So far I've gotten really good at smacking the back of my calves or right in the back of my neck, but I think that's a different trick. Speaking of I'll give that another shot here in a few...

It took me like a month to get btb 3 beat down. Plenty of bruises on my legs to go with it. Then waistwraps took me about another month after first practicing it to get that, and even then I couldn't continuously do it. But now btb is just as coordinated as in front of me grin

And after that, you get to get the frustration and ultimate satisfaction of learning under the legs, which I'm still working a little at a time on doing that all in reverse under my legs.

And the butterfly twisty thingy? Yes that's the Pacman Twist, I love that name grin I want to see it don with fire snakes, then it would actually look like Pacman lol

Nor did I, at first. I sorta went back and learned them later, though I can't say it's paid off for much. Though Nick Woolsey thinks highly of them for some reason, so I'll trust that they'll come in handy some day.

Waistwraps, meltdowns, etc. are the ultimate goal. I'll give it some more practice tody.

I've been working on my spiral wrap a lot and that's coming out better!

Meltdowns are a bit of a mindtwister as I found them to be.

I can do them. Just never bothered learning them. Just found I could do them all one day when teaching someone a three beat.

Two beats are fun for flow, since there are few limits to where you can put them. Also, you can seperate them nicely with one on one side of you body and the other doing something arb.

I'm actually working on doing a hyperloop while in an uta crosser. I can sometimes do it.

Splittime butterfly staggered stalls, you are MINE! Thanks to Derek for letting me wrap my head around it, very surprisingly, I needed no practice.

Here's his video for you wink

Alright guys, today is the freaking day. I vow to get one direction of the btb 3beat weave going today! Haven't messed with it too much seriously aside from getting each hands motion down. But this is it, I draw my line in the sand!

Oh, BTW, after an ongoing duel that's lasted over twenty hours total I finally did conquer the btb 3 beat weave. It was an epic struggle, but I chopped off it's head and sent it back to it's crying wives and children. My ankles are hating me though, they're still sore! I still need to polish it quite a bit and I still suck at the forwards btb, so it's still not complete...

It's been long since I last updated this, but just do recap what I've most recently learned over the past week.. Got more familiar with Zan's diamond and learned to go through it in all the modes, plus the one Drex showed in last week's blog where the timing changes.. And I got down wallplane meltdowns in all the modes, which is a great victory.

The term is from Michal Kahn's Poi Spinning (at least that's where I first saw it).

It's an extended split time butterfly reel: you kinda wiggle (more of a twist really) as you do it. Fun. smile
