Hybrid Moves

orenico showed me a most wonderful hybrid thing last night, ill try and make a quick vid of it at some point.. this week

awesome looking forward to that.... i really love your shirt but then again i am that way inclined... those flower things... i have been doing them for a while with only the vertical petals its cool to mix them up a bit and a four petal looks awesome when your timing is perfect...

i think a rather large session is about due, shall we say, friday weekish?

last sunday, orenico showed me a new hybrid thing (i think) he created.. see it here

essentially.. youre just doing a forward hybrid on one side, stalling one poi vertically, the other horiztonally, then doing a forward hybrid on the other side, but my stalls are a little off

That's ace!

I came across a cool one yesterday. I'd been messing about with some snags, particularly grabbing the head of the snagged poi and using it to control the snagging poi, like at 00:30 - 00:35 in this here video by Rovo.



You end up with a poi head in your hand, and if there's a little bit of weight to your handles you can do some crazy looking hybrids with it, isolating the other poi. It feels like olos due to the weight difference, but the poi are the same length, it's a bit weird. You can do all the weave and hyperloop type tricks, the only limitation is that you have to keep the same poi isolated unless you swap hands.

Edited to add detail.

that flower thing i mentioned thats in your vid pete.. its just a two beat buzzsaw flower, as i said i had been doing it with vertical petals then you explained your horozontal so i put them together and thats the four beat i mentioned... this is just a four beat buzzsaw flower... but to look at it from a hybrid background really helps make it look way nicer... and if done properly one hand will be only doing the vertical petals and one hand only doing the horozontail petals... also doing the antispin version of this gives insight into the antispin hybrid and why is is such an ass... see you in 18 hrs petey

biatches!

What's the difference between a buzzsaw flower anda buzzsaw fountain? My understanding of a flower has the hands on opposite sides of the body, so it couldn't be put into buzzsaw.

Basicly fountain is flower. But fountain, divided into
low turn and hight turn part. Has no beat behind
your head within hight turn. Where flowers ussally
have. Fountain is wall plane too, where most of the
flowers are wheel plane reels.

Applied to buzzsaw the lower part still stay, but with
the upper buzzsaw fountain use watter mill, flower
do not.

There is something cooking in here,

Go Pete!

light,

i *saw* what brett was talking about, a couple of days ago... i was severely sleep deprived at the time, so my memory of it is not so good... i do recall thought that it looked good

am seeing brett again soon though, and may have a practice today

i can see me now and yeah i do look quite good

yeh, ive got the concept down now, it seems to work... ill practice it in the next few days

ALL RIGHT:



a) Bolo



b) Olos

Yellow point - Represent center of rotation.

lightning,

Please, can someone confirm
the previous statement?

lightning,

:R

yes, that fits with all my hybrids so far

the red lines confused me for a little bit though.. i think i understand it now though

With Olos the one poi is shortened by wrapping around the hand.
I'm not sure if that's what you're drawing there....

It looks like your spining one poi like a meteor which is an interesting concept..

So I'd write...

p = poi
h = hand
r = centre of rotation

p-----r-----hh-----------p

p-----r-----hh-----p


Is that clear?
Or am i reading it all wrong?

yup, that seems right to me garthy

im happy

hybrid propellor

not so smooth...I have to work it a lot more...but propellor is isolated instead so can be easly used as "isolated poi" of an hybrid ...I suppose...

Acciaio

also, thought id point out some hybrids in here: http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=5816135104350618256
