Arms working independently from the lower body

Why am I not suprised that's even a better image. It has a palpable connotation of stance balance. Also, I couldn't do, "Don't slide your legs". I could do "Keep your lower body quiet.". For learning motor skills, I fair much better with a "Do!" and not a "Don't!".

Good luck to us all with lower bodies that want to make noise.

Hi Charlie. Welcome aboard!

We've got a video clip we're working to put up called Quiet Knees and Quiet Feet -- apologies to Carlos Antonio Jobim! -- with Yoda as the lead singer (as well as Driver demonstrator). It's purely homespun stuff -- but fun! -- from a student video made on a cold and gray winter's day last December. Stay tuned!

P.S. How's it coming, Bagger and Trigolt? Are we there yet?!

Now the cold winter's days are coming - any news of this long forgotten video?? I am currently doing a search on "balance" ...my forgotten Essential...and found this old thread... any of it survive the cutting room floor??

This is one of the first, of over a hundred videos we did for this site.

Trig was filming Yoda on a cold winter morning while he was having his lesson.
It was a fun, impromptu video and also another classic.

Its simply labled "Yoda-Driver" in the free videos section under Lynn Blake.

I love the line...."we generally don't like to mess with curves..."

I haven't watched this one in awhile...I am hear to tell you all that every single one of those drives was hammered.

For those new to the site...'ole Yoda can demonstrate!

Trig, can you updateon the arms swinginging independently idea that was the original theme of the thread?

Were you describing the way the pivot launches the left arm into orbit...accumulator 4 releases ...and the power package then moves with the pivot keeping up just enough to sustain pp3??

Thanks
