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..


I always call it a 'tick tock' as it looks just like a devilstick tick tock. I've been working on doing hyperloops that go into one of these and then back through a reverse hyperloop then out.

There's a couple of things that are driving me nuts at the moment: btb waistwraps, turning btb weaves, btb butterfly weaves and much under leg stuff.

Right now? Well just today I realised you can do a Buzzaw with the poi spinning in opposit directoin and TTN those in the wheelplanes.

Never heard people talk about that... might be beacuse it's old... Or new...

Cheers!

Do you mean butterfly buzzsaws Mireneye? They'e a very useful trick, as they're used for flowers and for getting into butterfly hyperloops. I'm trying to work out how to invert them, but it's decideldy hard.

Yea that's probablly it. However when i'm doing it, i'm actually doing that TTN motion where you really go up and after your arm to let it spin half a circle (as with TTN, hope that made sense). Somehow I'd like to think that Butterfly Buzzaws are easier... Since you don't do the "over and under" thingy.

I think I never understood what inverted means in poi terms? could you explain it (just a simple move that can be inverted) ??

The things I do know about is... Antispin, Isolations, Clockwise and Counterclockwise, The different planes, and a fair bit about atomics. So where does inverted fit in ??

Another thing i'm completely oblivious about is Nexus... What does Nexus mean in poi terms ??

Today, I've only tried to tidy up my body turning while stalling poi, nothing special.

A nexus is the point where 2 poi are tangled. It is the centre of spin for an airwrap (static nexus) or a hyperloop (mobile nexus)

Inversions are inside out or upside down moves, I can't explain them at all, so I'll leave the description for Rev

However not sure i understand your description of what's going on. Are your poi spinning in buzzsaw plane or in the wall plane?

3bt butterfly weave (which is melting my brain), working on cleaing up my flowers, and experimenting with antispin. Also trying to get btb forward weave into btb backwards weave. Can do the other way round, just not back again..... Tidying up my isolations too.

I learnt some nice moves in the last few months: some BTB waistwraps, flowers, the reverse isolated buzzsaw, the 4beat windmill etc. etc. Now I'm trying to put them toghether and being able to use them in a routine or while doing some freestyle...

And then I MUST learn the turns while doing the windmill!

Im working on flowers.. I sort of got those round petal flowers, but those sharp ones that ive seen yuta and meenik do. In my opinion, it is the most breathe-taking and gorgeous poi move. Although it may be hard, i believe it will be the move i am most satisfied with.

Also working on manipulating isolations around my body. Very nice move, only, with fire poi its kind of hard to know if the person is doing an isolation or not... Atleast it doesnt look anywhere near as clean as it does with socks. Or is that just me?
