coleman big and good Registered: 29/08/02 Loc: lunn dunn, yoo kay	hey sacha - i remember you from spitalfields. sounds like you've been playing lots quote: Originally posted by Sacha: has anyone seen someone do an isolation where they can keep the poi in the centre of the circle and have their hands going round the outside of the circle? is that even possible according to physics? i don't reckon it is. just my opinion but the forces required to keep a poi stationary in this position would mean ridiculously fast circles with short poi and the most accurate muscles in the world. so can any of you isolation doers out there manage a 90 degree gap rather than a 180deg one? i've been trying with zero success. it feels so unnatural that my body has become confused and has begun developing gills on the off chance that they might help. _________________________ "i see you at 'dis cafe. i come to 'dis cafe quite a lot myself. they do porridge." - tim westwood

[Nx?] Scoiattolo de mare Registered: 05/11/01 Loc: Europe,Scotland,Both	yo, I been getting the isolation buzzsaw recently and I got two things to add. 1: isolationjs are much easier with poi that have very heavy heads and light strings. 2: I think what he means by a 90 degree gap is that instead of the isolation going together, oppisite wick to opposit hand, but in a cross sopinning isolation, that has been happening to me quite a lot, but by accident.

coleman big and good Registered: 29/08/02 Loc: lunn dunn, yoo kay	90deg gap: with normal isolations the poi heads and your hands are 'in line' ie. the left hand poi sits next to your right hand and vice versa. this is a 180 deg gap. when you do this normal isolation, it looks like your hands are turning a crank with handles at opposite sides of the circle eg. at six and tweleve on a clock. what i'm talking about are isolations with your hands 90deg apart eg. starting at nine and twelve on a clock. if it is possible to learn , it will look like a spinning cross. get it? _________________________ "i see you at 'dis cafe. i come to 'dis cafe quite a lot myself. they do porridge." - tim westwood

NothingsPerfect member Registered: 20/05/02 Loc: Warwick, Rhode Island	Wow, that sounds awesome. Unfortunately, I've only learned same time isolations so far. My hands don't like to do isolations at different speeds or start times. =/ I also haven't gotten isolations on the insides of my arms down well because I normally use strings a bit too long for that. Ah well, all in good time. _________________________ ~And when the day arrives I'll become the sky, and I'll become the sea, and the sea will come to kiss me for I am going home.

Actually I have done it befor. It does require a super fast and super accurate movement. I have found it is easiest using electroglo poi. _________________________ we eat and we drink and we smoke and we try!
