Sounds a bit crazy!
Did you literally just learn that now at half three in the morning?
I just learnt how to move my thyroid independently of the rest of my body. I can get a kind of wobbling action going on if i concentrate hard enough. Next i want to move my body while i'm doing it so i perform a thyroid isolation.
Sorry, was it just poi moves that're meant to be here?

yep, sad huh?. I built myself a set of meteors on friday evening and have been having a play with them in my bedroom. Almost got 4 beat corkscrew one handed going. I can transfer any moves i learn with them to poi (holding both handles at once), but thick rope is easier on the hands when learning than badely welded chain.

First chance I've had to play in a while, ended up getting a nice butterfly type thing I saw fluffy napalm fairy do at SPOC ( thank you!). In the wall plane (as most of my moves are these days), one poi goes behind the back and out in front on the other side, the other poi goes over the shoulder, repeat on the other side of your body.
Also, some silly btl walking type things. Right poi rotating forwards, left rotating backwards at your sides. Right goes btl form the front, left goes btl from behind, turn pivoting on left foot. Immediately do the same thing but reversed. You end up walking forward, and making people laugh at how stupid you look ![[Tickled]](/ubbthreads/graemlins/ubbtickled.gif) . Same thing can be done walking backwards, just reverse all directions. Combine the two for maximum effect. I know someone who dances just like that.

finally. I've spent months trying hyperloops with no sucess. Always tried from 5 beat forwards weave on the right side going to left, cause i'm right handed. Never tried left to right at all, just assuming it'd be harder. Anyway tonight whilst pissing about i tried left to right (fairly drunk i might add - without fire of course) and got it first time
So pleased, hyperloops have been pissing me off for so long........
Oh and no sooner than 10 mins after doing it for the first time in *months* i smacked my head hard with with my chains It's like the pain of starting all over again

alrighty. I've been practicing alot of different styles, moves, etc. this week.
Since my Poi are home made and have wooden handles to grip I've been able to do one handed butterflys with some ease. I can do them in the forward, and reverse positions in the front of my body and behind my head... I like to switch postions a lot.
I also tried something else... taking the butterfly in one hand streaching my arm way out then physically moving around the butterfly while it hits the peak of it's swing, and keep it going... I've gotten it once so I've walked 360 degrees in a circle around the butterfly... Needs LOTS work though before I try it with fire. I've done searches on this move, but haven't been able to find a name for it.
also I was watching Conon O'brian the other day, they had the Shaolin monks as a musical guest one time. the one monk had super long poi like chains (maybe 4 feet in lenght each) with a little flag on the end... He sat down with his legs out, and spun one over his head, then lifted himself off the ground with the other hand and spun the chain underneath him for a bit... VERY impressive, (gonna need some mad Shaolin strength for that!)
--------------------
I have no choice...
I have no voice...
I have no mouth and I must scream!
but with thoughts as loud as mine, everyone will see in time!

I finally figured out the behind the back 3 beat weave, yay! It's not always really pretty, and I can only do it once or twice before my planed get all messed up and I start hitting myself, but I finally got it!
Now to learn these "isolation" thingies...

Hi everyone ...i am a new poi spinner (i've been practising for about a month) and two days ago i came up with a new move. I don't know if it exists or if it has been mentioned before (i don't have the time to read all of the messages) but i will try to describe it.
Here we go:
From forward spinnig when poi reach the bottom of their path you turn your palms upside down so that poi make half a circle behind your back (eg the right hand poi makes a clockwise half-circle), then you cross your hands in front (to do that it's a bit like the low wave only you do it in time)and then you cross the chains behind your head. You end up spinning forward or you repeat the sequence.
I hope i made it clear!
If it doesn't exist, i like to call it "peacock"!
