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

you all spun this weekend because of the Ball.. so like what gives.. you can't spin with a bunch of people not have learned something



erm....I don't think I learned anything at the weekend, well, I can't remember learning anthing although I saw tons of sh1t I haven't seen before properly, like antispin weaves and some lovely 'loop variations from Nx.

If someone remembers teaching me something please remind me so I can use it again sometime soon

Let's relight this forum

"Take that, math!"

lol rev, it wasnt that kind of weekend.

tho i did take a mo to get the 'anti-buzzsaw' which we are debating sooo hotly

and today ive got a new atomic hype, and after years of faliure I have the buzzsaw hyp with crossed entry and exit (the crossed entry gives it an extra twist, so thats why.)

Life's too short to worry about where you put your marshmallows

ok, get this

roll on ball along the top of your forarm and let it drop off the end. as that one drops throw the second ball over the first to land on th elbow. as that one rolles down to the hand the first ball sets up for the same move on the opposite arm. nice huh?

Eek, that's technical

Behind the back weave turns, under arm catches, first 2 throws of a 4400 pattern with poi - my ceiling is far too low for poi juggling.

"Take that, math!"

"Moo," said the happy cow.

3 or 2 beat BHB butterfly weave. The one with a TTN each side.

Oh and long arm 180 butterflys without hitting myself too much!

I spunked in my friend's aquarium and the fish ate it. I love all fish. Especially the pink ones. They are my bitches. - Anon.

"Moo," said the happy cow.

Yeah Damn hard.

I've been trying for ages to get it clean and am still not satisfied.

Stupid left poi not isolating all the way through!

They get much though if you've been smoking!

I'm not even gonna think about 5bt isolated weave

yea i cant isolate the transfers very well if at all.. garthy - yours is sweet, i seen it looking very isolated - i didnt even realise you could isolate the transfers till i saw you doing it

i forget what ive been learning.

Me train running low on soul coal
They push+pull tactics are driving me loco
They shouldn't do that no no no

I've been thinking that maybe looking in the mirror to see if it's isolated wreaks it?



So maybe I can isolate my weaves?



Just not while looking in the mirror.

atomic flowers....




Thats cool!

but do you mean the poi at right angles or your arms?

Or both

"**grumble*spuriouswindmills*grumble**" - Coleman
"if poi was only for girls there wouldnt be many good poi spinners...." - Nx

atomic flowers with no poi

Me train running low on soul coal
They push+pull tactics are driving me loco
They shouldn't do that no no no

both, of course, cos the erms are extended in the atomic plane
feels very very weird.

Thanks to Nx for insperation.......

Atomic Umbrellas? Do the atomic flower arm movement with the poi always at right angles to your arms..

I can do this without poi

�Viva La Pacha Mama!

the weave is much harder to learn than all that techy stuff.

it's all about developing control over your poi, and the weave is the first big step.

so well done, you're quite right to be stoked

"Switching between different kinds of chuu chuu sometimes gives this "urgh wtf?" effect because it's giving people the phi phenomenon."

Agreed with simian!

Not really learnt anything major recently, just playing with as many variations on waist wraps as I can think of.

You can't avoid pain by fencing yourself from it.
Some times you need the help of others more than anything else
But you have to let them close enough to help......
People want to be needed, I found that out too

hyperloop-butterfly-underhand-7 beat weave-corkscrew combos



Sounds interesting! Underhand as inverse? And do you do the Butterfly-weave in same- or splittime?

To learn - read. To know - write. To master - teach . . .

Atomic airwraps and hyperloops both same and opposite direction. Box weave and atomic weave, which roughly correspond to buzzsaw and normal weaves. Still need to work on turning and combinations though...
