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

Right so i finally started learning some moves, i learnt how to do the butterfly, overhead butterfly and things like that, i can do thise okay, and today i finally got the 3bw, ( but its messy) any suggestions on whats easy to learn next? its very addatcive so it is

Yo yo yo!

I dunno if this is really a beginner move but I wanted to show off coz it took me a while to learn.

One handed butterfly 'flying' around in a flower. Gotta say it's mighty difficult to learn how to do that with chains.

gubster: Nice going, next thing I would suggest is to clean up what you can do, then learn it all backwards.

Jaque: Sounds cool.

Horizontal "elbow" corkscrew - Where in the upper part
both hands touch the ooposite elbow.

360's rock!

thx Yu,

:R

I just did a butterfly, w00t! (Ok, probably not impressive, but I'm happy about it. So don't go ruin my mood T__T.)

Very cool. It can be tough one to crack

i should probably update this..

in the past couple of weeks.. ive gotten the not-coleman, other inversion things, hybrid inversions, a couple of line isolations, some kick-ups, and integrating penduli into hybrid/flowery type things

been busy

i thought i was doin ok learnin 3 beat weave, butterfly, giant butterfly and one i made up myself in two days but me thinks ive got alot more practicing to do after reading this!!!!

One you made up? Do tell....

Genuinely interested if you can not tell or if you think I am being sarcastic....

Yay! Antispinny flowery goodness finally clicked.

Been working those for a while.
*gets back to studying*

Thanks for interest mate. Im not even sure if its already been done or weather its so easy that noones bothered but i was happy that i did it anyway.

Ill stop tallkin crap now and tell u what it was.

Get both poi spinnin either side of you at the same time(like before your gonna go into a butterfly) then cross both hands over your body bringin the poi opposite sides then bring them back again.

Very simple and not really visually impressive but hey its another to say i can do

Sorry to say it is the latter.

At least if I understand you right, it is the move that pretty much everyone given a pair of poi and told "here, spin these" tries first.

Once you get comfortable you can slide into a butterfly from it in a "sneaky" way. And it is a good way to start teaching 3bt weaves.

Keep exploring though, you never know when someone with a new perspective may stumble across something that no one has thought of.

And you are making good progress, keep it up.

Yesterday I learned the 5 beat weave YAY

*dances*

I was so happy I was grinning for the rest of the day

Got the overhead butterfly yesterday , ive gotta get the backward 3 beat weave though its doin my head in.

Forward and rev three beat btb. Now to work on turning the damned things....

Progress is made on flowers and releases. Even some catches.

Will need to modify my poi if I want to do those with fire though.

Three beat f***ing weave! I can finally do it. So happy now. Took me ages. First had to learn 2 beat with both hands on top. Then break it down in the 3 beat.. and suddenly it popped and I did it. *happy*

Edit: And most of it thanks to NathanielEverist! Yay. Thanks mate.

i've just learned last this friday how to do spiral wraps! hooray!!! good move for my 2 months of poi-playing anniversary! lol

CJDemon, keep it up! I know the feeling, and Nathaniel helped me loads too!

I DID MY FIRST FIRE PLAY YESTERDAY!!!
I'm so excited about it =]
I used 3 different size fire-poi, and some fire fans, and only got 1 small burn on my finger =D

I'm mega happy about it =]
Sorry ... Had to get that off my chest! =]

Nice going. Stay safe.
