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

been doing some nice 2 handed wibbling, it's got a lovely rhythm to it, Like when you see someone with 2 devilsticks doing double propellors. But with wibbles the poi just tick tock direction and bounce high and low.

Been mixing in some behind the back throws and tossing dibbles to opposite hands, all of which really messes with my head and could definitely be called "2 softClub juggling"

I figured out how to tangle on the right outside my arms then bring the tangle into buzzsaw and then throw the poi outside my arms on the left and it always comes seamlessly undone. I can do just a buzzsaw tangle, however this version <always> comes undone. And I figured out hyperloop butterflys, the trick is to go forwards butterfly and buzzsaw them for half a beat till the strings tangle then stand behind it again, they untangle everytime. I linked both of these tangles togeather with a bounce wrap on one arm yesterday.

wooo hoooo i just managed to do hyperloops...yeay!!

its taken me longer to get than any other move and i managed rip my nosestud out in the process!

yippeeeeeeeeeee

i just got hyperloops too!! but i can only do them with socks at the moment, that still counts though, doesn't it?

also have unlocked the uh 5bt weave, clockwise 4 bt corkscrew (so much harder than counterclockwise for me for some reason), and "the matrix move," for which i clearly have to build up lower back and abdominal strength to do repeatedly. can only do that one counterclockwise so far. also, antispin flowers.

been a productive month.

Got my first clean whip catch last night, I've got the idea now at the least.

Sorry to but in-- Please recommend a forum where I can find out what the devil half of this stuff is???

Antispin--flowers--matrixmove--wibbles--?? *so confused*

erm......I think you're already in it

or

you could wander over to Spitlefields Market on a Tuesday night

Unfortunately the Spherculism encyclopoidia is down at the moment, but when it's back up it's got definitions for all this stuff...

Spitlefields Market? Is that up north like Shropshire??
*Not looked at a map yet*

I just learned to take my 3btweave under my right leg , round the back, and back from under my left leg... I have to make a mighty hop/leap halfway through though, think I need to shorten my strings for that one!

Spitz is in London-

Check the thread HERE
and get yourself down there

reverse btb weave and turns ^_^

btb is so incredably rewarding, i love it!

sorry to but in guys but if u want a simple way to learn the 5 beat 4wards do wot i did and watch the the poi lessons video clip for the 5 beat until u cant 4get the hand movements then go out and try it worked 4 me.

so happy, just got the btb weave turns too, sparky you are too right.

also got a btb butterly -> out -> spin 180 -> butterfly

yay

cheers, pete

btb windmill, full turns on each side.

Oh, and some weird thing where the poi just dangles down as it's lifted over my shoulder. With contact for 'sensual' poi...

air wraps, sort of. i've done it, and i can do it again, but not reliably at all that's okay, i'll just keep working at 'em, i finally understand what the heck they are

I'm happy I just learned the normal "hyperloop buzzsaw" (tangler in yo-yo terms) with two dead yo-yos. I had trouble learning it with my sock poi, but I suppose that's because they are normal socks that have some thickness to them. Using string seemed easier since you could get 4 or 5 complete revolutions just from having your hands pefectly still (the socks would die out way quicker because of how the trick twists things up).

But now I finally figured out how to keep the thing going using hand motions (left hand keeps the left poi going, right keeps the right one going), so that is really fun. I've kept it going maybe 10-15 revolutions now before exiting.

And that illustration I posted earlier is what I learned the basic air wrap from. Keep in mind that they should both be slightly off angle from the wall plane and that they should start to wrap above your hands. Then when gravity pulls it downward, it'll start to unwrap when it is below your hands (that change of axis is what makes the trick work).

Now I gotta try doing hyperloop buzzsaw in the other direction (forward) and the harder variations. Fun stuff!

HIya all, this is the first time I've posted on the poi section of HOP, I have been a staff / dual staff / fans twirler for ages and only dared to pick up poi in January! anyways, I've spent a heap of time practicing these last few weeks...and yay, I'm a poi addict too now
Latest learnings: have figured out the 7 beat weave, its a little uneven, so need to practice it more, but I don't tangle like I did to begin with... ooh, and now am trying to learn the standard weave btb. Weeeeeee!

A propeller round the neck and then down the arm. One time in ten

Orbital thingie

split-direction weave!!!! yay!!

Man is this thread ever long...

Well my first HOP post, and my new move is...*drumroll*

The Behind The Back 5 Beat Forward Weave. *ta-da*

I've been working on cleaning up my BTB5BtRevWeave, and today I cracked the Forward, and it's clean enough I'm turning between the two. So thought I'd post...

~M

Nice and simple post. Just did my first ever butterfly arm wraps with fire and got my first ever burn marks! After about 6 months of fire, it's about time.

aight, been practicing:
flynts solar flare (sp?) (chasing the sun to right (inner thigh) leg wrap, right hand poi wrap off wrist, into flutterby)

corkscrew bum spin, to rolling round on the ground, and out, unburnt

also, slow swinging, just goin in a U with each poi (kind of a slow starting thing) kick right hand chain with foot (kinda rope darty) go into something fast, looks cool

finally, btb3beat weave spins

workin on btb5beat

cheers, pete

NYC! NYC!!!!! I nailed the 4-beat TTN! HAHAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Erm... TTN?
Help me out here man! WT* is TTN?

thread the needle. I can't believe I know something useful!

A nice stall/throw combo from a butterfly.

A couple of other stalls and linky togethery moves.

it's not really new...

i'm starting to focus on kicks and slaps (i think sum1 reffered to it as bodypopping - correct me if i'm wrong - okay i'm wrong!)

i've got dead stalls and wraps tapped nicely... but have never really worked with kicks, slaps and bounces.

It's quite a bit of fun!

*shrugg*

I have learned the "Vampire Kiss" and I learned the reverse thread the needle from the COL 5 DVD those are my two recent "new" moves
