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

My state of mind is not yours to define!

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

last night i was managing to isolate the bits of a weave i can never normally isolate really nicely. but they are back normal again today

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

yeah! floppy 3bt weave - classic!
nice one garthy

last night i had a juggle with jonnny which hasn't happened in a while

he showed me 66611 which i loved.

then i almost caught 66111 with clubs.
which was nice.

the 1's go in front then behind (round the body like).

then we passed clubs for a bit and did some tricks out of a 6c 4-count:

441 with 1 btb
522 and 531
shoulder throw passes
backcross passes
and we almost managed to do 531 with the 3 as the pass which is both confusing and very, very cool.

thank-you kindly jonnny - will have to have a handstand session next time i see ya.

although it'll be a bit like me teaching you to juggle a 5 ball cascade - i know what i have to do but i just haven't practiced enough yet.

spotting and someone to laugh at my good collapses would be great though

i'm also doing some spider/back bridge type thingies and stretching me legs lots at the moment in anticipation of learning walkovers

me girlfriend can do backwards and forwards walkovers and they really are very, very pretty

adam of the north showed me a nice headstand where your head doesn't touch the floor and you do it all on your forearms.

headstand to handstand is pretty hardcore - if you can do it back the other way i salute you twice sir

yip yip hope to see you to Mr (cole)Man. I feel like I've hardly seen you this summer

I should go back to Canterbury but it looks like I might be around til Sunday now. Probably going to Moohaahaa's mum's house tonight... then there's talk of a party saturday...

walkovers sound great, I haven't done much gymnastics since I was about 5.. I don't think I'm as bendy anymore... can do a handstand against a wall, does that count ooops highly irrelevent post um...... I did a back flip! ahem

hehe - I cant believe you guys are talking walkovers. This and handstands have been the major things I have been working on for the last month or so. I got soo close to a back walkover the other night. I think within 2 weeks I'll have it. I can get into it smoothly, I just need the strength and flexibility to go from bridge to handstand.... its very exciting and I think there is loads of lovely non spinning staff contact in there

Help! My personality got stuck in this signature machine and I cant get it out!

i broke a few of my personal records last friday

17 catches of 6 ball async fountain and more catches than i've done before of the sync fountain ( i didn't count but i reckon it was about 18 catches).
20 catches of async 4 club fountain too
messy so it was though.

learnt a new 5 ball passing thing with jonas mcdreadlikely in finchley yesterday but have no idea how to describe it.

still can't do any 5 ball tricks

no new poi moves to report.

Inverted butterfly airwrap, sort of. In juggling tennis, 423 and 423 with the 3 thrown underneath, whatever that is.

Cole, you coming to Spitz tomorrow? Bloody 531 is eluding me
