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

oh and I forgot one. I'm not sure what it's called (if it already has a name can someone let me know please) but the best comparison name we could come up with was "contact suicide" as the poi constantly rotate around my wrist/forearm but not wrapped around the arm, the poi are straight and I can get up to about 5 or 6 revolutions before they fall off. I need to make isolate movements to make it work but basically it looks like a devil stick when one rotates around the other. Know what I mean??
They can be in vertical or horizontal planes. Vertical is very hard and horizontal has been much more fun so far as I can do all sorts of body movements and throws etc.

been over the spherc and found the thread but there's sounds a little different to mine and mine dont' actually wrap around the arm, merely touch it. Kinda like isolated staff if you catch my drift?

Keep up the hard work Bug, and oli your wibbling was looking damn good the other day.
Bug, that move has no name but there's a vid somewhere, i'll try to dig it out.
double wibble = dibble
triple wibble = tribble

dibble tribble! class!
Don't forget four is quibble!
I just realised there's been two Matt's teaching us moves! There must be something in the name me thinks
*runs to depoll to change name*
Custom Matt...no hang on that sounds like a posh rug for your front door!
Hopefully I'l get to meet poipoipoi Matt sometime and share some doobies and thingumy bobs, although me thinks it'll be more receiving on my part than giving
Matt you should coe to Falmouth for tis going to be great...oh yes
Me and PiP Matt decided to call that move it Contact Suicide...seemed like a suitable name, and so it shall remain till someone says something better

Straight-arm 4 beat TTN. At least forwards on one side, but it's a pretty nifty looking move and I should be able to translate it pretty easily elsewhere

Straight-arm as in straight out in front of you. Well except in this case it's more straight out to one side currently - makes it easier to learn I find. Once I can turn then I can get to point it in other directions

a sorta weird looking 3 beat underarmy thing. apparently it looks pretty cool, but i want a vid so i can see what im doing. and i got 3 beat weave with a buzzsaw in the middle, going one way, will work on the other way soon. and i found out that a tangly thing i'd been doing was actually a hyperloop

poi: reliable wall plane 7bt weave, standing still, not turning the body at all. both directions. and another way of doing a 7 that makes both the other ways i know of doing it the same way looked at from the middle in opposite directions. which would make sense if you saw it. honest.
staff: nice spinny jumpy thing, where you kick the staff, jump over it and then catch it behind the back. and a monkey stick climb thing. which dosen't really fit with anything but looked fun in the video.

Continuous isolated buzzsaw....pretty clean and guarenteed everytime.
Continuous isolated buzzsaw into isolated airwrap and back in isolated buzzsaw. Not so clean and unrealiable but getting there.
Both thanks to Oli
Got much better at the propellor contact moves thanks to Elasta
and can now take it up down and sometime pass BTB. Will be greatly improved soon but when will I have time to learn staff?!

i haven't posted in here for a while.
rest assured, i've learnt many, many things in the last three weeks but all of it is far more valuable to me than juggling or poi and far too personal to list here so i'll leave it at that
