umm i havent done that... i have done umm Butterfly lower fountain that is kinda easy... i will try that you said thanks You know i also got an idea i guess you could do a full fountain with butterfly but not sure...(well kinda like yers but with windmill instead the behind the head butterfly) i have been playing switching from butterfly family to weave family and viceversa without doing wraps... i think its possible doing a switch from a butterfly to a windmill then a rev butterfly ( that would be a butterfly full foutain???) or im wrong? ihave done once the butterfly swtiching to a windmill... one time i need to practice it tho but dunno [This message has been edited by NightShade1 (edited 24 January 2002).]

I dont know if this will make sence but to go from butterfly into a windmill without wrapping, stalling, kicking etc will make youre "circle" turn 90 degrees. Hence make your circle control sloppy. I guess if you had a big crowd of people around you it would work. There isn't much to butterfly, windmill butterfly, you just have to force it, which is why i don't like doing transitions from butterfly to weave series without a wrap or some type move to change the direction of one of the poi.------------------[]Dhuong-Vu Truong==== []Dhunky ====

In all of jo derrys videos that i've seen, he has kept the circle to the audience. The only time i can remember him doing anything like switching a butterfly to a weave series is a butterfly to a quad corkscrew. In which the "circle" doesn't apply because it's a horizontal move. Basically just turn to your right or left on a butterfly and one of your poi will change directions, then do a quad corkscrew.------------------[]Dhuong-Vu Truong==== []Dhunky ====
