'infinite' beat weave .. hehehe

I'll try and describe this for the right handers (i'm a lefty)...

Start by doing a normal weave - either direction, but i find forwards easier.

When the weave is on the right side of your body, and the right hand is about to cross back to your left, the left hand should be underneath the right arm.

Instead of bringing the right hand back to the left side, keep it spinning at a normal pace (or speed it up for the HARDCORE amongst you )..

This would normally cross your wrists into a 5 beat.. instead, use your right arm as a hinge point for a THROW with the left hand.. let go of the left poi and it should swing round your right arm, near the wrist, catch it with your left after it comes back over the top.

Repeat this throwing process and you have an 'infinite' weave. (ok ok, it's not really is it, but it looks like one kinda.. )

I hope I've explained this properly

And yeah, seeing a video of someone doing this move well would be very cool.

Most Memerable crowd saying "Hey look that dude's gonna set himself on fire again!"

How about just starting in a 5-beat weave and then on the 5th beat when your wrists are twisted, doing a forward filp, thus untwisting your arms ready for another couple of beats followed by another flip??

Quite tiring I could imagine

the music feeds my soul that glows and grows with every spin i take.

by letting the lines twist I can go for how ever long I want to.... just when you have had enough you pull it to the other side.. and with practice you know when to go back into your weave when its all unwound..

*edit*sorry if its too dark... thats the best I could do on the fly :]

robaato mikaru,
Ok, i tried to visualize this move but its just too damn hard. i thinkg i know what youre getting at, but this is a bump move and when your hands go into the 5 beat you bump your left hand off of your right arm, or do you bump your right hand off of your right arm?? help!!!

no need to think about 5 beat really.

do the normal 3 beat weave.

on your right hand side, when your left hand is going under the right, the right is normally coming back across to the left.

don't.

keep it on the right side, and throw with your left hand, using the right arm as a centre of rotation.

the string of the left poi will come up and over the right arm, where you catch it and repeat this cycle.

so basically the right arm is just spinning at your right side while the left arm is doing continuous throws around it...

hope that helps

i had to reverse all these instructions 'cause i'm left handed :/

Do a regular 3-beat weave, and as you go to one side, twist you body sideways...while you spin a "360" only your hands will spin the same plane as the poi, but your lower body will do a regular upright 360. (kind of like those flexible ratchet tool attachments!) I belive you could even spin faster than the poi and thus keep going into a weave on one side of you body and never on the other side of you body!!! What cha think?

I think you'll see Sage doing something like this on the CoL2 video, except I think it's more like a 180° turn, then a weave-rotation, repeat. Oh, and of course she's doing it btb...

Looks good

I got some insane beat weaves when I did a normal weave and then lined my hands up perfect for the chains to not touch me. Then gave one a little extra push befor I couldn't control them and let them twist up for awhile. Then you whip them to your other side at just the right moment normally after like 12 beats and then if your slick you can keep them split apart for the full unwinding on the other side.

Is this perhaps the erliest recorded instance of a hyperloop?

The callange is on!

p.s. I bet UCOF will make some silly post about my spelling of challenge

You can also do infinate beats on each side of an isolated weave

eerp, no. Then it is not an isolated weave (Both poi circling around ONE center, which is in the case of isolations not the hands).

But you can keep the weave infinite between your arms. Sadly I think it has already been discovered and named
