Ok... I've been practicing a lot of behind the back stuff lately, and thought I'd share some of my experiances while it is fresh in my head...
Now, the easiest way to get started seems like doing the butterfly and bringing one hand back at a time. Just to get used to having your hands back there without having arms or poi crossing.
Next, with just one poi, I tried going from backward spinning to behind my back with bringing my hand far enough over that it could pass on the other side while still going mostly straight forward and back...
The logical next step was the cross-over behind the back. This seems very difficult to get into unless you're really flexi, because the poi of the hand closer to your back, will tend to catch on the elbow of the hand furthest from you.
What I turned out doing was instead of straight forward, I crossed over the poi into the butterfly and did it that way.
I found personally, that it seemed to work best if the hand on top in the butterfly was the one that was closest to my back when I brought them behind. So, that helps get used to having both your hands behind your back, and you don't have to cross your arms too too far. Then you can try angling your poi outward more and more toward non-crossing poi and try to cross your hands more behind your back.
I found it also helped to bend forward a bit. And you'll probably want your fingers more or less curled into a fist or else the rope from one poi can tend to get tangled in the fingers of the other hand. Most of the time when I messed up, was with the poi of the hand closest to my back whacking my ankle. Probably good to try to have it at least a little distance from the back when its behind...
At this point I can't do it very well with the poi totally not crossed, unless I bend way forward as I cross... Will have to work on that. I figure it'll get better as my arms can stretch a bit more with practice...
For the next step, I tried the figure 8. At first I stuck with the very crossed butterfly, but I found that with the split timing on the figure 8, I can have the poi go much farther forward more easily. I've managed it without them crossing, but having them cross just slightly seems to help. So, just try to feel the timing in it, and experiment on how you move, and seems like you can avoid hitting the elbows unlike the regular cross-over.
So, today I managed 3 continuous reps of the figure 8 behind the back once or twice, so I'm happy.
Now I need to put some serious work into having my other hand closer to my back for all configurations. Have let that be a bit lax... After that, the elusive chase/weave behind the back should work...
Hope that helps someone,
Shawn

Yup this is definitely going to take a lot of practice. So frustrating because everything I've been learning recently I get down in no more then 15-20 minutes. This is going to take hours of practice. I can do each poi perfectly with one hand at a time, but I can't seem to put them together without them getting tangled. Any tips?

i found it far easier to learn a normal crossover behind the back and then work into the 3 beat weave from there, i didnt watch all the video so sorry if he allready said this
