Lots of useful threads about hyperloops\airwraps\knots\tangles\nexuseses\randy badgers.
Please post random rubbish in this thread to keep it bumped 
Read These First
Airwraps and Hyperloops
A funky article by Dom, introducing and explaining the terms airwrap and hyperloop.
Includes this important observation:Written by: "Dom"
"The word "hyperloop" was first used on this board by Glass in October 2002. Since then there has been constant debate about what a hyperloop actually is. Ultimately a hyperloop is part of the airwrap family of moves and it doesn't actually matter what it is or what it's called as long as you're having fun."
hyperloop - the basic 4-beat
an excellent 'how-to' guide for the most basic tangling move from Professor Coleman. The thread that started me hitting my poi together on purpose.
The Jedi Set
This thread is basically what got all the techie people into Hyperloops and Isolations. Here you can verify that this stuff is all Glass’ fault 
It's massive and has lots of interesting stuff (if you skim past the occasional bout of arguments/accusations)
Butterfly Threads
Butterfly air wraps
Dom & Dantana explain the whole tangly butterfly thingy
butterfly hyperloop
Dantana, Coleman, Poibox and Nix? explain the whole tangly butterfly thingy
Wierd airwrap I fell upon
includes MORE useful stuff about butterfly thingies from Dr Dantana. He knows his thingies he does…
butterfly hyperloop wrap...thing
Starts off describing recoil-wrapping one-poi from a butterfly tangle. Goes into more general butterfly tangly advice.
Buzzsaw Threads
its a bit like a airwrap but differernt
In fact… it’s a tangled buzzsaw 
Tangled Buzzsaw
OK thread, but not enormously informative or helpful.
Perpetual Tangled Buzzsaw
advice on how to keep buzzsaw tangles going. Good stuff.
Fun Stuff to do with Tangles
Oli explains stuff about adding and removing twists from tangly buzzsaws (with nice diagrams )
ok, this one really is a new move, sorta, whatever...hyperbuzzsaw
not particularly informative or helpful
Helpful Theoretical Type Threads
Ninjaz & BTB Hyperloops
More than what it says in the title. Messed up tangly conversations.
inside or inverted airwraps...
i reckon this is a very useful thread for advancing your understanding of tangles in general.
anti-spin tangle thoughts...
The effects of rotating hands contrary to spin direction. Reducing the amount of time you spend untangled.
Corkscrew Airwraps
Horizontal tangly stuff and a bit of general chatter. Definitely worth checking out.
Wierd Moves n Stuff…
Fun stuff to do with tangly things...
Three awesome new tangly moves (with video) from the Reverend Rev
a few bits of fun perchance...
another great thread by le chat bleu with many funky ideas to play with…
between the legs airwraps
Good description of and advice about… between the legs airwraps
Atomic Hyps
(but... aren't all hyperloops atomic?  )
Double Hyperloops
Groovy idea from Tommy Nixford. Needs long poi.
Multi-Beat Airwraps
Stuff about how to get lots of beats in airwraps
multibeat hyp/twisties, AGAIN!!
Stuff about how to get lots of beats in airwraps. again...
Stalls from airwraps
stuff about tangling poi then stalling them...
One-Handed Tangles
"...like some freaky astrojack/meteor mutant monster!"
downward conical airwrap spider (exits)
Horizontal tangled throws from Dr Dantana
bounce hyperloops
“you can put bouncy balls in socks then go tangle tangle bounce bounce tangle bounce.”
That’s about the size of it. It’s a short thread
Other Useful Bits
Hyperloops made easy. It's all in the poi
General advice about learning. Very useful.
hyperloops vs. air wraps
Argh! Terminology debate! Mummy, i’m scared...
Hyperloop blues
sometimes hyperloops make you sad PART ONE! :sad:
Back in Tangles
sometimes hyperloops make you sad PART TWO! 
Only included for the sake of completeness
BTB Hyperloops and other variations?
Given it's useful sounding title, this thread is quite shockingly pointless 
fountain to hyperloop tuckturn
Some stuff about turning with hyperloops. Not enormously useful.
Hyperloop Help\Wierdness
Some random stuff – ball chain, 3 beat corkscrews, teabags and cone-shaped gravity…
Calling all Hyperloop Boffs
Mainly descends into terminology confusion 
Hyperloops...again. Simple question
simple question? About hyperloops?
Hyperloop fountains....
oh god, don’t mention fountains, you’ll only upset cole…

If I'm not mistaken, "glowstringers" (is that what they like to be called?) have been doing this move for some time along with bunch of other crazy tangle stuff.

t0xic, titles are those of the person that made the thread originally, not of me.
Please direct replies to the threads, not to this list of links.
Cheers
BTW, i happen to know from recently discovered cave art that BTB orbital airwraps were being performed by Stone Age Jedi as far back as 4000BC, that move is soooo old skool

that's the only problem I have with glowstringers... which is why I refuse to take their name.. I'm sick of people 'inventing' stuff.. that's already done.. but that's just my pet peeve... Then again, I don't see poi as a competition either..

Yeah, I used to think i invented moves. Then I realised that the Patterns were there all the time and I just Discovered them. That's not to say that you can't be the first person in the world EVER to discover a pattern. But there's the collective conscious to take into account. Everyone's working on the same stuff you know. That's why I figure there's no point keeping secrets any more.

Hear hear  I agree with that PoiPoiPoi. Thats why I never call anything by a name. I just do it, show it and see it.
Once you get past a point in spinning you see that it is just connecting Circles, breaking circles, and tweeking and stalling circles. We live in a spear with infinite movements, we are just scratching the serface of the dance however.

I didn't say you did... I'm just saying that -most- of the glowstringers do that.. get on GSC and ask what somethings are..
you're cool.. I won't be so rude as to go off naming names.. but I'm sure you remember reading some on GSC... and I'll be damned if I don't meet at least 2-3 kids at a big party that have names for moves that they/people they know "invented.." These are the same kidz that walk up to you and before they say hi, they say "wanna battle".. so of course I'm kinda biased in my opinoins.. didn't mean to offend ya or nothing..

"Wanna Battle?" Wow. I can't even imagine someone asking me that. It's fortunate that I don't hang out in places that glowstringers frequent. If someone asked me if I wanted to battle, I'd probably get the wrong idea and start beating them with my fire poi.

Yes, we must stop moves being called by the wrong name. Unfortunately you are still incorrect with the name you gave it, as the move in question told me itself that its name is Mildred
i hereby state the two LAWS OF THE UNIVERSE
(they're written in stone which is unbreakable y'know. Just ask Moses...)
1. Names are arbitrary tools for communication. Nothing has a 'real' or 'true' name.
2. Noone invents nothing (especially Edison and Gates). We're just Hamper feasting at different times (or something like that anyhow)
Thanks to glowstringers, tanglesockers and dirtychainers alike for the bumpage though

In hyperloops and airwraps you mean?
Yes, usually both.

By the way, it'd be a good idea to place comments amongst this important discussion thusly:
THE IMPORTANT STUFF IN THIS THREAD IS IN THE FIRST POST ON THE FIRST PAGE thankyouverymuchindeed 
cos the way i look at things, i'm on the second page already.
Now back to the matter in hand. Money and sex and their involvment in tangled socks.
