hey i was in denile about the behind the back backwards weave for ages even thought a friend of mine who is way too flexable for her own good! learnt it and showed it to me, now after maybe7 months i have finaly admitted to it being a real move and not just a magic trick, im trying to learn it but can only get the backwards single weave behind the back does any one have any tips? i still think the 5 beat backwards behind the back weave is a trick though. xx

Empty your mind. Be formless, Shapeless, like Water.
Put Water into a cup, it becomes the cup, put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, put water into a teapot, it becomes the teapot.
Water can flow, or it can Crash.
Be Water My Friend.

Best way to learn something new, is to use poi that has very heavy or spiky head in it. More it hurts, faster you learn.

Thats sadistic. Use someting fluffy. I nearly knocked myself out last night doing a five beat backwards weave with globalz - whacked myself in the face. Broken glasses and a bruised nose. Fluffy is best.

I do hope you're not taking the piss out of fluffiness. I've been to MA and I'll come back and kick your arse! (we don't say 'ass' in England).
PS - nice sun poi pic. Is it you??

i broke it down here. works the same way forward and backward for me --
[Old link]
my "trick" for BTB5s is usually "dipping at the knee for reverse, hop on tiptoes for forward". all of this probably makes little sense as to where, when, and how to apply that tho unless you already have gotten it once or twice by accident. good luck!
