leospoi Poi explorer Registered: 02/02/08 Loc: Vancouver, BC, Canada	Sorry to play the devil's advocate but... Naa no such thing, there's simply not enough range of motion btb. You need to fit at least 2 poi lengths between your hand btb and your back and even then carefully place the antispin petals so you don't hit your back or arms while doing the weaving motions. Even if you are a contortionist and managed to perfect it, it really wouldn't stand out much from a btb buzzsaw due to the poi length having to be very short. I just have to say that there are so many more advanced poi cooler and feasible moves to try out than this. Something related that comes to mind is a btb watermill.

SpinnerofDetroit All High Dude, Ruler of What You Want Registered: 25/10/09 Loc: Trenton, MI, USA	Isn't that also a btb crosser you're talking about? Edit: Tried it for a while, one arm doesn't get a very clean flower and it looks kinda ugly and my poi get tangled in the transition to the other side.

Devil's devil's advocate: I can do an AS weave in front of me with only 1 poi length of space, using precise framing and overlapping. If you can turn your torso enough, you should be able to do most of the move on either side with your back almost aligned to each wall plane. You just need to get the cross points really cleanly worked out (doable, but Good Luck). </Devil's devil's advocate> I agree, that is sounds like a bitch to get clean, will wreck your shoulders in the process, and there are way more fun things to put spend your time on! _________________________ +Alien Jon

AlienJon enthusiast Registered: 07/03/02 Loc: Everywhere	Originally Posted By: liquidtrance ohh, btb watermill, hadn't thought of that... Yup. there are 4 places to frame inside moves: BTA in front, ATA in front, BTB, and BTH... but BTH insides require majore flexibility and I think looking like you are having seizures is a mandatory part of it. _________________________ +Alien Jon

liquidtrance i dream in circles... Registered: 29/11/05 Loc: Scotland	i worked out a few variations of that a couple years ago, gave up on bth cos apart from looking like i was attached to a tazer im pretty sure a few more blows to the head would actually have given me seizures lol _________________________ even chuck norris can't pin you down if your on fire

NathanielEverist enthusiast Registered: 20/08/07 Loc: Melbourne	Yeah, I'm with Leo, I don't think it's possible to do a fully btb antispun weave due to lack of range of motion to move the hands in a large enough circle to enable antispin. You may be able to turn your body to allow more space, but as one gets more space, the other get's less as it moves to a waistwrapped position. So, you could twist your torso and antispin the poi moving above the waistwrapped poi, but I don't think it's physically possible to antispin both in split-time, at least not possible for me. Theoretically, there might be somebody out there with freakishly flexible shoulders who could do it.

Jen H. stranger Registered: 09/11/09 Loc: Spokane, Washington	I've just stumbled across this post and realized that in it are two of the very men who have (inadvertently) taught me most of what I know about spinning:) NathanielEverist and AlienJon are quite the inspiration, via YouTube. At least, I really hope it's both of who who I learned all my moves from:) If not I'll be all sorts of embarrassed. Thank you<3
