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 biggrin

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



::flash enthusiastically pats your back::

cool to know hunter green but the wrong place for it, try the 'social chat' thread and/or make an introduction thread using the link via the 'my home' link top left.



but welcome smile



back on topic :

really got the 4 point (per hand) crazy thing looking cool now, and the near 3 point simian thing I think.



Finally getting regular (instead of butterfly) huggies thanks to Sambo Flux passing down the Simian method for teaching them.

Antispin weave and butterfly btb waist wraps thanks to Irinus.



I can get a low quality video out of my stills camera so people can have a clue what I'm talking about soon smile

Looking good Yakumo, there are some nice variations of the wallplane anitspin. I've been working on going into and out of it from a huggie and antispin flower.

Finally, I'm starting to get a few BTB hyperloops, a couple sloppy hybrid weaves and turning antispin weaves. Too much to work on, too little time...

Some weird pirhouette thingy...
Starting with a fwrd splittime. I use my right arm to just go 'round' well, i hope you've seen a pirhouette thing anyhow.. my left arm goes aroubd my back and in front again on the other side. And the right arm goes on the other side... umm... It's difficult to explain.. i never tried explaining a pirhouette to anyone. I just played around and it came to me...

Aah, it's so daft it's taken me so long, for all the daft tricks i know, it's taken me forever to finally truly get same direction huggies, forward and reverse, turning both ways, totally, thanks so much Sambo (and Simian).

so.. a regular windmill is 2 beats right? so for a 4 beat your folding your wrists over in the same sort of vein as doing a 5 beat weave? and by inverted you mean your arms hang low so it's going around your legs instead of your head?

Not really smile

It's more like a straightjacket overhead.. you go into a inversion from a rev weave but instead of going to the other side of the body you lift your arms and let the poi pass over and behind you. it's not very hard:)

Smile.. It confuses people..:)

aaah, course, every time someone says inverted I just think upside-down. Makes sense now, I did know what an inversion is in Poi (going into barrel rolls/straight jackets etc..)

\o/ I finally got reverse antispin flowers last night, still a bit messy and need tidying up though, will have to get antispin flower turns sorted next.

Also got some nice airwraps into my waistwraps the other day as well which look rather cool 9if i do say so myself tongue)

Richee, isn't that just 2 poi in 1 hand, not spinning?

ubblol Edited for wrongness: OH gilligan is 1 poi still, other poi spinning, both in 1 hand. Cheers Richee for clarification!



Got 4 beat and 6 beat buzzsaw hyperloops right to left, under-arm airwraps (cheers to Durbs for showing me those), and managed to turn antispin flowers (reverse to forward turning left, can't turn back or turn right yet). Sketchy, but doable. And that weird wallplane antispin flower with an isolated crossover to get back to the first position that Yakumo does in his recent video.



Damn those butterfly waistwraps though, I just can't seem to make them work. rolleyes

Hmm.. stumbled upon a fun move yesterday while playing with crossers and tangles.. put them together smile.

Start with wall plane tangle (airwrap),
turn and bring to buzzsaw plane (infinite tangle),
then bring your arms into a wheel plane crosser to untangle the poi

then uncross the arms and tangle the poi again and untangle back in the wall plane (release airwrap).

or turn your body so that your wheel crosser turns into a reel crosser (traditional crosser)

You can also turn all the way around so that you are doing a reverse wheel plane crosser, then uncross to a reverse infinite tangle..

blah blah etc...

fun stuffs.. dunno if that made any sense tho.

Peace,
- Sui

I just found the perfect way to fold the handles* of my poi, so they fit perfectly around my fingers. I can finally spin with my palms wide open biggrin I'm sooo happy! (I've been looking a way to do this for a long time)

*they are double finger loop handles
