The Official HOP "I just learned a new move" thread

nah, try now, its a good begginers move.

it's not that bad really
i suggest unlit for the time being :P

jealous of you and the btb weave, been working for a month or so and still no luck

Yay! I still can't do BTB weave for crap (shoulders/collarbone do not like that move), but I just learned waist wrap on one side (left arm wrapping behind the back to swing in front on the right side). I think I'll be able to do WW on both sides in just a bit, just ran out of time on my break .. fun stuff tho! Smacked my face good a few times (to the amusement of coworkers) :P.

isolations! with both hands and in both directions, so why oh why can i not do both hands at once? so frustrating... grrr

1) Butterfly flower

With two vertical circles in spit time.

2) Negative lego (1st move)

You let the Poi pass in the second half of triangle throught
negative space created by catched Poi and body, insideout.


love,

:R

You sure buzzsaw is a good beginner's move?

How do you go into it? And don't worry I won't be doing anything with fire til i'm amazing without fire lol.

finally... and I mean FINALLY got 3 beat weave! I have been trying for ages. Damien was trying to teach me on Friday or Saturday night, but I couldn't get it, and then I tried last night and apparently I have it... I now know why I was having so much trouble though. *will stop being crazily excited now*

Ok, In went on tour last week and managed to get the BTB backwards weave. Trying the forwards one now.....well maybe wait till the bruises sort themselves out. I'm a happy buny anyway though.

Shower

Basic move: Weave (wall plane)

Basicly there are three parts.

a) Throw - One hand is continuously passing
Poi wall plane for one turn (2B),accross to the
other hand.

b) Catch - Other hand catch the Poi and make one
circle before

c) it give's it to the other hand that throw it again after
one cicle.

If this doesnt make sense, teel me, the timing is
important here. Two ball shower can help.

light,

:R

I've only recently joined up, so I haven't posted in this thread yet, but the list of things I can do is:

3bt forward weave
5bt forward weave
btb 3bt forward weave (The newest move I've learnt. Can transition in from btb backward weave, but can't get out again heh)
3bt backward weave
btb 3bt backward weave
butterfly and a bunch of variations
thread the needle

I think that's it.

the funky meteor thumb leading to pinky finger leading and back and then back again...

meteor is now cool, will defiantely play a lot more

Whoo! more butterfloops, this time from rev butterfly buzzsaw on left, linking at bottom, coming across to butterfly buzzsaw on right and unlinking.

4 Beat Weave

- With twist one side(like 3B) and
double twist the other(like 5B Weave).

light,

:R

Thankyou faithinfire. I think I should learn weave first. Then move onto buzzsaw.

check out the helpful advice thread too, lots of good stuff

Ok i have been trying to get a 5 beat weave for eternity and i just cannot, what am i doing wrong:P anyone here able to give me some tips? ive been spinning for about 3.5 years now, some times my left arm is so dumb it amazes me!

I did it! I learnt 3bt weave last night in just 20minutes! yay! Don't see why anyone finds it hard to learn really, if anyone needs help, ask me! <me! I can do this! lol

What's meteor?

That Yuta antispin butterfly buzzsaw flower thing!

Meteor is like poi but with the 2 handles stuck together, so 2 weights on the end of a rope. Have a search!

Edit: I'm completely addicted to butterfloops now, I've got 3 of them down now, just working on the 4th. So much fun!

Oh right, kool. Thanks.

Concetric flower - Poi butterfly, hands alternate long arm. More about flowers comming soon.

Explanation:

Concentric flower(Wheel plane)

Combination of two flower routines.

1) Long arm BTB Weave full flower(3 steps)

This can be done from wind mill to the first 'vertical'
half flower behind your back. Than you continue BTB
to the second 'horizontal' half flower and finsh
the first part with third 'vertical' half flower behind
your back.


->reel(shoulder & hip one) to front half(transition)


2) Long arm Weave full anti-spin flower (3 steps)

First two 'vertical' foils with anti-spin. Than you
continue to the secont 'horizontal' two foils with
anti-spin and finsh two 'vertical' foils with anti-
spin.

(here you can continuously repeat routines)

Part of advanced flower thread Im going
to write soon.


:R

Butterfloops to continuous hyperloop.

Not much else really... My learning process has been slow recently...

reverse inverted 3 beat weave
forwards inverted 3 beat weave (sorta goofy going right to left, but left to right is great)
buzzsaw hyperloop wrist stops (change buzzsaw hyperloop directions) - can't do them every time though :/
Antispin-ish butterfly buzzsaw weave! easier done than said!

I learned soooo much at firedrums, met some amazing spinners (musashii, icon, dan, dave, sooo many others) and slept entirely too much

I learned turning waist wrapped reels, the left side took my a another weeek longer then the right side did. Now to learn the entire sequence in reverse. BTB 360 weave on both sides. Butterfly arms with butterfly poi, poi are antispin in both hands, I like this, I like bitterfly time poi;arms follow time in reverse. I really want to learn long arm / waist wrapped flowers- hybrid that is on a video around here. Damn that was sweet.

I think i've got one-handed butterfly now, not perfect but still.

chasing the sun and some sloppy messy flowers

I finally nailed inf hypes fwrd and rvrs with the extra outside beats too,,:D

currently working on 360 anti spin flowers,,rvrs anti is killing me slowly lol :P

fwd btb weave

I've been only poi-ing for a month now so i think anything remotely new looking is good for me - i think im going for a bash-myself-until-i-knock-myself-out look - it's my best technique - so good at it!

wow this is page 93 - u people write alot!!!
