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

balls:

slowly getting hold of 615...

can now do (4)55613(4) from both sides.
managed to catch (4)5 561561 3(4) twice (starting on the right) which i'll be extending to (4)55 615615 613(4) as soon as possible.

633 is still killing me but i get 633633 most times now.

4b mills is thinking about being neat and tidy but ball number 2 on each side keeps deciding to hit the others.

10 catches of the sketchiest inverse 5b cascade in the world.

and i'm writing a 3b routine that i can't do

that'd be our very own mr weasel, would it not?

today i did some:
stick: continuous wallplane elbow rolls
poi: normal and btb opposite direction crossers

"Switching between different kinds of chuu chuu sometimes gives this "urgh wtf?" effect because it's giving people the phi phenomenon."

Yup

Anyway, 4-beat BF weave both directions now. Now to get them split-time for proper 5bt BF weave craziness

"Moo," said the happy cow.

that's ridiculous Duncan, you're just putting a random collection of words together and pretending it comes out with an amazingly complex and great looking move!







actually it's just that I'm crap at explaining!! And I forgot to add "inverted"



It's almost like the butterfly split thingie move vid that rev just posted....only betterer (see I am crap at describing stuff!)



Maybe one day I'll be able afford a camera and actually learn to use my free web space so I can host the clips instead of craply describing them. Until then...I'll have to learn to be more desriptive. And besides, you know when you see it at BrizzleJC you'll be copying me

Some basic offset butterfly weaves, getting better at 4 and 5 beat butterfly weaves. And I'm actually getting better at BTB weaves and turning, something I've almost completely ignored since I was able to do them

found a nice new combination by accident (as usual)

start with c/w butterfly, go into TTN to throw the right poi under the left arm into a wibble catch/throw on the right forearm, it flips straight up and into the path of the left poi for a quality whip catch straight back into your hands. Lovely

I think you're talking about an atom weave... it's where the planes are perpendicular and it is a sort of cross between weave and TTN. I've been shown it a couple of times, but I could never remember quite how it goes

"Moo," said the happy cow.

Although saying that your buzzsaw weave and turn 45 degrees advice was good, think I've remember how it goes

They shouldn't do that no no no

the reverse behind the back weave! yay!!

My mind not only wanders, it sometimes leaves completely

Omigod Lisa!! You have to show me how to do that one

Well done xx
