From the horses mouth

I lean enough to get a good angle at the corner shot, and I always hit it off the wall.

Weird...my name is Alan McCandless.

It works so well. I look at my hands and feet while spinning. It keeps the dizziness away until I get going fast enough that everything becomes a blur. That's usually when I can't even feel myself spinning... Though, feeling the Music is the key to everything

Are you familiar with Sufism and the Whirling Dervish?

They spin,clockwise, in a circle as a way to reach "religious ecstasy". I was wondering if you've ever experienced anything similar in the Cyr Wheel?

Ah. I've learned to spin for 20-30 minutes straight at concerts. The only reason I ever need to stop is for water. The trick that I was told was to "listen to the music" and I left the music control my spinning. Find a rhythm to pace your breathing. I find when I get completely lost in spin dancing it's as if I'm not spinning at all. More like I'm in a vortex with electricity filled light patterns washing over me...

To counter any dizziness, stop and spin the opposite direction for a few rotations. Should leave you out just fine. I gather this could be difficult in a Cyr Wheel and you probably already know this.

Thanks for the reply and best of luck to ya
