The Official HOP "I just learned a new move" thread

Nah, don't think so. You at the Glade festival?

i learned this really cool wrap combo


you do one thread the needle then a double wrap on your right arm with both poi then u do an under wrap with your right poi to the underside of the left hand and back to your right arm then back up to a thread the needle then you bounce your right pio ball from top arm to top ar while butterflying the other then u have to do that double wrap where they go above and below and wrap each arm follw that with a grab, you grab both poi thile its way cool and confusing but once u see it ull understand

YUP

no new poi stuf recently but I finally learnt some new juggling tricks after about 8 years of being able to juggle a cascade and nothing else.

spriral
machine (kinda)
mills mess (ish)

all 3 balls.

emotion of the day: dead chuffed

4b multiplex thingy that looks a bit like burkes but isn't quite.

4b mills is still making me cry - you think you got it and then realise you were kidding yourself and its actually the hardest thing ever

Proper straight-arm 5 beat weave where all 5 beats are done with the same arm straight... before I was doing a 4bt on one arm and then the other which was rather cheaty

I've got something down I'm calling the "split time 3-beat inverse butterfly weave" for lack of anything better to call it. I think this is technically correct tho... Basically, the 'over' hand makes a turn to being between chest and arms, wall plane. if you opened it up, it would look like an inverse (cross armed) butterfly buzzsaw (w/ the chains outside the arms, ./x\. where . is balls, / is chains, and x is wrists [in this figure, left poi is on right side at 3 o'clock coming up, right poi is on left side at 9o'clock going down]. So it's just throwing in this one crossed beat, cross body "inverse" of a butterfly. But since you can cross, you can cross right then left for a three beat. it's hard to synch up when to thread the wrist which way if I keep this up for a while, but it looks badassed. Technically, if your strings were short enough, you could just weave back and forth from full inverse butterfly to regular, but I can't make it look good yet myself.

I might throw this and a few other moves down on video, cuz I've never seen them done, and they're super easy, but super stylin'. horizontal butterfly weave for example...

umm.. what else is new? oh yeah, basic long string under the leg and "spanish lady" through wraps...

butterfly double handcuffs, (forward and reverse, duh) and butterfly double bicep wraps.

some funny trick stalls where I go into the stalls butterfly and come out weave, or vice versa. I'm getting them to look better at this point as they're still kind of wonky.

yeah the butterfly corks are fun and don't get near the time they should.. lol..

oooo me me me I learned the thread the needle thingy push thru butterfly watsit... not what can I do with it?

and then you have the butterfly weave

3 beat buzzsaw weave with left hand entering buzzsaw first when coming back from left hand side.

while at the glade during one of my 6 hour stewarding shifts i learnt how to do tangles that go like:

enter buzzsaw hyperloop from right,
move back to an outter hyperloop on right,
back to buzzsaw hyperloop,
then to outer hyperloop on left
then either exit or back to buzzsaw hyperloop and repeat.

Just got familiar with the btb 3 beat weave. My legs hurt.

(5)7777700(5)
or 5 balls flashed out of and back into a cascade.

and 7777770 flash (7 ball flash minus one ball).

just the once

Yo. Geekboy. Take that sh!t outside.

Like there's not a billion and two juggling sites to brag on.

If we're going to corrupt this thread with juggling what's next? Exam scores? New Cars? How many chicks I can pull on a Friday Night? (Note the use of British)

Or at least move it over to Staff Moves.

well whatever you say NYC, i'm still posting this:
i managed about 15 catches of 5 yesterday!!! (or 55555 in coleman terms) it's still pretty inconsistent but i'm getting there! whoooo.. 5 balls!! this has taken me soooo long, it's like learning to juggle all over again...

Well fine... then I'm braggin about dirty stop outs.

What... I'm ... "Improving my technique"

And yes, Thursday sounds lovely. I've done surpisingly little poi while here. But have been "Improving my technique" quite a bit.

you are a cheeky man mr nyc

unless you're talking about that plate-spinning workshop...

well, seeing as this is called the "i just learned a new move" thread, i demand to know exactly which moves are nyc's 'new' ones...

and plates don't count

Impolite to discuss matters involving the Queen in public.

We've got a tea date on Thursday my brother. PM me your email. You can flash your balls then.

I dread to think what NYC's London posse is going to have been told about me by the time I meet them in France

but his plates really were very impressive...

It's all in the wrist. And not holding the stick too tightly.

What?

Oh you people are perverts.

No worries my Queen, I won't kiss and tell. I'm a GENTLEman.

so why am I so bruised and bitten?

oh yeah, I just spent a week beating myself in new and interesting ways with my own and other people's toys, and insects think I'm tasty

bother


but just to keep this on topic
I learnt btb and in front waistwraps and revrese btb crossfollow
rob's matrix and many nice ways into it
poi matrixy goodness
hugs
isolations (forwards anyway)
spinning staff with my feet
lots of doubles contact staff with megmog

busy week
