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

Ah the wiggling.... Missed your reply Jameth.

The Wiggle is awesome. You can also do it off same direction reels, which gets a different sort of wiggle.

Hehehe, I love the same direction reels wiggle... especially while twirling around in circles! Wheeeeeeeeeee!

Aha! This afternoon I shall try wiggling in the same direction then.

I may be a while.

Go forth and wiggle in all directions Jameth, wiggle while turning, wiggle in any way you can think to wiggle and be joyous while doing so!


(Sorry, too hard to resist such a fantastic sentence)

'twas fun



(mix 'em up)

Haz killed the thread!

The whole "Technical/moves" area has had a slump, I feel.

hay up all
dose any one have any names of tricks i can learn coz im new to poi and dont know what the tricks are called and that in turn makes it difficult to find thank you all and
WELL DONE EVERY BOADY YOU ARE ALL DOING GRATE KEEP IT UP AND DONT GIVE IN

Jump on the tutorial section of this site http://www.homeofpoi.com/lessons_all/teach/Library-POI-3_0_0 , chief, use www.poipoi.info/tuition as a supplement, but I honestly don't fancy much else, but their tutorials are nicely made, if a little mislabeled (In terms of beginner, intermediate advanced) . When you've powered through that, go on http://www.playpoi.com/poi-lessons for his tutorials. Nathaniel Everest had a massive burst of activity a while back and created a heap of decent beginner/intermediate tutorials, you should be able to find those on youtube reasonably easily. http://www.youtube.com/user/NathanielEverist

Or if you're up to this stage just watch lots of videos... anything you like, try to replicate it... remember NOTHING is too hard to learn, you just need the practice... the only vague exception is that some movements are built on from other movements and so you'll need the earlier ones.

Good luck, pilch.

cheers my good man of woman (tick as apropriate) I shall have a wander through and not blame you for any black eyes that might acoure

Yay, I've just learnt a reverse 3bt weave! I think looking at my shadow has helped a bit ... fortunately weather turned sunny and I didn't have to practice inside my room crashing furniture.
Suma sumarum it's a constant pain in my right thigh and a bruise on my head. But hell, I've nailed the bugger! Mwahaha, can't wait to move on (:

hybrids. because im really at a loss for what to do. and only on the left side for wall flowers and the right side for weave. gggrrrr

I just figured out how to do forward 3bt weave Thanks to Yuta's awesome video lesson on it

have the butterfly 1.5 weave down quite nicely now, cant turn with it yet though

orbitals, as much as i do lament them, are also coming along

i still refuse to do spiral wraps

Hmm. Lets see, finally got TTN, and I'm working on the buzzsaw isolation. It looks pretty I think.

I've been trying to throw an isolation into my weave now and again for a kick... lol....

I was contemplating a 1 poi move, but I don't think it'd be too productive while performing, aside from the "photo-op".
I haven't seen it before, and when your doing it it really doesn't look too pretty, At least, watching me try to do it doesn't look pretty.

A figure 8 or an infinity sign using stalls and a little bit of an isolation. Making an "X" patter with a little momentum to carry across the middle of the X shape and then stall and get momentum going the other way...

*shrug* Could be nothing, but I'm trying it regardless.

Sounds like it could be interesting.

Not sure that I entirely understand though....

Take a look at your HoP Icon.
Starting on the right you spin up and stall the poi to the top left side of the symbol, then spin the other direction and stall through to the top of the other side, rinse, and repeat. *shrug*

Like I said, I'm not sure if it's plausible, but I'm going to play with it for a bit, see if I can get it prettier.
Feel free to do the same, heh.

*click* Got it, I think. At any rate, I get a cross out of the pattern I am thinking of.

Will play with that as well then.

That does seem interesting for a photo. If you do happen to pull it off I'd like to check it out. Please do share if/when you nail it!!

I figured out how to do some basic isolations and a revesre 3bt
