can anyone help me out with some POInters on the btb5beat weave? i can get the 3 beat without two much difficulty and i can get the forward 5 beat easily but i just can't wrap my head around this move. i don't suppose there are some simple tips for dopey people like me? i wish i could see it in real life but i'd have to wait until tomorrow night and i can't do anything else until i get this move. i guess i'll keep practising until one of you angels come save me. sigh...i'm gonna lose my brain

well the movement for the the btb 5beat and turning it is exactly the same as it in front of you. When i see people attemping the btb 5-beat i see them trying to stretch there arms and have no movement in there body. Try actually dodging them at first, after that you'll feel the movement. You'll find out like the btb 3-beat theres a certain sway that you do. I thought the sway would be similar to when i learned the btb 3-beat but more exagerated but its a completely different sway. Anyways, btb 5-beat is far from an impossible move like some people have said, just practice and it will come.------------------[]Dhuong-Vu Truong==== []Dhunky ====

Strange thing happened to me with this move... after about a week of half-hearted and not very determined efforts to learn the btb 5 beat weave, last night I decided I would actually try it properly. The surprising thing is that it took me all of 5 minutes to figure out, which really surprised me. So at the moment I'm a bit worried as to whether I actually am doing it or not

beth - i doubt that I think it was something to do with the fact that I had just learnt (finally) the reverse 5 beat weave a couple of days earlier, so it was fresh in my mind. That and the fact that I had been trying it on and off for a week or two meant that my body (and brain) sort of were already starting to figure out how to do it. I guess I was just lucky

This is your second week and already youre into btb stuff? Thats crazy. When I was in my second week of leanring I was pretty happy with myself because I could do a butterfly with out hitting myself in the crotch (well, not often anyway). I only started to learn btb stuff about 2 months or more after I had begun to learn poi.

tee hee.. just had to point out shorncliffe does not come close to equalling everything .. in all honesty I have been around brissy and surrounds to dozens of different groups.. and seen probably thousands of twirlers..., and the real talent that goes out to play is down by the river near south brisbane. This one guy can backflip while twirling ... *talent* ! So if you're in the area... come and trickswap! [This message has been edited by splat (edited 07 September 2001).]

I would love to meet other twirlers but I am very limited in where I can go because I don't have any means of transportation. I wish I knew some people around the Ferny Hills area. Ah well.By the way, do you realise how far off topis this has gone?
