As of now, getting rid of using weaves so much. I have a fair bit of tech and a bunch of good transitions, but I fall back into a 3bt weave half the time. I need to get serious about my wall plane, learn some decent "holding patterns" or "safe moves" that are more symmetrical and open, and get used to doing more of my transitions from there. I think even just shifting my defaults over to reels/*mills would fix half the problem...

I need to use weaves more, as well as fountains. I also need to use the "Matrix Move." Basically revisiting what I practiced the first couple months to incorporate it all into my style. Also I need to get better at floorplane antispin. It's going to kill me, but I must do it

I use everything I know, too, but I can't always do the techiest things I know. I just got into the habit of using a weave to fill space because it makes tracking some throws easier. But it looks dull.

I'm trying to make my fountains more fountainy and less triangular, also gaining control of my flowpoi trios and learning club moves with them switching between club and poi smoothly.

Currently working on a thingy. Looks like it will need a cross-armed CAP to work though, which will be entertaining on its own. Will post more if and when it comes together.

Being more creative with simple concepts. That's the ongoing challenge, innit? Still playing with atomics, and now also floor plane CAPs. Also trying to step up to more complex throws.

Delving in to the wonderful world of pendulums. Just starting to get the 1.5bt weave. Funny though I have been doing some basic pendulums (on left or right but not crossing over) for some time and can happily do a pendulum to Hyperloop combo. Now I need to work on playing with the heights so I can do a pendulum fountain(or whatever it is called when your arm does a circle while staying in pendulum motion)

Hm, I should break out my poi that are good for orbitals and try that. I played around a little with orbitals from 1.5s and floats, but this makes me think of some things I didn't try.
In other news, did an accidental split time butterfloop and it was actually pretty fun. Need to duplicate it...

Slit time butterfloop, you need to have one hand over the other. Try doing it like the Pacman twist. That'll turn heads of other spinners  The Pacman Floop?

at the moment im still trying to get the hang of flowers, though it a slow process, isolations and perfecting the hyperloops, they ar main focus though i like to play around with a few other things inbetween.

a wall plane btb crosser weave thingy, cant remember its proper name and cba looking it up. isolations, flowers in general, and my own wall plane stall wrap thing to change direction as opposed to using spiral wraps. not sure if anyones tried it yet but i like it. also trying to cut out the extra beat between my butterfly pendulums

plane changes from same direction wall plane to wheel plane and vice versa and also same direction wheel plane to opposite direction wall plane waist wraps finally! behind the head pendulums for a direction change for whirling purposes  air wraps have never actually learned them yet stalling from orbitals and out of orbitals polyrhythm stuff stalls from meltdowns a up stall meltdown a up/down stall while in meltdowns to switch directions and much more than i cant remember at the moment
