Whoo I've been productive.
Finally got huggies, both butterfly and same direction,
anti spin flowers forwards and backwards, plus full and half butterfly antispin flowers, all 4 butterfloops, wristwrapped airwraps, butterfly airwraps (again), inverted butterfly (kinda), crazy tangles with contact, snags and some 90 degree plane transition stuff.

farting around with my strobey poi whilst trippin at a free party has resulted in some very nice butterfly variations weaving like a mad woman and completely disregarding accidental tangles in favor of freaky wraps. Also got isolations in the works......
WHOOPTY-DOO!!! PROGRESS!!!!
btb reverse weave pretty much sorted too

Well one that I like to do is kind of like the BTB Butterfly except you do the one handed butterfly forward then drop down backwards onto one hand to get the butterfly to flow parallel with your body then you just use your hand that is on the ground to push yourself back up to the regular one handed butterfly and go into whatever you want

oli's - sort of!
butterfly loops, buzzsaw-buzzsaw. only 1 way out of 4 so far though
working on tangle turns but not clean yet and again oly one way 
and my long neglected btb wheelplane stuff is coming on a treat, got the 4bt the other day from learning....
elbow traps from btb to infront! thanks raven! looks great when you switch hands and tangle on the way out.
and last but not least, spiral wraps round both hands. dead easy, looks great and the ladies love it.
that is all

went to a thirteen year old's birthday party and i learnt:
to spin to crappy pop music 
most of it was at a great tempo for increasing your musicality though...
also had the best play i've ever had with an aerotech meteor - didn't hit myself even once!
i also seem to have unlearnt the 4 petal antispin flower though (or was having a bad day with them maybe)

4 petal antispin butterfly flowers, crossers (thanks to Simian) 360 reel turns, both by the hip and long arm, sketchy airwraps, got my full waistwrap (starting on left) tightened up, got very tight normal antispin flowers (poi forwards, arms backwards), and got sketchy reverse 4 petal antispin flowers). Also, finally got split time TTN, working on outwards version. Itinery after that: impossible weave, antispin flower turns, and goofy flowers.

Yes it's shocking compared to some of the elite moves I see bandied around in here, but I've finally nailed the 5-beat weave, I feel as though my spinning has moved to the next level  I can also do one hyperloop (the forward one)
I'm gonna go back to the staff forum now and stick to what I'm (not really very) good at :P

whats a goofy flower? and is the 'impossible weave' the split time butterfly weave then, as I thought it was jsut the butterfly weave from the thread on it earlier, and I know you can do that already sam,

Last night I got what Zan calls the "mind meltdown" on the EncycloPoidia. It was totally one of those "I can't believe I couldn't do that!" moments. I also got the meltdown pirouette. Next is adding flower beats to it.
And hyperloops are coming along...they're getting more consistent and under control.
Yakumo: goofy flowers are flowers where one poi is antispin, but the other is regular spin.

Ok, so I have been working with this move for a little while and I have gotten it down with glowsticks. Im still don't do spiral wraps with fire. But it's one I have either missed or haven't seen during my searches on the forums. It s a butterfly spiral wrap. While doing the butterfly I just exstend my fingers into the prayer position let the poi wrap and pull just as they finish the wrap. If you stop there you are now in the reverse butterfly. You can also let the go out do on beat in reverse and spiral again back into normal butterfly. It makes it look like the butterfly is growing from your hands. My friends liked it. Thought all of you might.

Ok,

(back in direction) -> catch it again underneath
to opposite direction -> repeat with other hand -> FW BF.

I took acid at a club the other day and was using my poi as sock poi by swinging them from the tails with the strings taken off, and someone knocked me as I was doing 5bt and it somehow moved the point where my hands would cross to the strings and I accidentally hyperlooped! I was so into what I was doing because of the acid that I remembered exactly the movement I had done by accident and repeated it, so now I can hyperloop, yay! At least I think it's a hyperloop... They dont spin much, I think its one or half a beat worth of spinning, something like that. This is a hyperloop, right? where the 'extra' beat of the 5bt weave makes the strings cross and uncross on the other side? I may just be being silly. It looks cool anyway, thats the main thing.
Now I just need to learn how to do them backwards!
...Which means I have to stop being lazy and learn 5bt backwards, oh well.
Anyway, to all people who "just cant get" a trick, take some acid or 2-CB, it seems to work for me.
(I'm joking, honest! Drugs are bad, mmmkay?  )

Actually I'm not sure that is called a hyperloop... its definately SOME kind of tangle though. Is it a thru-wrap? I have no idea!

If your poi are tangling on one side of you and unwrapping on the other, then it's a hyperloop. if the poi are wrapping around a part of your body, and unwrapping, then it's a through wrap. If the poi are tangling and untangling in the same place on the same side of you, it's an airwrap.
I hope that helps >,<
I've learnt nothing!

I think its a hyperloop then, it crosses on one side and uncrosses on the other. Yay! I've almost grasped how to do isolations now too, wicked!

Split time butterfly weave, woo! And Coming out of cross arm reels into wall plane antispin flowers, and back into cross arm reels with my hands the other way up. Nice. A
nd antispin reels, cheers for the idea Cole  although it looks messy as hell and I can't turn them.
Also getting there with buzzsaw isolations (I'm using fire chains with monkey fist heads) and buzzsaw fountains.

OK, I figured out I was doing antispin reels wrong, I was doing the top circles behind my head, where they should be in front. Much cleaner, and it looks great going from normal to antispin.
Split-timing it is problematic, for the same reason normal reels are. When doing the top (shoulder) part, you only do half of the reel (the behind the head bit with normal, in front with antispin) before going into the hip reel bit. As a result, when you get to the hip reels bit, the wrong hand is leading, which means you get both poi crossing paths behind you (normal) or in front (antispin). Whilst this is technically the correct split time version of the move, it's messy and doesn't look right.
The way I deal with this is to modify the shoulder reels part to include the beat in front when I spin in split time. This effectively changes the overall motion from a 3 beat move to a 4 beat move, and means that the leading hand always leads throughout the motion. This looks more like proper linked reels, and is easy to spin normal or antispin.
If that explanation is incomprehensible, hear's a description in terms of beats and positions for normal reels, starting with the hip reel bit going clockwise (I find it easier starting with this):
Right hand behind right hip
Left hand in front of right hip
Right hand in front of left hip
Left hand behind left hip
Right hand in front of left shoulder
Left hand behind left shoulder
Right hand behind right shoulder
Left hand in front of right shoulder
That's for normal reels, for antispin, same sequence, poin spinning opposite way (anticlockwise).
Anyway, that's my new move...
Yakumo: Yes, impossible weave is split-time butterfly weave. A goofy flower is one where one hand is antispun and the other isn't, for example arms going the same direction and poi are going opposite, or poi going the same direction and arms doing opposite. And yup I'm coming to Synergy! See you there....
