Forums > Beginner Poi Moves > The Official HOP "I just learned a new move" thread

This space is for all those funksters busy improving their technique by learning new moves - made-up or traditional.



Tell us all about it! We love hearing about our fellow poiers/staffies/misc. toyers succeeding with new things

It's just hard to keep up with it all sometimes, so if we keep it together you'll be certain to get a little feedback.



here a pat on the back in advance from me

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other way.

Don't let your world end with you

p.s. No, just in case you're going to ask, I did not misspell Warrior, its supposed to be like that.

Travel a thousand miles in any direction and you will always find people with the same poi as us

Nice going guys.

Been trying to clean up my throws. Any suggestions?

Still need to get around to atomics at some point.

I have to kind of relearn them with my new chain from firemecca. It's kind of too grippy but I can still do them. Just not every time, actually not most of the time. I'm gonna try their 3mm chain next time I order from there. Along with proof coil chain, I want to try them all

I got this one thing that I've seen Nevisoul do once and it's perplexed me for sooo long. But I had that other spinner I met look at it and he told me what it was and now I can finally do it. It's like half a meltdown and you turn into a reel and now your facing backwards and the reel goes from your hip up to your shoulders and then you do a whirl and I love it so much

10 days of Poi yields:
Turns..
Butterfly, Forward / Reverse / Same / Split
2 Beat & 3 Beat Weave, Forward / Reverse / & Weave Turns
Shaky Low Reels..needs more practice...shin pain! Woohoo!
Opposites, Same & Split Time. Took me awhile to recognize the difference between them.
