This space is for all those funksters busy improving their technique by learning new moves - made-up or traditional.
Tell us all about it! We love hearing about our fellow poiers/staffies/misc. toyers succeeding with new things 
It's just hard to keep up with it all sometimes, so if we keep it together you'll be certain to get a little feedback.
here a pat on the back in advance from me

myst learned a new one lastnight, kind of came by accident, i think he was doing the butterfly and he got a stiffy and wrapped it on his @*ck. was pretty cool. LOL the one i did lastnight was pretty cool, i was doing a BTB butterfly and i started to bend at the waist like i was trying to touch my toes, so the bfly was parallel to the groun then i brought them both down on the down swing and wrapped them from behind on both of my legs. have fun with that one.

Good man pozee, good man. I have to agree with you though pozee, your wrap was SICK!!! Bastard's always learning something new, with a little edge.Eric

um I mastered rvs 5-beat. but then I forgot it.I'll have to try and learn it again tonight Frenzie: I dont think I'll ever master the "Looking comfy in PVC pants" trick. I think i'll just settle on double fire neck wraps - its easier (and less risky) Josh

It's not a new wrap but I haven't done it for a while so I guess it's new. Josh, pozee, and Katinca, have seen me do it. (with glowsticks) do a btb butterfly and wrap both your wrist' at the same time, now come out, still behind your back, to an opposite direction butterfly. I was proud of myself for doing it every try tonight, I haden't done it forever. Sh*t, I haven't played with glowsticks forever, till tonight. What can I say, Pozee drove me to do it, I had to show him something, that dicks getting better by the second. LOL, tried to do a BTB 5 beat weave with fire tonight and woops, no luck. Luckily I was wearing a shirt. But Pozee saw the video of me doing it behind my back, so at least I have proof I've done it. Well people, I'll talk to you later.Eric

Thanks Pozee, tried it last night with my eyes closed, and whatdoyouknow I cracked the forward 5 beat weave. Now I know why it's called a 'beat', as I found there was a definite beat/groove to get into, and then it flows really nicely. Coming back out of the 5 into the 3 is interesting, I found I almost stalled the poi, I had to slow it right down to come out of it.

Just started practicing a suggestion in another thread, the TOOTHGRAB, with my staff (correct spelling this time Blackbird ).
[actually, I'll go back to that thread and put int hat I've done it)It looks pretty pathetic at the moment, but I've managed to gum it (GUMGRAB doesnt sound so good but my teeth hurt if I use them), spin around a few times (2 x 360's in new staff-speak) and release it into a helicopterneck roll. Looks ugly as hell, not polished and I'll get soot all over my face when not using my prcatice staff but it is a start... (yay me, and you, and everyone else) ------------------

okay lets try this again. havent done it with fire yet, because i just remembered it right now. doing the one handed butterfly, put the handles into your mouth and do the butterfly with your teeth, then you can wrap in on your leg a couple of times. beee careful, dont go chipping your teeth or anything.

hee hee! I got that today too! It rules! I can do 5 beat weave turns and 5 beat fountains! god they feel good. The most helpful thing was doing the forward 5 beat and watching your hands, because there are little flicks you do subconsciously with your fingers to get the poi in the right place...now all I need is the rvs ttn, then i can start doing the split time ttn and stuff too. heeh, im running out of moves to learn! jk, i have all the 5bt btb stuff to get done now...

I learned this new move the other night from a friend I haven't seen since highschool. It's easier to do with shorter strings. You start out by swinging the poi in front of you kinda like a butterfly but with your hands apart from each other. What you do is stick your left arm foreward some so your right poi wraps around it and starts swinging the opposite direction, then you pull your left arm back in and stick your right arm out some and do the wrap with your left poi. you keep switching hands and wraping and the poi keep alternating foreward to reverse to foreward with little spirals inbetween from the wraps, it looks crazy. now i just gotta figure out how to transfer into this move smooth.My roomate calls this move the Rolley Tango cause he says it looks like two rolley polley bugs dancing.

Damn you,, i've been doing that move for ages now , and you beat me to putting it up here. Ahh Knagi can back me up on knowing it.
The 5 beats are still kicking my ass, as i can't do them. But i'm getting good at arm- legwraps , and dancing around more.
