Huggies. They sound cool and Yuta's huggies are amazing!

Isolated weave. It looks awesome!

I don't think I've had this much trouble learning new tricks for a very long time!

Also generally just working on disconnecting the direction of my arms and the direction I'm spinning the poi, which is mainly useful for antispin stuff in general, but is one of those fundamental things that is really hard to do, but opens up all kinds of crazy crap...

Right now im working on getting a pretty basic move, I dont know the moves name infact if anyone can tell me its name ide appreciate it.

Its where you swing your poi infront of your at waist height and after one swing infont you quickly flip it to behind your back again and try a swing behind then farward, behind, farward, behind ect. It makes sort of (from my point of view anyway) an S (imagine your looking down at the S from a birds eye view) shape.

Its dangerouse for boys though lol, swinging poi at weighst height can go AWFULLY wrong and painfull.

Not exactly sure what the move is called... but it is an air wrap stopped by your hands and rolled back to the opposite direction, rolled to the other position, etc etc etc..

uhm... well, im trying to learn the btb weave, as i can do the btb butterfly, i want to be able to have NO problem with it. this btb weave is gonna bite me hard... i hate it but i need it... also working on some isolations, they are my favorite move but i just cant seem to do it within a weave or anything... the poi smacks me on the chest, then again, its stretchy....

anti-spin is basically moving your hands/arms in the opposite direction to the poi, for example and antispin flower is when the poi are moving forewards (or backwards) and your arms are moving backwards (or forewards)
