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 learned a reverse 3 beat weave, windmill, and the fountain! (all over a couple weeks) I feels proud lol, buzzsaw flower here I come!

Just keep swinging, just keep swinging...

The dawn has come
And the wine will run
And the song must be sung
And the flowers are melting
In the sun

Nice going, both of you.

The only luck is bad luck.

Shut up before I stall my poi up your ass

"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able, and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?" - Epicurus

When I finally get time, I want to make an "Everything that makes me happy" video. Filled with toys, lights, fire, dancing, and raving Pretty much everything special I do collaborated into a video But right now I have prom, a court date, graduation, college things, we're gonna move soon. So I'm not entirely sure when I can get to it.

The only luck is bad luck.

I just learned the forwards 3 beat weave behind the back. It had been frustrating me for days! Now I'm working on hyper loops and getting my flowers to look better.

Question everything.

buzzsaw fountain is tricky indeed. good job! now do the antispin buzzsaw fountain

chasers are definitely a mindf-ck at first... mostly since they require an entirely new method of movement (i.e. letting the poi trail behind your hand at a 90 degree angle). good luck!
