This space is for all those funksters busy improving their technique by learning new moves - made-up or traditional.



Tell us all about it! We love hearing about our fellow poiers/staffies/misc. toyers succeeding with new things biggrin

It's just hard to keep up with it all sometimes, so if we keep it together you'll be certain to get a little feedback.



here a pat on the back in advance from me



::flash enthusiastically pats your back::



biggrin

Hyperloops with 3bt inversion entry and exits, under the arm airwraps, notcoleman5, turning antispin flowers, huggy pirouettes, and a VERY sketchy BTB huggy (cheers to Simian for that one).

I really should learn more inversions at some point, I've still not got my head around the concept.

I've been trying to get those for ages, they mostly happen by accident when I'm doing split time ttn. No consistency though, congrats NX. Lush.

Alright I now know:
Butterfly flowers
Weave flowers
3 beat weave forward
3 beat btb forward weave
butterfly
giant butterfly
alternate butterfly
btb butterfly
1 handed butterfly (with both left and right hand)
basic idea with hyperloops, but I don't pull my socks tight enough every time to do it really nicely.

its a good start biggrin

can i really suggest you learn everything backwards now, and turning between, this is a far more important part of poi than hyperloops.

have fun!

Well, I didn't realy learn a new move but I did my first real poi spinning *bounce*. After seeing the beautiful weather outside I decided to sew a pair of sock pois and try it out and well, it worked ... mostly. Now I'm sitting inside (it's a bit toooo hot) and cooling a bruised shoulder biggrin I shouldn't have used my nearly 200gr. contact balls (don't worry, I didn't use acrylics) for weights on the poi. Now I changed those for two small, also selfmade beanbags and the pois are fine ^^.

Was great!

Wooo hooo! I've mastered going from the butterfly to a mini-butterfly to the between the legs butterfly and into a poi somersault! I've found that the under the leg butterfly is an easier way to transition into a poi somersault that just bending over into it. weavesmiley
