Spin Combinations

Oh my! I would not even know where to begin to learn some of this stuff… It is amazing and seemingly so far-fetched. Then again, so did many other things that I learned, haha. Can you do stuff like this Kyrelle?
-
Yes, Cherished! I do love this spin, too! My rockstar spin is just passable. I look so stiff in it but it has gotten better. What a great way to invert right into a butterfly!!!
-
Heeeeck no! The oona spin is probably the craziest spin I can do lol… I really like how she went into a true grip handspring from a spin though, I would love to try that because I love true grip, but I think I'd have to handspring on my bad side…
That rockstar to butterfly looks AWESOME… need to try that one too! I wonder if I could do it… my rockstar kind of sucks lol
-
I think the rockstar looks easier than it really is!! I have wanted this spin for a while and tried it off and on. Even though I can do the motion, it doesn't look rockstar-like. I look so stiff and can't seem to make it flow, haha.

I confess I almost never spin on static pole, so I don't have much to add there, but I do love the spinning pole. All of the following are on spinning pole.
For easier transitions I like:
front hook –> back hook (can add –> inversion)
carousel –> reverse grip attitude –> quick twirl up to standing
For something harder I like:
shouldermount –> brass monkey –> eros
V inversion –> gemini –> jade.
V inversion –> gemini –> scorpio –> falling star (scorpio to scorpio) –> allegra
Cradle –> jamilla –> extended butterfly
Lately I'm working on:
V inversion –> gemini –> jade –> cradle –> no hands windmill (does anyone know how to get out of a no hands windmill gracefully? I'm thinking maybe: hands back on –> superman, but then what?)
Finally, combos I'd love to do but can't yet:
V inversion –> jade –> cradle –> chopsticks
Phoenix (reverse grip –> TG handspring)

I lovvve this spin –
Sorry I'm not too sure of the names of the moves :S the main spin is one of my favourites that I've seen Lolo Hilsum do though

Not sure what a standard windmill is, let alone without hands, but as a personal taste, I like getting out of superman by doing what I think is referred to as a “dove drop”. And from leg hold (as I’m not sure if you go into gemini or scorpio in a dove drop) I would shoulder dismount, as that’s quite a long combo :p

@CapFeb – A windmill is like a cradle spin, but with your legs extended in a straddle instead of tucked. No hands means that rather than holding onto the pole, you transfer your hands to your legs. The problem I'm having is transferring my hands back onto the pole, or finding any other way out of the position. I was thinking that if I could get my hands back on the pole, I could basically do a cradle to superman, but that's not a strong move for me, so I'm still looking for some other solution. As for how long the sequence is, the only trouble I have is that I run out of pole.

@Jellicrew, the rockstar for me is also not so easy as it looks. I still need both hands to do it. Right now I call mine the-independant-label-star-waiting-to-be-signed-spin
@Kyrelle same for my rockstar! but with the oona split under your belt you are well on your way.
