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

always showing me up Jon!!! GRRR!!!!

btb hyperloops and some crazy throw stuff where i throw the handle into my other arm so it flicks it the other way in the air or so it shoots right back town into my other hand. Ahh sooooo much fun

hahaha woo!! I'm the master!! :P

just tidied up my btb 3bt weave... outwards buttfly ttn (next step is 3 beat butterfly weave)

I tried bummerflies... i'm not very good, I keep my bum when I do them lol, is it just one beat you got behind? or infinite?

9 beat contact swaps which I've described in the contact poi thread, 7 beat weaves, butterfly hyperloops, btb butterfly waistwraps and some other contact stuff that needs weighted handles to do cleanly.

double wibble multiplex start, into a (now getting more solid) normal wibble pattern...

'not evenly weighted, short doubles meteors'
i think wibble has a better ring to it...

I started messing around with three point anti-spin flowers last night. They look soooo nice on camera.

Jus found out the fun-ness of underarm + overarm throws, hyperloops and anti~spin weaves into anti~spin 4 petal flowers!!!!

Oh the spinniness of it all!!!!

You'll have to show me this weekend!!

horizontal buzzsaws both ways and basic horizontal buzzsaw hyperloops both ways in that up/down motion thing

I've been making comlpex patterns with by mix-matching parts of compound circles (flowers, buzzsaw fountains, and the like). I just need more practice in open spaces so I can really work with this. I also have been working on 180 and 360 degree pirouettes from any more. I think this will make my spinning much more dynamic.


Oh and I can do fwd & rev, 3 bt & 5 beat, 1st degree inversion in a weave now and I can turn them. I also fuond some pretty neat uses for inversions in atoms.

Turning anti spin Flowers. And reverse antispin Flowers.

I could feel these coming on ages ago, but only tonight have I decided they're solid enough to post...

Also (thanks to Bluecat) learnt to do the inside-out airwrap, (as well as the outside-in airwrap that I could already do) which stops me doing a not so nice (but kinda inconspicuous to the untrained eye) plane break when doing continual airwraps...

Also learnt about Insides, and how to recognise them as well.

All sorts of Geekery, really...

Double post

But Thanks to Eccles, I can finally do Butterfloops!

I've been trying to get these ever since I could do any form of tangle...

wahay! nice one mr ed..

today i learnt...

a really nice tangled barrel roll.
a refinement of the doublewibble start
a tasty ( ) bth to inside buzzsaw fountain

er. that'll do for the morning. off too teapots tonight to see if i can still remember them then...

I managed to execute that under the leg thing Nx showed me back in november. or was it october. cant remember. Anyhow, I get it now! yay!

I managed to do a full waist wrap with a body turn thrown in.

cool!!!

PS: Whats a butterfloop? that word makes me want to laugh, it sounds like something goofy.

Butterfloop = Butterfly Hyperloop.

I like that name for them because it does sound a bit silly...

yay... an i didn't even have to show you!

right i'm posting this cos it's the only move i've remembered that i've 'learnt' in ages and it sounds silly and makes it look like i'm keeping abreast (where? do you have any photos?) of this rapidly forward moving new move scenario so... yesterday i learnt:

-a backards wrong weave (trailing poi comes inside as you move across your body) which felt great and looked wierd to me but apparently looks just like a normal weave to someone watching it on fire... also been tryng to turn between b/w and f/w versions. you get a weird non barrel roll type motion going on if you do one right after t'other...

edit: rovo's last post just reminded me of another idea i was playing with with (?) oli t'other day, butterfly buzzsaw fountains. means one poi goes spin, t'other poi goes antispin. hard to do the above the head transition though... wow.. two moves remembered in one day, they're like buses...

i was doing btb stuff too (i think, garthy showed me a behind the back inversion, and ive been playing with btb buzzsaws today

am sure i learnt a few moves earlier aswell but like dub seem to have problems rememebering them...

hehe... i'd forgotten about those buzzsaws we were doing, using the back two circles of a normal waistwrap to buzzsaw on the wall plane under the armpit...

what's this btb inversion then?

i feel all technical posting in this thread twice in one day...

*giggles to himself*

I've just been playing with Poi and Body popping together...

Body waves work really nicely with a few stalls...

Now to get my body to do the waves to correspond with the switching from normal to antispin...

I finally managed to do reverse buzzsaw and (awfully) what I think is a reverse buzzsaw weave. Also, finally got the butterfly buzzsaw, though can't do much with it yet. Working on what I THINK are waist wraps, and cleaning up my horizontal buzzsaws.

Man, I need to find someone who can help me name stuff. I'll find them, I'm sure.

Have fun,

Jazz

P.S. Dude, I feel so n00b next to the hardcore funksters above.

I just nailed BTB 5 beat weave turns! Super chuffed

Moves are moves are moves.. there are no moves, only flow... that being said, I guess I'll join in with what I'm playin with these days..

waist wrap (suck at it, need to be more limber)
infinite verticle hyperloop with chains and fire
infinite horizontal hyperloop (strill tryin to solidify the release)
wraps with fire (got over my fear of fuel transfer last week)
throws with chains and fire.. tryin to transfer the fun I had with socks
antispin weave forward and reverse and transtion between the two

sleep.. I still gotta figure out how to sleep, I keep forgetting..

you have no idea how many times this has been said in here (or maybe you do!).... i'm sorta with you on it but more to the point is that i usually don't consider having learnt a new move nowadays until i've got it solid and by then it's no longer a new move so i forget about posting it...

an garth, thanks, but why the hell would it be BHB? Behind His/Her Back? Behind Head Back? Big Hairy Bumhole? Surely BTB is for Behind The Back and BTH is Behind The Head... not that it matters. All names are names are names. There are no names only circles...

i just learned the backwards weave =)
