I could use a little help figuring out a spirl wrap above the head. I've got it down ok in wall plane, but when I try to do it above my head it...Well, it just dies! It comes together ok, its just the 'unwinding' that fails.

they are quite difficult.
I find you have to go in with a bit more velocity, so they unwrap a little bit by themselves, then you just nudge em in the right direction

Hmm... my tips

start separating your hands after the wrap is wrapped... give a nudge in the oppisite way that they are wrapping. And when you get into them from the weave bring the wrap close to your body and push out into it..

Sprial Wrap Lesson DMP

This one is a glow sticker but you can see that separation move he uses to help them unravel..

Sorry that's all I can find atm.

Good luck Smile

How is the move going? Any more luck?
