Re: The Official HOP "I just learned a new move" thread  find similar

Isn't it strange how lots of moves all seem to come at once? Today I've managed to get my 7 beat weaves smooth (arm positions still look ugly, but the timing of the swinging is good), finally sorted out how to swing the poi next to each other properly (which leads to lots of interesting things like easy double neck wraps and the funky btl turn thing Skunk did in CoL3 with the poi entering from behind), just about got the hang of isolations (actually a lot easier with long poi), and (nearly - can do it one way, but not the other) tenticle's move posted just above (I find it needs a beat of isolation in the middle to prevent the chains from wrapping).
Also picked up my doubles for the first time in a few weeks, and got a couple of new moves sorted for those ![[Smile]](/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif) Only quite simple stuff, like crossovers (contra-rotating and same direction) alternating the top arm, but good to learn something new all the same.
Just a shame things aren't the same for my single staff. Still getting frustrated by about 4 or 5 moves that refuse to work consistantly.
I'm now covered in soot marks ![[Roll Eyes]](/ubbthreads/images/icons/rolleyes.gif)

everyone here must be well lazy - no-one has learnt anything new since december?!!?? ![[Eek!]](/ubbthreads/images/icons/shocked.gif)
well anyhoo, i can finally do the rev 5bt weave ![[Big Grin]](/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif) i learnt forwards 5bt around july 02 and its taken this long for reverse to fall into place reverse hyps are starting to work as a result
moohaahaa's lovely downwards corkscrew inside hyperloop is sorted now and the mineiro inspired upwards version coming together.
isolations still messy but i've only ever seen two people do decent multiple beats of this so i'm happy with the progress.
and my new favourite moves some kind of butterfly waistwraps with a double speed 2:1 circles leading into the btb bit. no more description than that i'm afraid ![[Razz]](/ubbthreads/images/icons/tongue.gif) video is the way of the future!

I forgot this thread existed. Between December and now I've learned
fwd + rev 5 beat weave
fwd 7 beat weave
fwd + rev btb 3 beat weave + turns
both direction 3 and 4 beat corkscrews and windmills
somewhat decent weave hyperloops
a variety of isolations (no buzzsaw, still all same time)
fwd btb waistwraps, both sides
random other fun wraps/combo stuff
Oh yeah, you know how some people do colorchanging glowsticks by wrapping and letting go? I found out that you can do it from a hyperloop too.

Errm, let me think.
TTN weaves
Reverse 5-beat and turning
BTN stuff and turning using BTN
Waist wraps
Parallel weaves
And other assorted odds and sods as well as generally working on my fluidity

I have just learnt how to transition between one-handed 3 beat weaves to one handed butterfly using a leg wrap.
I love being able to do this move 'cause it means if I screw up one handed move I can go back to what I was doing without having to stop and start again!

I am finally getting close to being able to do a forward btb weave.I can only do a couple beats but hey ... it's progress.My reverse btb weave is getting very smooth these days and I can transition in and out of it with relative ease.One day I'm gonna have to venture to the land of poi-masters and have them show me how a 5 beat btb weave is accomplished.
I got 5 beats of an isolated buzzsaw yesterday. I was totally stoked about that.
4 beat TTN forward and reverse
3 beat butterfly weave and turning
And since I met Skunk in NY at the PiP I have a couple of throws to add to my inventory of moves as well.

super-spinny weekend with the aid of spoooooooores and the spinniest party of them all (cartoon asylum) led me to happy poi madness - @ the party i got buzzsaw fountains and regular buzzasw iso's (fwd and bkd) with horizontal stops into buzzsawed butterfly iso's.
at the end of the afterparty (heavily into a session of using my body as a dump site for unwanted substances and just before i left for home) moohaahaa and i started playing proper and found weaves with each of the poi heads doing a vertical stall on one side. isolated ttn (maybe 4bt but i can't work out how to count this stuff) and many more random isolations in normal moves.
it all feels really natural but is some of the most confusing stuff i've watched - baffling with globalls and completely mesmerising with uv socks.
can anyone tell i'm excited by this...? ![[Wink]](/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif)

I can finally do a btb forward weave !!! 
I can't turn with it yet and it's kinda sloppy but I can do it !!!
Also 5 beat butterfly weaves
turning btb butterflies
A couple of those between the legs spin moves
And a whole bunch of throws
Since it has started getting warmer it seems as I have gotten my learning curve back.

Yesterday, Simian demonstrated his fantastic new move which he calls the Poindexter.
Basically, it's any move you can think of but with your wrist against the top of your head ![[Loco]](/ubbthreads/graemlins/ubbloco.gif)
It's possibly the stupidest move I've ever seen, maybe with the exception of Jez's no handed butterfly.

did you ever learn a trick that youve dreamed of doing for 5 years?
Runs around the whole of HOP shouting:
![[Tickled]](/ubbthreads/graemlins/ubbtickled.gif) WHOOO, WHOOO, I AM THE SHITS
Mikes Mess
Mikes fucking Mess (thats cross follow on the bottom while juggling 3 clubs on doubles at the top)
'Tain't solid, but i qualified it in the sunshine on clapham common, and thats good enough for me .
what shall I work on next?

nice one ![[beer]](/ubbthreads/graemlins/beerchug.gif) i hear that inspirational sunshine you were talking about is due *all weekend*
what next you ask? i heard its a good idea to learn your moves in reverse. then you can turn around with them. or you could go straight for 5 club mike's mess.
er new moves, new moves... i did a couple of 360's using a pair of top and bottom carries last night. which suprisingly looks quite nice.

Well, First off, I doubt this even counts, But... I dunno.
I started with an over-the head butterfly. ...but not the switch-over. a butterfly while looking straight up, arms above the head, then from that position, leaning forward, into a low crouch, the butterfly still going behind the back, arms out. Makes you look kinda like a squatting helicopter.
The only thing is, as you get back up, tilting the spin so you don't hit yourself in the back of the head.
I bet I'm not the first to do this, at all. Hell, it could be a standard move. I dunno. The other things I'm trying out are jumping 'through' weaves. Because I'm hyperactive.
There aren't a lot of people in Maine who spin. It's sad. Teachmeteachme~

3 beat btb weave forward and backward. Feels beautifull in comparison to the btb figure 8. So much fuller or something. Now to get the damn turning thing.

yeehaaaw! my first "i just learned a new move" post: finally got a chance to work on maxi hyperloops again... somehow pulled off a two beat maxi plus starting btb between the shouder blades, and with some fancy footwork, crossing over the shoulder to the front for last two beats. so much work to do, so little time...

After a year and a half of trying, I've finally got the btb forwards butterfly. How pathetic am I? Just need to turn that into btb forward ttn (I like three letter abbreviations!) and then I can play with lots of fun turning btb butterflys! Quite excited by that!
Also recently worked out: odd hand roll in the middle of a weave, backwards (can't really describe it, but the poi do a single beat of buzzsaw with the arms crossed before going back into the weave), btb 360 3 beat ttn (bugger me if I can describe what that looks like) and the principle behind staff fishtails, if not actually how to do them.
