Your most impressive move

i always find that the most impressive move is the one that i cant quite do!

A spiral wrap from the four beat corkscrew........Why didn't I think of that?? I HAVE to get my overworked ass down to S.F. ,,,as soon as tourist season ends.

ok...im almost certain im going to be ridiculed for life over this comment. Well, here goes...what exactly is an isolation...and is there any videos i can watch to assist my understanding...and is there any chance someone can help me learn?

cheers

Read the thread better.



You'll see that the Kind Mr M. T. Beer has added a link, which will help you on your quest...

Mine is the amazing "hit my self in alternate eyes and shoulders while doing a btb 3beat weave."
I've tidied it up now so i hit my eyes less often

Hey, its getting there, dude!

At this point (which is admittedly quite early in my spinning) my most impressive move would have to be the one-handed, behind the back butterfly....All I know is it is a bit tricky still... I know, I know, not that impressive....

Here is an animation of me

An isolation is where the poi rotate in the middle of them selfs instead of at your hand. http://www.feuershow.de/ for examples of nice isolations (look under tutorials, and adanced poi moves.) My greatest 'move' or whatever is the isolate 5beat weave(forward and reverse.) While I have been spinning here and there I try to get comment on my spinning about what looks good and what doesnt, and I have only gotten good comments about the isolate, infact, thats the thing most people point out when they comment on my spinning. When its done right and the poi are rotating at the other had (looking like im just moving them and not 'spinning' them or appling force,) it looks AMAZING.

Well it turns out that my most impressive move is the BTB hyperloop pirouette vortex!

VORTEX!

Well...isolation in dance means that one part of your body is doing one movement, while other parts of your body is doing something totally different. So maybe an isolation is when you are doing a wrap with one area of the body while spinning with the other? Takin' a guess here...but I am pretty sure that is what it means.

Tawney, you couldnt be more wrong, especially if you had actually looked at the posts describing what an isolation is.

FREE TIBET, you look very much like a guy who i did foundation with. are you simon from photography?

probably not.

ive just nailed the 4bt windmill, and loving it.

my hyperloops need toning up, and isolations still mock me.

my favourite move is still 3bt/5bt into reverse weave.

Isolation
From Wikipoidia

A style of spinning where the center of rotation is somewhere along the poi itself rather than at part of your body. There are different places where the center of rotation can be, but isolation on its own refers to the centre being halfway between the poi handle and poi head.

:R

I can spin them in a circle, i rock...

I managed to figure out how to do a Buzzsaw to Butterfly transitiony thing... The sad thing is that I can't get into butterfly normally. I guess I need to work on that.

There is a big story how to get to butterfly when both Poi goes same dirrection and vice versa.Normaly is inpossible becase

Poi keep it's direction.

There is group of fundamental families, that can help you to bypass it
such as:
Wrap
Still
Pendulum
