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

Within 14 seconds of Uber teaching, I can now do one-and-two-halves.

And reverse one-and-two-halves Thanks to THE fluff.

"buzzsaw flower takeout" "butterfly fountain with hugged insert"



I'm doing some kind of "forward (opposing) dual chain buzzsaw - butterfly - reverse (opposing) dual chain buzzsaw" - combo... is that alike?

But antispin flower outtakes are trippy indeed...

throws: Been trying to sort out that pesky left hand!



simultaneous double throws from plain reverse spinning



a few catches of simultaneous doubles throws from butterfly



alternating left right throws from ttn



alternating left right btb throws (catch in front) from low wave



throws and catches from reverse giant windmill (thanks to ros and oli for the idea on that one)



and btb catches with my right hand



also i managed to get my btb butterfly working for more than 3 seconds in same time (somehow split time works easier for me)



Pretty happy with today!!

Like sex, I'm much more interesting in real life than online.

So I finally got my reverse weave, took me a few days. Now what should I be working on? I can do a butterfly, in both directions, and a high wave, but when I try to do it once behind my head they twist.
Any advice on that?
What can I apply my cool new weave and reverse weave to? What can I try to lead into with it?

The only difference between people with tattoos, and people without tattoos, is that people with tattoos, don't care if you're tattooed or not.

Turn to turn from a forwards weave into a backwards one, and back a gain, both directions. Then learn Fountains.

POI THEO(R)IST

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

Yay joy an happiness! Is it sad that I'm so mega excited about being able to do 3 beat weave? Taken me a damn week but now i can do it forward and reverse!
Many impacts in my dosy skull and my pods. However finally got it down.
Joy of poi!

Eagles may soar but weasles don't get sucked into jet engines.

Telepath wanted, you know where to apply.

I got my first set of poi on the 24th of April, just two days ago

Have learned butterflies, BTB butterflies, alternate butterflies, turning while forward spinning & backward spinning. Just pulled off a horribly planed 4-beat flower yesterday and criss-crossing weaves!

YAY!
