The Poi "I just learned a new advanced move / combo" thread

Passing whip catches

nice

I am not too sure if this is the right place - but I got a new move too.

what it is:
A one handed cartwheel into a jumping poi threw the legs maneuver.

Brake down:
1. take both poi into the left hand - hold at end of chains.
2. Spin them helicopter style above your head clockwise (poi spinning towards face)
3. When poi pass your head - throw your self in to a one hand cartwheel (hand with poi should be by groin when upside down poi will be between your legs in the air.
4. when you finish the cartwheel leap into the air sending the poi under your right leg, then to your left.

Done.

Sounds weird trying to explain it -- umm.. if you dont understand PM me with questions and I will try to tell you more

Thanks and good luck~

Hi I'm new to this forum, so hello.

learnt a few new tricks today.

a butterfly hyperloop being one. video

BTB hyperloop - Backward easier, forward
need more practise.

----------------------------

Mission completed.

next level,

:R

Whohooo

After long practice I finally got the butterfly spiralwrap just as I like it, smooth and precise and without any big moves with my arms/hands.

I also got the splittime butterfly weave fully in splittime without any sliptime :P

I had one idea as well. Left hand isolated forward in buzzawplane while my right doing cat eyes with the hand to left wick and then change between horizontal and vertical cateyes :P SWWWWWEEEEEET!

*HAPPY*

EJC! :P

Thomas, how are you doing the horizontal cateyes?? I can get it once or twice if I'm lucky but I can't sustain it at all.

Hmmm, maybe you think I´m rude and short now but I think if you talk about cateyes and know how it works and you probably do if you know what a cateye is?! Then there is nothing for me to help yuo with cos the rest is just practice to get the feeling, the cateye itself is very easy to do and to understand but hard to get sustainable....
I´m rude now?

The tip I could give is first to make sure that you can controll a 3 and 4 pedal antispin. If you wnna do cateye hybrids with islolation I recomend first to learn 3 or 4 pedal antispin with right hand next left end of poi that is islotaed in buzzaw.

I hope I helped you a little bit?! I´m a really bad teacher online and especially in english so please come to <EJC and I promisse I will teach it to you

Haha unfortunately the EJC is in Europe, where I am not!

I've got the vertical cateye fine, that's no problem at all, it's just the horizontal cateye that I can't seem to get my head around. Every now and then I *think* I have it...

*Sigh* Guess I'll go practice more!

Thanks!

Mucky. I went along the same path you did with "Horizontal cateye, eh?" And then had difficulty getting it... I've been getting better results when I return to the way I learned the cateye, holding the poi head in one hand and directing it through the 4 main positions it needs to be in to make it horizontal.

Dunno if that'll help you....

Hyperloops and spiral wraps both in the waist wrap position... Just gotta clean em up a little bit more.

at secret garden i managed:

wrong weave
inverted wrong weave (both poi inside plane)
float weave
more float variations
more horizontal stalls
pendulums into horizontal throws

After much practice I have determined that the horizontal cateye is, in fact, humanly possible. Now I just need to clean it up!

Poiboy, what is a wrong weave and a float weave?

Sorry to keep asking about these things; I'd like to start learning some advanced patterns but I don't have talented people around to show me!

Recently, I did my first Monkey jump \o/
Now, I have to clean it

Whohooo monkeyjump for the people

Ho, Thomas, Thank again for the Monkey Jump, and the stall which come with it.
Now,I cannot play poi without trying it

ive been having quite a bit of fun with split time vertical cateyes in butterfly.. theyre simple enough in concept, but theyre messy

Long arm pendulum circling.

alien style,

:R

*Gives up trying to understand this thread*

I'm gonna go practice my 5-beat weave now.

Richee... is that with the hands swapping which is doing the pendulum each beat? I've been playing around with that, but had sort of stopped playing with pendulum variations... I'll get back on that one.


Sorry, what I meant was do you tend to do it with the hands swapping or not? I'm aware its possible, but doing it without swapping seemed unbalanced to me... swapping seemed to have a more natural feel.
