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

You sure they arent line isolations? I'd played with line isolations in such patterns before.

A line isolation is an extended cateye movement. They end up looking and feeling a lot like floats rather than cateye movements, looking more or less like them depending on the line travelled.

I like to call it linear extension. The anti spin builds up good momentum to keep it going as long as you keep your arm timed with the poi properly

I thought it was a linear head isolation.

theoretically your aiming for linear isolation but in practice it's more like a stretched out antispin, if you smooth it out enough so that the lines are 'float' like as much as possible then it's pretty much as good as you gonna get as you still need to make a tiny loop at each tip to change direction. You can to point to point isolation with a flick of the wrist but I'm not a fan cos the movement is jerky...

Figured out a bunch of flower stalls/transitions/frills, and the stall/poi swap Exuro does in one of his YouTube videos. Can just about twirl in a triquetra, too.

Been playing with same time isolation/extention hybrid. Saw Ugo doing a kinda windmill with the hybrid, and it looked pretty

Many different advanced stalls ^^

Just starting to get Hybrid stall out of CAP (hands together)

Got half throws and no-extra-beat throws, and air wrap wrist bumps. Starting to get same direction split time UTL walk. More flower stalls/plane changes.

Started playing with different wall plane flowers that are only kinda different then the common ones. But using linear extension twice and then big arm extension to switch back to the beginning.

What's really fun is grabbing the poi from a linear isolation

No, what's *really* fun is crazifying your planes from a linear isolation. Nobody sees that one coming. Unless you're Insignia, in which case it's kind of your "thing"...

Heheh.

Plane-twisting stuff is cool.

Sister: Do not forget to try get some footage of the Seattle crowd doing odd stuff you say you have not seen online now you all have summer on the way. You sort of promised some a while back.

Well, about that... I hadn't heard of Alien Jon or Zan when I wrote that post...

Still would be nice to see....

*offers whipped cream with a cherry on top*

Yeah, I think Ian's antispin flowers are worthy of note by themselves; instead of curvy petals he manages four point isolations. Still trying to figure that one out for obvious reasons.

I finally cradled my lit fire poi I held them for about 1 second and the part of my hand not touching the fire poi felt a burn and I threw them back into a spin. It was amazing! Also because I'm desperate to save about $45. Does anyone know where I can buy 10mm(3/8") wide by 3mm(1/8") thick Kevlar tape? I've searched through so many pages of Google and can't find anywhere

My new combo of love: same direction split time in wall plane, no-extra-beat throws into up/down stalls, pull into an air wrap. Still getting my planes right for the air wrap, but when I pull it off it's magic.

Started exploring how floats integrate with 1.5 hybrids. This is why I love tech poi, every time I think I completely grasp a set framework for a certain combination of moves there comes another element that I have to incorporate into the framework and so I'm never quite finished.

trying to get my antispin points so that i can plane change from any position into wall, horizontal or wheel plane antispin. Really taking inspiration from G's spinning.

Also another favourite i'm getting close to nailing is an inspin throw mid antispin flower, catch and continue antispin.
