coleman big and good and broken Registered: 29/08/02 Loc: lunn dunn, yoo kay	Written by: SamboFlux I can't figure out how to get into them, so I figured starting with a front waist wrap is as good a way as any... any tips for practising btb? try just spinning the two beat weaves in the wallplane btb (waistwrap) positions. if you learn all of them before you even try getting between them (which is what a btb ww is) you'll be much better prepared and should have few problems learning the actual ww's if you're mor of a 'jump straight in' learner, try doing the 1-2-3-carry sequence with your poi and hands together and gradually split them so they're in follow-time. cole. x _________________________ "i see you at 'dis cafe. i come to 'dis cafe quite a lot myself. they do porridge." - tim westwood

Randragonsbane newbie Registered: 01/07/05	Yay! My last post was on page 73 about 2-3 beat weaves and windmills... Now I've added: TTN reverse spin TTN 4-5 beat weaves (forward and backward) 3 beat BTB reverse weave What I think is an isolation weave... What I think is an antispin weave some crazy btb wraps and transfers 4 beat windmill (probably 5 too but haven't tried) Mexican Wave A handful of wraps/stalls Progressing along nicely. Can't get the BTB 5 beat reverse or ANY BTB forward weave... and my windmill is only in one direction... the other direction just doesn't exist

eatyourbiscuit newbie Registered: 14/06/06 Loc: Aberdeen, Scotland	ive been able to do a heap of complicated stuff that seems complicated to learn for ages but yesterday i learned my own personal jedi move....the behind the back 3 beat weave... i have been trying it for weeks with no joy and then yesterday i suddenly had a flash of inspiration and i got it, its still a bit sloppy on occasion but i do have it, its weird how you can try a move for ages with no joy and all you get is a lot a ouch and then one day something changes and you have the move and you cant for the life of you see what was so hard about it in the first place... im so chuffed i managed to get it, desite having a fairly wide range of tricks and moves under my belt i felt that the only thing that would make me any good was the btb weave, now i must find another move that mystifies me personaly Andy _________________________ "...be all that you can be, just as long as you are free..."

I nailed the BTB 3 beat reverse not too long ago, and I've more recently smoothed it out only to realize that I can't transfer in and out of it... Then I decided to come up with combinations in and out, and in the process learned btb butterflies on my left side, btb butterflies, BTB TTN (a little sloppy still), and a few btb wraps in various places on my arms/legs. My new task is airwraps.... got them about 3/10 tries now, but can't figure out what I'm doing wrong for the other 7

russtafari stranger Registered: 19/07/06	woo hoo! i finally got round to making my counter-weighted hi-viz jacket sock poi this week, and i've been wibbling away like a mad thing - still drop them half the time but i can feel a whole new world opening up. contact poi is the shiznit! also discovered 5bt ttn totally by accident, and a weird butterfly weave which is like forward antispin weave with your right poi spinning backwards, split time. feels wrong but nice. and i can get into a butterfly hyperloop now, just not out again

newmillsidiot Member Registered: 19/09/06 Loc: New mills	I have finally worked out how to do the basic butterfly, and learnt a very valuable lesson while trying to learn the 3 beat indoors- don't do it near a lightbulb! I am working on learning how to split time by 180, but for some reason i just cant do it... >.<

87wt2gxq7 veteran Registered: 12/04/05 Loc: Birmingham	Eep! No idea what it's called, but I've just invented this thing where I'm spinning round, the poi of my leading hand btb on the other side, then I tangle the handle of that poi with the head of the other, ping it up in the air so it's spinning horizontally, then catch it with t'other hand. It's a poor cousin to the trick I want to do, which is catching it in a horizontal over-the-head propellor, but seeing as I can't propel yet, I'm quite pleased

87wt2gxq7 veteran Registered: 12/04/05 Loc: Birmingham	I think I just got some kind of 3-beat (btb) waistwrap going! I could even do 4-beat on the left side when spinning anticlockwise (so that they go in front of left shin, up close to the midline, laterally in front of left shoulder, and down again on the 'outside' of my body). But I can only do a 3-beat again on the right side. anyone know of some handy n-beat waistwrap threads where n>2? Yes I've searched, but all the ones I casually glanced at seem to be 'standard' ww threads...
