Anti-spinnig - Is technique when you reverse direction of your Poi and hand. Imagine hand doing forward circle, while Poi spin backward.
Butterfly hyperloop - Is hyperloop with Poi spin opposite, like with Butterfly.

Nope. Not if you bounce them around right It's really REALLY hard to explain in text format tho. Will have a tute vid up soon....hopefully

Let's relight this forum

In my experience, the only thing to defy the laws of nature are the laws of murphy. So, the cat will land on it's back.

I would test it out on kitty, but I don't have a toaster...

'n Boer maak 'n plan.

glass - cheers I get it now

My girlfriend (who doesnt spin that much really but has got the basics) picked up my poi a few weeks ago and did what I can now kind of explain as an antispin butterfly flower. start as a butterfly low down, one each side of your body - then go outwards opposite to the spin - cross at the top - continue. Thats a crap explanation but I'm sure you get the idea.

It confused the hell out of me and I still cant make my body move in those directions - I always end up losing it half way through.

Dunc - the closest I can imagine is when you cross the poi as if you got a butterfly weave wrong and they spin on a kind of horizontal plane - a couple of bounces and back to a butterfly. I'm probably miles off though. Looking forward to a video.

WOFT - I'm off out to sit in the road and squeak like a mouse until I can trap a cat and test the theory.

I dropped my toast this morning (Cote d'Or chocolate spread) and it landed face up . It's a miracle, haleluja! Should I contact some Bureau of Science? Is Murphy on holiday? Does it matter that the chocolate side first hit me (wearing light coloured dress)? I mean, in my head I could see my carpet full of chocolate but when I looked down, there was my toast with the chocolate looking up at me .

Ask a question and be a fool for a minute...don't ask and be a fool your whole life.
