Poi: There's so many I need to nail: Btb, waist wrap, hyperloops, wraps, buzzsaw, throws &  isolations, but right now it's stops, rythem & flowers, to give me a bit more freedom when dancing with 'em.
Staff: Not that much since I got me a hulla! But doubles with throws & contact moves are my current irratations.
Hulla: knee lift, ankle lift, issolations, body lift with the arms inside the hoop... & other stuff that i made up & don't know the names for.
balls: one day I'll do a 3 ball cascade for more than 5 seconds!
Trapeze: getting beyond a beginer & regaining the arm strength to do a high bird's nest again (it was sooo much easier when i was 10 years old & 2 stone lighter!)

OK go me uni....
I have to say its the hardest thing ive ever tried to learn, harder than contact juggling (at least i got a few moves right away) harder than poi by a huge streak.
I got across my kitchen a couple of times, and landed on my ass once. It will do for today.
peace

<Coughs> Ahem.. Okay, you're all too good for me!
It's not a straightjacket (I prefer to call those 's)
It's arms folded in a kinda hip-hop stylee, iykwim.
(One over, one under)
..doing a 3-breat weave with doubles (extra turns) each side
to be specific.
I guess this is similar to what you mean by crossers?
Only thought of it on monday, last night got stealth vid'd
and it was sooo clean - I think it's a beautiful move, and
will probably be a fav for some time.. 
Finally I feel like I can do isolations! Hurrah!!
Now, Isolated Hugs... You gotta be kidding 
(It's gonna look pretty awful, no? )

heh.. yeah, I was joking to a degree when I said isolated straightjacket. I can conceptualize the move, but can't make the concept look pretty... talk about torso thrashing with small poi

Hey, with inversions and such like I'm sure someone
must be able to actually properly cross their arms
(proper folded, so if someone pulled your hands...
you'd make a knot!) whilst still spinning!!
Hmmm, I think it would be quite a stretch to keep
going...

Poi - Neatning up my butterfly turning btb waistwrap where one arm goes over head thinggy me whatsit. And... just playing around with btb waistwraps really. Quite obsessed with them at the moment.
Juggling - Just some basic 4ball patterns
Hula Hoops - That stick one arm up, and head out thing.

flowers. of any sort.
hyperlooping is starting to come together (arsn, you rock )
started playing with stalls a little bit.
I've discovered that flags make sure everything you do, you do really well. It's all well and good fudging through a 5bt weave with poi, but when flags are being spun, you need to do it spot on

Inverted hyperloop - Every now and then I'll have a streak of clean ones. I guess I really need to work on perpetual tangles before getting too fancy with these. They still look like an ugly tech move when I do them but I know they can be cleaned up.
Lots of isolations
Isolated crossers - Not the straitjacket (both arms crossed) but one arm crossed and isolated with a weave or butterfly weave. It seems to isolate better with turns.
Isolated 4bt. TTNs - I finally got the 4bt. TTNs both ways so I'm working on isolating them. They sort of isolate around your arms and it almost looks like a wrap... funky.
Isolations mixed with thru-wraps - Arm\leg\neck thru-wraps pivot somewhere down the chain so do an isolation with your other arm to match the smaller circle. It's tough keeping the timing even but they look nice when you nail them.
Lots of other stuff I'm polishing but those are the ones I keep coming back to.

I'm working on making it to california. so I can hop a barge to hawaii. so I can work on the beach as a cabana boy for a couple years. so I can save up money and buy an airline ticket to china. so I can get trained as a ninja, come back, and fight crime on the mean streets of greenfield. naw I'm kiddin.... I don't know the names of any hardly any tricks, I guess I'm not interested in the names enough, but right now, with poi, I'm working on spinning around in circles with the poi spinning like a weave behind my back... but on the plane of a windmill..... nevermind... maybe I really will go to china
--------------------
I'll get there too late if I shorten my stride, I'll get there too soon if I find me a ride, I'll never move forward if I try to hide this path that I've troden one step at a time.
