Discrepancy on this site

Has anyone else noticed that the two main pages describing the 5 beat weave contradict each other?

On http://www.homeofpoi.com/new14.htm it says:

You'll notice that the pattern for your right poi when doing 5 beats is 3 on your right and 2 on your left.

In other words, the 3 is on the SAME side.

While on http://www.homeofpoi.com/articles/beats.htm it says:

This is the weave (or chase) where each poi does two swings on its side and three swings on the other side of the body.

I belive that there are actually two different tricks here. I can do the second one, but I don't think it is the same as the trick shown in the animation of the first page. (Unfortuanately it is not a real clear video)

those seem the same to me...
same,other/ left, right...
whats the difference?

In the first one the 3 is on the same side and in the second the 3 is on the opposite side.

is that to say that a 3 beat weave with
2 beats on the left and 1 on the right
is a different move than
1 beat on the left and 2 on the right?

AFAIK, the 3beat weave is only done with 2 on the opposite side and 1 on the same side.

I see what you're saying, bitslayer
I dont even see how the first one would work????

I don't either, but the video does look different from what I do. I think.

opposite side and same side...
that makes no sence at all...
in relation to what???
each other?
they are both opposite to each other
and they are both same to themselves.

shizNOT, I am using the terms opposite and same to refer to which side the beat is on compared to the hand it is in. An opposite swing from the poi in your right hand would be on your left. Does that make sense?

It means:
With your left hand go 3 beats on the left side, and 2 on the right
with your right hand go 2 beats on the left and 3 on the right

the first one is relative to your right hand
the second is relative to your left hand

bitslayer,

Good spotting. I shall fix this up .

Thanks
