Neat buzzsaw find.

The other day while playing with buzzsaws I found that you can turn a buzzsaw 360 without transitioning to the opposite direction. If youve ever seen one of those crazy AA Yo-Yo videos, you probably know what Im on about. Start with a buzzsaw and begin turning with it, but instead of flipping it to reverse like usual, follow it with your body, almost as if you were doing a sommersalt along with it (although you arent actually doing a summersault). Youll have to basically turn your upper body upside down and then back again.
Although I havent tried it yet, it seems this also has applications in hyperloops. The yo-yo'ers use this to turn their tangled buzzsaw type moves without worrying about extra twists and such.
Anyway, this isnt anything amazing, but was something I figured someone may have a use for.

Oli - I think just partialy
Buzzsaw transition - Well, there is a big story about that. When you want tot turn with Buzzsaw Weave, there are allways, no matter if on the top or bottom, part where bot Poi are outside not inside.
This is the same with BTN Isolation, where you can see, when you turn that there is neither not all the time buzzaw nor Isolation.
To bypass that you can slow the motion as much as possible to get it
or use inversion, but there you just fix one hand inside not both.
The fact is thatt there is no wall plane buzzsaw, only inverted plane or inside plane and those "classic".

ICoN: What do you call a buzzsaw fountain?,
Better what do you call Buzzsaw?
When we look at planes "Wall plane":
Outside plane(long arm,thanx Rev)
Wall plane
Inverted plane(inversion)
Inside plane(inside, thanx Rev)
Buzzsaw plane
What about buzzsaw, if buzzsaw is space between arms and body, buzzsaw is inverted and inside plane. (by Coleman)
If buzzsaw is plane and I aim for that. Than because when we stay wheel plane buzzsaw is in the middle,I call it central plane, then when we stay "Wall plane the buzzsaw plane pass through our body".
Resolution:
There is Buzzsaw in Wall plane,
There is Buzzsaw plane Wall plane,but
Poi can pass throught (straight arm) and cant stop.
Any suggestions?
light,
:R

Buzzsaw is its own plane but you can do them in wall plane too... Just like you can do a weave (outside plane) in wall plane. Think of all the buzzsaws, not just the basic one... BTB wall plane buzzsaw (like a waist wrap buzzsaw), between the legs buzzsaw, buzzsaw flowers, etc... Thats all done in buzzsaw wall plane.

It is, Richee. When I say "BTL buzzsaw" Im not talking about a windmill thing here... Im talking about actually doing a buzzsaw BTL ie left hand in front, right hand in back, between the legs doing buzzsaw in wall plane. Btb waist wrap buzzsaw = doing a buzzsaw under your arms with one wrapped BTB in wall plane (sorta like the one Bluecat does in Spinach sessions except turned to wall plane instead of just BTB). Im tellin you. There are plenty of buzzsaw moves that utilize wall plane.

Bender, the move Im describing basically IS a buzzsaw fountain... However, its done without changing the direction of spin in relation to your body... Youre not going forward > reverse > forward... Youre doing one direction the whole time but following it with your body in a circle so that there is no direction change.

ok I'm not sure why I'm being thanked here.. hopefully I cna clear up something I might have mistated earlier.. I think there is a way to extremely simplify this whole thing is like this..
outside- poi face away from you
inverted- poi face each other.. (I'll clarify this in a minute)
inside- poi face you..
inside and outside are essentially the same thing but face different.. a good way to see that is the corkscrew.. where top and bottom represent inside and outside..
inverted (if we go loosely like arashi and cole does ?!?) is the buzzsaw space)- therefore the buzzsaws are inverted reels.. and inversions are (pardon the redundancy) inverted weaves (whihc is where the inverted deifnition above needs a little clarifying.. these still face each other but have to overlap each other a little to twist around each other)..
thus buzzsaws being reels, are like any other reel... they can be wheel plane.. wallplane.. whatever..
this last part is me just rambling:
buzzsaw isnt really a plane, just like outside and inside arent /really/ planes.... its a planar facing.. its a polite way of saying facing each other, next to each other.. by thinking of them as /planes/, it kinda gives this static connotation doesnt it.. whihc would lead to conflict with other 'planes' like wheel, wall, whatever.. the difference being that wheel and wall are static planes.. whereas outside, inside, and buzzsaw are not.. I can face outside, inside, or buzzsaw from anywhere.. but those points arent specifically those planes.. they only happen to be at that time.. I cant have an inside plane for example, without having my arms in a position to define it that way..
I guess what I'm trying to say is that outside, inside, and inverted refer to how the hands are relative to each other and the body.. and wallplane, wheel plane etc.. are how the poi spin.. the latter being what I would consider a 'plane.' whihc is why you can spin inside wallplane, or inside wheel plane, etc..
now that ends the offtopic rambling..

"IcON
Btb waist wrap buzzsaw = doing a buzzsaw under your arms with one wrapped BTB in wall plane (sorta like the one Bluecat does in Spinach sessions except turned to wall plane instead of just BTB)"
Wrapped,where, you meen with short Poi right.
*"Yes, there is no directinal change in buzzsaw, but planar."*
Answer is between left and right,
forward and backward Weave buzzsaw,
Wall plane,
When you stay wheel plane, your Buzzsaw is in the middle in one plane. When yo ustay wall plane, you can only choose outside or inside.
Revi,
"Its a polite way of saying facing each other, next to each other.. by thinking of them as /planes/, it kinda gives this static connotation doesnt it.."
Its dynamic connotation as you ack after.
That are static and dynamic planes point of view.
Myself I take it absolutely static. This is set of planes
referre space
and I move whole the set by turnig.
Thins point of view let me like you to go the same way,
its dynamized static.
