Trifoil antispin flowers, and vertical stalls out of wallplane antipin flowers. Inspired by watching G with hyperlights for hours at Play.

Just learned some combination of forward weave with buzzsaw, wraps in weaves and i don't know how this one is called exactly but its a hyperloop in a weave, but I still need to work in it some more doesn't look that well yet.
But again i felt so good i've learned those things just by believing i can do them and practicing for an hour  , and the new way to hold my sock poi has certainly something to do with it i think.

I've just discovered the wonders of Poi - so I decided to make some for myself: a bag of rice in a sock with a white hanky as a "tail" with two bootlaces as the strings.
Anyway, I've been practicing for a couple of hours now, and I think I've got the 3 beat weave going now! It's really messy, so maybe you guys could give me some tips on how to improve it?
I really wanted to be able to weave before I started to refine anything, so that I actually had something to refine :P
Anyway - here's the video (edited to the point just before I cane myself in the back of the head with both poi :P).
Thanks,
CC

Casey...
I'm reasonably new myself... just a week and a half of experience...
But to clean it up you need to start thinking about your planes... that is that every time you swing it, it should be essentially parallel to wherever else you've spun it... Thats it in its most basic state... clearly its more complicated than that, but I've just not got the words right now.
Try learning a few other tricks to help clean it up, too. Try butterfly and once you have that, angel wings. Your weave will become cleaner after that, you'll start to learn more about where your poi are going and all that. Your wrists will end up coming in closer, not because you're better at it, but because its what takes less effort. Just keep practicing. I personally bought testicular protection and just kept trying slowly, no matter how it punished my body.
And "Woo! I just cracked the 5 beat weave... sort of.. I can do it on the right side and the left, but not yet each of them consecutively."

At last I got the behind the back weave I think I broke my left leg from repeatedly hitting it in the same place while learning but I got there in the end! Soooo pleased

Not really moves, more lessons.
1. I <3 spinning fire(got to do so twice over the weekend)
2. Just because you can do a move with each hand by itself doesn't mean both hands will understand what to do when put together. 3 beat reverse has given me a hell of a shiner.

mind meltdowns. off Zans DVD encyclo-poi-dia. example. spin both poi forwards and spin the right behind you on your left side whilst your left comes in front of you and spins on the other side. Then on the turn, turn your body and your right hand spins the poi backwards in front of the body on left side!
probably a poor explanation but im hungover. Watch a vid in the 'stall' section of tutorials and all will be clearer
Dont know why its in stalls though
edit- when i can actually od them ill post a better vid in the tutorials. how do you upload vids to tutorials anyway?

have no idea what it's called.
but it was the backwards / antispin version of what durbs showed me at fire gathering which was apparently a polyrythym hybid 
well from reverse butterfly into 1 long arm followed by the short arm antispinning underneath - to turn to normal poly-whatever on the other side turn repeat...
ask simta he was there
