Chad's Double Staff Blog #2: Fun With Isolations

The weather didn't cooperate and it got dark outside, but I didn't feel like waiting so I moved it inside. A couple things I forgot to include as I was flying along trying to make sure I beat the time limit:

-Wheel plane non-fancy butterfly isolations and switching between them and same direction with stalls. If you understand the rest of the video, these should be cake.

-I mention that an isolation can be around any point on the staff but don't really extrapolate. Besides the wick, I'm going to say that the second most popular center of rotation to use is the point midway between your hand and the wick. This is how poi isolations work. When you isolate a poi, you rotate your hand and the wick around that center point in split time/same direction. It's the same with a staff, you just have another half of a staff tacked on there. You can freely move between centers of rotation to adjust to moving the isolation around, or perhaps to do an isolated fountain (see my first video) indoors with 8' ceilings while not hitting said ceiling.

-If you do a wheel plane, split time same direction iso with your thumbs facing the same direction, you can easily rotate the staves within the isolation to switch which ends are in the center and which ends are traveling along the circumference of the circle.

That's about all I can think of right now, enjoy!
