alright i have an interesting wrap move i just got down a coupla days ago. it is done by wrappng one poi/glowstick over he top of ur shoulder while u wrap the other one under the armpit of said shoulder.
to simplify one is goin over ur shoulder comin out in ur pit the other one is goin pit to shoulder.
then when you pull them out you let them each do a rotation between ur arms before wrapping ur other shoulder as ur first one, cept the poi/stix will be reversed.
in other words the one that was over the shoulder will be under the pit and vise versa, on ur opposite shoulder.
just tought it looked really cool and descided to share.
one more thing, when doin the rotation between the arms you wanna make sure they are spaced a lil bit apart else you will tangle.
looks like you do a butterfly between ur arms from wrap to wrap. looks cool.
ok, i'm done.

See you all later.

This truly is an inspirational thread! Congrats to all those who have nailed new moves over the past year!
I've just worked out: reverse butterfly into a behind the back butterfly then back again to the reverse butterfly - without moving my feet - very very simple, but feels very nice to play with ![[Razz]](/ubbthreads/images/icons/tongue.gif)
And I'm working on my doubles, still, probably will be forever ![[Wink]](/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif) but have managed to get a sort of forward, and reverse weave thingy happening - bit messy, but getting there. And I can get a windmill thing happpening ok with the doubles too.
Thanks for the inspiration everyone.

yay meeeee!!!!!
i made up a movve!!!(whith tech advice from fwirl(lydia)).
i calll it the arse rap (please tell me if this is not a new move!!)
wel when doing forwards keep the poi swinging in the same direction, thenturn your body slightly to the side, stick your arse out ,rap the poi under your behind, (the poi should hit you on the opposite hip....this may hurt with beamers) unrap, straiten up, and heypresto!!!
this move does look fairly effective
and again please tell me if this move is already in use

I didn't read all of this topic yet, but I also got a new move yesterday and if it's already in here please forgive me.
I think I don't need to explain a lot, it's just a forward weave but instead of going side to side, spread your legs and when your weave is on the right side just change the angle of the chains a bit and pull it through your legs and you'll come out in a reverse weave on the opposite side. I personally think it looks pretty good, but takes a bit of practise though to get the right feeling for it.
Thanks for listening (reading) and give it a shot!

i've never posted here before but i need to shout to someone and no one's on IM!
so here goes!
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
i suddenly cracked turning a butterfly weave, or at least it's two beat counterpart (bouncing butterfly) it needs smoothing but it's soooo feckin easy lol (easy in split time. the issues in same time are just my issues with the move itself. liek how i refused to learn same time butterflies good for like...well...months relly.)
and i just did a six beat corckscrew! woot! god it wasn't even that hard. i'm sure it looks crap but still, it's doable! eeeeeeeeeee!
god i've barely touched my poi lately cause of staff and three section, but i need to go back and work with them more! wheeee!

Here's one i thought of and have been practicing a bit over the past week..
I dunno if i invented it, but i have never seen anyone else do it.
it's pretty easy, and just a little fun.
basically you do the fwd 3beat weave, and on the last beat on each side, lift your leg up (to the front) and kinda stuff your hand under it so the poi goes on the outside of your leg. then bring it back in quick-like.
I hope that made sense..
If not, i'll try to do a better explanation

![[Hug]](/ubbthreads/graemlins/hug.gif)
Hi fellow people
Im new to poi and by the reading your all true experts, how on earth will I catch up!!
Any advise? visited geocities.com/firepoi some good guides!! so thanks for that site!! The only problem is I printed them off took them home and they didn't make much sense so any suggestions on how to get better let me know.. I have managed to do the basic moves and also chase / weave.
or I guess they are just basic compaired to some of your emails. Im realy good at the fire wheel though.

curious and curiouser!
i just got the behind the back mexican wave....
weird, i know, havent tried it with fire yet, but thinking it will be efective if start of with normal mexican, then leave hands behind back and swing them out in front one at a time. yes, will have to try this with fire soon..
why do yall love btb weave? even the best at it look unco after a couple of rotations, i just dont think its worth it.... says me who can only do it for a little bit, then whamo..

well once btb forwards and reverse is learnt then it is the turns that look great.
I know a friend that can quite happily do btb turns and they look really smooth and nice ![[Smile]](/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif)

This afternoon cass showed me how to do a BTB weave...then the waist-wrap. When I got comfortable with the waist-wrap I stopped working on the BTB weave!
This evening I did it with fire, which was awesome!
Today is 4 weeks to the day since I started poi.
I'm hooked!

Pinched this off a friend of mine, it's pretty simple and probably not that new but looks dead good. Neat way of turning out of weaves by splitting them. Do forward weave but instead of sending the right poi over to the left side let it go behind the back, then turn around 180 into a backwards weave. Looks like f weave, low wave and turn, b weave.
sorry about sketchy description, tricks are so hard to describe. ![[Roll smile]](/ubbthreads/graemlins/ubbrollimages/icons/smile.gif)

Finally nailed the reverse five-beat weave yesterday after not being able to get my head round it for ages, so I'm pretty pleased about that. Also worked on doing forward-to-back turns using five beat, but it seems that to do it you have to turn the second cycle (the middle one when turning in three-beat) straight into the reverse five-beat rather than turning again to enter it as with three-beat. Or maybe I just need to play around some more
Reverse btb three-beat is almost there, just need to remember to keep my arms a little further away from my body than they'd like to be

sorry sam. you didn't make up a new wrap. My friend Brian came up with it about 3 mths. ago. Except we call it the ass stall, and when in reverse, it beocmes the nut stall which really hurts when not done properly for obvious reasons

Woo, I feel alive. New moves are flowing. Behind the back 3 beat weave (is the direction the same as in front or reversed? ie does a reverse 3 beat weave BTB spin in the same direction as reverse in front?), although a bit wobbly and lasts for probably 6 turns before going out of control or hitting the back of my legs.
