Please keep in mind that this is behind the scenes non-choreographed practice footage. It contains some moves I do not know well yet but will have mastered before I share them with you in tutorial form. I have left the drops and bloopers in as well as the side talk. The camera I will be using on the series will be better still than this one, but this is a step up I am sure you will agree from the project video. The first video features fire saber, the second double fire saber, and the last is fire staff.

Outstanding! Looks like a lot of fun, and well done for having the guts to try some moves you haven't mastered yet. But do be careful, looks like you came close to getting a flame up your back at one point! I'm becoming sorely tempted to invest in a fire sword or two, they look great

That tabbard is leather, so the only thing at risk was a bit of hair. Still, glad I did not set my head on fire. I have seen that happen.

Figured I would post this in here as well, so it gets to sit in this timeline. This is a more or less finished version of my flying or levitating lightsaber technique. It includes five different levitation techniques. The learning curve was steep on this one, but I think I got there in the end. Hope you enjoy.

Spinning for my niece and nephew's school fair. The commentary in the background cracks me up.

One more from the same venue. I was not planning to do fire spinning, so I had to be a bit careful. As things were, I freaked out my fire safety by performing without my hair tied back.

Fixed the embedding on these. For future reference, that "your video will be located at..." link does not work right. If you go to the watch page for the video, coppy the address and remove the s from https, it will display as above. Good spinning by the way.

Nicely done and good music choice, but what connection setup are you using that allows you to go from dual sabers to a staff and back so quickly?

That is the new Ultrasabers quick connector. It is similar to a pneumatic hose connection but is MHS. Look on their main store page towards the bottom or under accessories. I think it is about $35.

Hey Venturous. Yes, it's the ultrasaber quick release coupler. Here's the same velocity as before with new members. We still have 7 others that might post some vids. At the end we string together some other drills. Hope you enjoy.
