3)on up swing between legs turn 180
4)direct out of legs

I assume thats with drastically shortened poi (about forearm length)?

you can't have a war against terrorism because war IS terrorism.it's not about worshipping fire. its about making the fire want to worship you.

thanx p h u n k y, i'll give it a go

masterna, i assumed youd have to use shortened poi too, but the people who i met were doing normal length ones and said that it doesnt make that much difference oh well, i'll try them again with normal length but i think i might end up shortening them just to learn with...i already beat my legs enough learning btb so im gonna do whateva i can to give them a bit of a break.

ok, thanx again 4 the help

love, kisses and magikal wishes, sam

doesn't matter how long your poi are.

Dude welll no it doesnt matter how long yer strings are... i though the same of you but then phunky helped me... and told me the trick...
at least when you doing BTL move you gotta move like 180 degreess while you do it so they pois can go out(its just an easier way... you can do it without the 180 turn i guess..)
the idea is moving yer legs in a way the pois can get out too....

if you dont get what i mean phunky is yer guy bug him till he tell ya the tricks for it mwuahahaha ;P

hey thanks phunky for helped me in that BTL moves!

What other new moves you got for us besides btl lalalala

Hey,

The easiest BTL moves are very much like doing a low turn, ie you stick the poi up between your legs as you turn (instead of up behind your back = a real low turn).

And - like a Low turn the smoothest BTL is achieved by turning right through the move, so that you reach 90 degrees body angle as the poi reach the top of their swing BTL, then you keep turning, as the poi are about to exit you reach 180 degrees body angle.

I find they are really nice in combination with high turns, ie you do a high turn and then straight into a BTL (turn) instead of the high turn --> low turn combo ppl do a lot.

There is a bunch of different ways to enter and exit BTL moves eg one in, both in, in-time, split time, etc - you should do a search on...you guessed it...BTL.

HTH (HOPE THAT HELPS - Phunky ),
