Eep! No idea what it's called, but I've just invented this thing where I'm spinning round, the poi of my leading hand btb on the other side, then I tangle the handle of that poi with the head of the other, ping it up in the air so it's spinning horizontally, then catch it with t'other hand.
It's a poor cousin to the trick I want to do, which is catching it in a horizontal over-the-head propellor, but seeing as I can't propel yet, I'm quite pleased

I think I just got some kind of 3-beat (btb) waistwrap going!
I could even do 4-beat on the left side when spinning anticlockwise (so that they go in front of left shin, up close to the midline, laterally in front of left shoulder, and down again on the 'outside' of my body). But I can only do a 3-beat again on the right side.
anyone know of some handy n-beat waistwrap threads where n>2?
Yes I've searched, but all the ones I casually glanced at seem to be 'standard' ww threads...

Airwraps. Just now.
Forgot how to do them about a year ago when I learnt hyperloops.
Imagned the movemant of the poi, and the way they had to go, then drilled it, then got it.
Then rememberd that I did infact learn airwraps somewhere inbetween a year ago and today, as I rememberd the process of doing an airwrap..
Then I rememberd who taught me.
Then rememberd why I couldnt remember.
I think I should refrain from smoking the special stuff whilst Mr LtC teaches me things from now on

Some lovely front flower thing mico taught me.
no idea what it's called (yet?) so I'll just have to explain it.
Butterfly infront, move both hands to one side, both poi spin outside your arms, move both to infront of you, one up one down with a gap the length of your poi, move both to right side, then complete the circle by going back to centre with the other hand on top this time.

Well I finaly got btb 4 bt weave, and what im currently calling flower fountains, but im sure has already beem created and under another name, but heres a dexcription- Start off doing a regular forwards, non-anti-spin flower, then as right hand comes down bring to right side on opposite end, with left hand flowing. then as right hand comes down, bring to left side.. Looks kind of like a figure eight flower whend done right. Sorry for the dreadful description.

Antispin "weird" 4 petal flower with the petals in the corners.
I have a hunch people call this Quadfoil ?
Also I finally sucseeded with 'em Buzzaw fountains. I hope I get the terminology right.. Ya know.. transition from FW Buzzaw to backward to forward.. always keeping them in buzzaw going under your arm and over your shoulder. Maybe they are called buzzaw flowers ? AAAAAH =)
Also I find it kinda sweet that when doing weave you don't really have to pass it on the side of your body.. working on it you can almost pass the weave beat in front of you.. there's still a 30-40 degree bend, but I think with practice you can get it to look almost like it's not passing at your side at all.. weird..

Finally started getting the isolated 3 beat weave, parallel lockouts and anti-spin reels, but now I've forgotten how to tie my shoes. OH! And a 3 beat butterfly weave. Wee!

Huzzah!!!
I have only had my Poi for about 3 weeks. Just figured out the 3 beat weave this arvo. I got it almost straight away and had to laugh at myself til I cracked myself in the head. Then I spent about half hour trying to figure out how I did it.
Fiiinalyy realised that it was just like an off set figure eight move I figured out - don't know if it has a name - only difference being that I change wrists over. EEEEE!
Now I just have to grow some balls and try some of the harder ones!

I think I finally figured out exactly what a waistwrap is, and how to put more beats in.
Thanks to FNF and coleman for their helps!

I started spinning about 5 weeks ago and these are the moves I've learned up until now:
Low Turn, Tuck Turn and 2 stalls
Butterfly (forwards and reverse), Giant Butterfly, TTN, Overhead butterfly and Butterfly isolation.
3 beat Weave (forward and reverse), 5 beat Weave (forward), 180 deg weave and 360 deg weave.
Normal Flower.
I can do a buzzsaw, but getting into it from a 3 beat weave is still a bit tricky, I manage it about 1 in 5 times.
I'm currently working on the corkscrew, the windmill, btb weave and I'll probably start working on a reverse 5 beat weave soon.
I'll let you know when I've nailed some more moves.
This really is a very addictive hobby. I just ordered my LED sock poi today, so I can't wait.

i've been away for so long it's more like "i just learned 30 new moves"
still working on getting waist wraps and utl/btl stuff and the butterfly weave btb, but for the most part my trick library seriously just quadrupled if not quintupled............
look for my entry on the next compilation vid......probably go with black light glow sticks for the old school feel, if not then either my soft glows or fire for sure.....

I managed to get the buzzsaw last night, nice transition from 3 beat weave to buzzsaw.
Anybody else find that it's easier to do the buzzsaw with chains as opposed to sock poi?
Also learnt a new move from a mate, but I have no idea what it's called. Spinning in split time in side plane and then alternatively spinning inside and outside. The effect looks almost like a juggling cascade.
