Hi,



There a lot of helpful advice threads about various flowers kicking around. All can be found by using the search engine [Old link],

(its best to always do a search before you start a new topic, as otherwise HoP ends up with lots of repeat threads, just full of links, making it difficult to find things.)





or by looking at the helpful advice threads section [Old link].



A good one to start with is [Old link].



Antispin flowers are not done from a buzzsaw. There are buzzsaw fountains, where the poi form a buzsaw and then move round the edge of a bigger circle.



Or there are antispin flowers. Firstly though, in a basic, normal spin flower, your arms spin in the side\wheel planes, spinning in split time, you arms pause opposite each other at 12 and 6, then rotate forwards to 3 and 9, then forwards again to 6 and 12, then forwards again to 9 and 3 and so on. This is what I'm doing in my avator in fact.



In antispin, while your poi are spinning forwards, your arms are rotating backwards, ie, in the opposite direction to the poi. So with your poi spinning forwards in split time, your arms are at opposite points on the clock and going to move anticlockwise from 6 and 12, to 9 and 3 and so on. The more points on the clock you stop to spin a circle at, the more petals the flowers get.

Hope this helps!

Anti spin is easy.

poi spins clockwise
arms move counter clockwise.

and vise versa.

Buy one of these and you'll understand!

ooh, never seen an antispin buzzsaw before, but I see you do an antispin flower with it after, from what I could see the poi were on the outside of your arms, not the insides. Is it the buzzsaw or flower varitaion you are wanting to learn, pyro?

ubblol

imo, antispin is not easy...

the basic concept is indeed simple but to apply it to moves (weaves, reels, longarm stuff is the most common) and have it look good takes some both good timing and accurate hand/arm placement.

and it's kind of isolated as well...

For flowers, I find when spinning forwards, or regular flowers, at the exact point the poi is horizontal away from you, pull your arm back, and do the antispin motions, as it were.

There are other ways of getting into antispin flowers, I'm sure, but this is the way I find easiest, especially if you're just starting out with antispin. Have fun!!

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.
