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

POI THEO(R)IST

the following will make sense to noone except me, but it made me happy, so i want to write it down

really nice combo: reverse bfy wallplane, underarm throw LH poi whilst stalling RH poi to the left, RH poi partially follows direction of LH in midair, catch LH poi on LH and imediately wibble both poi in an clockwise direction, catch both and go into anti-clockwise spin, after one beat loop the head of LH poi an R wrist, keep spinning RH poi such that the two poi isolate on the same arm. Take LH poi back into LH, stall RH poi so as to return to reverse bfy, then underarm throw RH poi, wibble off L wrist, catch, smile.

there's nothing quite as fulfilling as a tasty airwrap

if you're full of sh!t, at least you're fertile

Getting to the other side

Antispin weave, finally got straight jackets, still uncertain what I can do with inversions or atomics though, so I'll have a look at them

Spin, bounce, be one with the world, because it is yours to enjoy...

We want a band, that plays loud and hard every night-
That doesn't care how many people are counted at the door-
That would travel one million miles and ask for nothing more,
Than a plate of food and a place to rest.

If a quizz is quizzical, what is a test?

One hand is doing a reverse weave and the other a foward weave with needle threading (both under arm and over arm depending on which side of the body u r on) to make a 5bt move. This to my understanding is a butterfly weave and while you say one hand is antispun (this is the concept that i'm having issues with) i consider the trick in terms of foward and reverse weaves simultainiously. Is it or isn't it an antispun weave and if it isn't point me to a vid of an antispun weave so i can learn it in visual terms as opposed to text.

Cheers

Antispin is where your hand moves in a circle in the opposite way to the way the poi is spinning. If you spin the poi forwards, and move your arm in a big circle backwards, you're doing antispin.



In a butterfly weave, the circle your hand makes is a lot smaller, but because your hands are rotating forwards (ie the forwards weave motion) the poi that's spinning backwards is therefore antispun. The poi that's spinning forwards is spinning normally cause it's going in the same direction as your hands.



Edit: dizzphoenix just re-read your original post... An antispin weave is where you do the hand motions for a forwards weave, but your poi are both spinning backwards, or vice versa. It's very pretty (when done well) but doesn't look much like a normal weave.
