How the hell do i fwd weave + 180 turn!?!

all i want 2 know is how the hell do you turn 180 degrees and do the fwd weave!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

thanx in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!

SsJ KaKaRoTtO,

Start by learning the forward weave http://www.juggling.co.nz/theweave.htm
Watch the top animation to see closeup what the arms are doing.
Then learn to do it in reverse, cause that is what you will be doing when you turn 180 degrees.

Hope this and the animations help

it will involve twatting yourself a few times.

select a side of your forward weave and when you go to that side step your body round so that the side you have chosen becomes a backwards weave on your other side. ie. if you chose your left, turn your body towards the left(quickly) so that it is now a bckwards weave on your right and then do the backwards weave(maybe practise this first?)

thats all i can think of.

TO START WITH I LEARNED TO TURN ANTI CLOCKWISE. DO THE WEAVE AND AS YOU COME TO THE BEATS ON THE LEFT OF YOUR BODY, FOLLOW THE POI AROUND. YOU SHOULD NOW BE SPINNINING THE IN A BACKWARDS WEAVE ON YOU LEFT HAND SIDE, HAVING TURNED 180' :P

I actually learnt the backward weave this way and have taught people by getting them to turn and reverse the motion. It seems more natural than starting backwards.

thats a good idea...because i am having a hellahard time gettig the backwards weave started, but i did almost get the 180 turn. I thought i was doing it wrong because the Strings changed direction...
