that I can do right now: four-petal antispin wall plane flowers. the ones where you start and end with arms crossed. usually doing extensions to get back to the starting point, or sometimes doing a "box" stall and reversing direction. depends on how I feel!

either that or psuedo-isolations, I've been playing a lot with those lately and they're fun because you can create so many unique patterns with them and they're extremely easy to learn if you have good plane control. I'm talking about the ones where you pick a direction, then move your hand rapidly in a straight line as soon as your poi is pointing in that direction, causing your poi to stall for a second and then continue spinning. hard to describe but alien jon teaches them a lot and they are more or less the opposite of pulsing.

that I haven't learned yet: I saw someone doing some really cool 3D poi last weekend. she would start with one poi in front, one in back, do one petal of antispin in the horizontal plane to switch them, then stall out and reverse. it didn't look terribly difficult but it will take some practice being able to stay on that horizontal plane. definitely need to learn that one!

3D flowers. I'm obsessed.

My favorite move I can't do is kate mccoy's triquetra archer weave thing.

i dont really have a favorite move per say but if i had to say along the lines of i do it more then others it would either be a hyper loop thread the needle all variations or sprial and inf spiral wraps. also working on the shotgun wrap once i get it down it will be up there as well!

I would say I definitely do too many spiral wraps just because it was the first thing I learned after the basics and always thought it looked cool as hell. as for favorite though, I like trying to incorporate floats into my spinning and have actually came up with a float style flower I havent seen anybody do. (I'm sure somebody has done them but, I haven't seen any videos of it.)

I had to add this post and what I have to say is really NOT that exciting, but I just LOVE behind the back waist wrapping. It just FEEEEEELS so good to do doesn't it? Or is that just me?
Either way if I spent as much time on other moves I could be good by now.. lol

Most definitely a 4 pedal anti spin fountain. It's a real crowd pleaser when i do a basic iso in front of me, then step to the side and go into it.

Right now, a really simple 4-petal wall plane flower, and something I've heard called a 4x2 beat fountain or 4 beat windmill.

Mine's a tie between meltdowns (either direction or butterfly) and hyper-loops, switching from forward to backward. The feeling is really natural, especially hyper-loops.

Meltdowns for me at the moment, took me a month to learn why my left poi was smacking me in the back of the leg every time. Its got a very satisfying feel to it smile

for all you guys who said waistwraps/meltdowns, try getting into the meltdown (the full waistwrap one, not the btb one) and when your hands are at your hips, do a pirouette, it looks really cool and everyone seems to love when I do that. Its a great flowy type move and one of my favorites right now

this was posted two years ago, but i'm in the same boat today. so...

Favourite moves are definitely all things under the legs. In particular there is a move I can do that goes from BTB to the front but under the legs and then back. Not sure what its called... maybe you can decided http://youtu.be/5lsSp-VI10U around 4:10 to 4:20 is the time frame I do the move.

My favourite is one I created(At least, I haven't seen anyone else do it =P), it's a combo of a wrist wrap and an orbital.

the five beat weave smile still has the boundless around-the-body potential of the 3 beat, looks fantastic and can be woven into combos with stalls, hyperloops or any other move i fancy smile
