Wrap Theory...... Theres millions of them!

ohh, i think i see now, its not wrap, recoil, trasition, unwrap, but wrap, reacoil and transition, unwrap, its like a partially stalled through wrap. no?

T

yep, thats it..It doesnt feel like much of a stall to me, I dunno. Again I think it looks better for ankle wraps because it feels smoother, looks better..

I get you, you dont actually have to recoil, you can do thease with stalls too.

T

hmm, stall eh? now I'm confused, might be a good topic to start for someone who has some time on their hands *nudge* *nudge*

eg.

take poi backwards and drop it over your shoulder, stall it there (straight down) and at the same time transtion your shoulder and start the poi up again, it sort of wiggles and comes out going the same direction.

What homie? Take that last sentence, take all the words out and add new ones.

Thanks.

is that better?

ahhh, ok, gotcha

Makes more sense now. It's a stall with a restart in the original direction?

actually you don't even have to wait until the crossover before restarting..this looksa pretty good front to back eh..now if I could get it to wrap btb after restarting

I had a look through the threads but couldn't find any direct reference to this question, so here goes -

Does anyone do spiral wraps with fire poi?

I've seen some people doing quick wraps and catches with fire, and these thigns are easy enough with normal poi, but I just wondered whether I'm likely to use the skin off my fingers by trying this.

yeah but skin heals- aloe is wonderful. this is funny, hey NYC, Dantana, where can i see videos of these guys doing their thing??? help an old man out...

spirals are ok, do wraps fairly early in the burn, cos hater the wick heats up too. Be very confident in what you doing and dont panic if they catch... just abort.

havent seen thsi one for a while.

pozee,

I dunno about fire, but theres some badass glowsticking stuff around, I like www.gyrauroras.com cos they are sweet kids and have good turtorial videos. tho a compleatly diffrent terminology than hop or spherc.

thanks, couldnt get there though, i got that page expired thinggy...

Wait... pozee?! Huh? I'm confused. What year is it?

Um... you know there's a whole "Video" section now right?

Not many people do vids of wraping poi. I do a ton, but that's why the cool kids tease me.

Wait... what are you asking?

So... confused. Did I fall in a timewarp? Didn't you fall off the map years ago? And didn't you used to do crazy wraps? You're the king!

I'm so lost...

video section? man i suck on computers, where is it? uh yeah i finally got a computer, WOW! there is a lot of people here. guess ihave been out of the loop for quite some time.

still play with fire, still doing wraps, their my favorite, although i do love my staff as well, and the ropes, and the breathing,

did i mention my glowsticks...

S'ok. I just did my first cross over wrap today. Falling to the "I know there's some new stuff that I wanted to practice but I can never remember anything when I'm actually HOLDING my poi" syndrome for years on that one.

Sorry guys, gotta plug the good ole www.glowsticking.com

So, who has done/heard of duowraps with fire poi yet? If no one's attempted it I am prepared to fry myself in the process. Duowraps... tutorial- http://www.glowsticking.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=3350&st=0

Or check out my video in the media center. I am rearing to see this done with fire...

EDIT- Yes, I have a good video of these crazy kids doing all sorts of wraps with fire poi, including spirals. It's called Fire Tribe @ Cyberfest.

Hit me up on PM if you want me to send it to you.

Funny, I was JUST about to plug glowsticking.com

Yeah... the vids there are the wrap center of the universe.

ok, nice wrap vids for sure, but am I missing something there? because I am not really finding all that much info on wraps besides 10 or so "wrap 101" lessons. is there more than that and the search just isn't pulling it up for me? seems like there should be with it being glowstringing and all

nice duowrap BTW - I got something similar to that with fire but i like you variation with the double around the first arm. what I do (learned from poibox) is something between that and a handcuff wrap (maybe an opened handcuff wrap?). basically around both opposing wrists and around bouncing on the home wrist - same as your vid but both hands at once and no doubling around the first wrist. got is solid with fire (as does poibox).

another I have is a thru wrap from forward weave, left poi on right forearm, then bringing that into a buzzsaw pattern bringing it into forarm wraps with both poi (so left poi has a wrap on right forarm and one on left, right poi has two on left forearm only, arms held in T-shape with right arm pointing forward and left arm across body). Bring it out by rotating 180 and making isolation type wiggle movements to get the whole thing into to snap out via reverse buzz saw. watch out for the tricky flop the left poi likes to do to lock itself while you are turning.

can pull this off about 50% or the time with sock poi, and actually managed it once with fire but it wasn't pretty (hoping to perfect it by Falmouth). Actually beginning to think it is easier to avoid the left poi locking with ballchain than with sock poi.
