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::



biggrin

I got this one thing that I've seen Nevisoul do once and it's perplexed me for sooo long. But I had that other spinner I met look at it and he told me what it was and now I can finally do it. It's like half a meltdown and you turn into a reel and now your facing backwards and the reel goes from your hip up to your shoulders and then you do a whirl and I love it so much grin

The only luck is bad luck.

Shut up before I stall my poi up your ass grin

Together-same reel pirouettes. Somehow I never thought to actually do these before, and they're lots of fun.

I've been doing poi for about a month and a half now, and the forward 3 beat weave was one of the first things I learned, and I just realized today that I've been doing it wrong. >.>

And for some reason that one's stuck in my head and I can't figure out how to do it correctly!

It's okay Chad, just make sure you reprogram it and it'll come to be natural the more you do it, in time you won't accidentally go into the incorrect motion when you have the proper one ingrained in your muscle memory.

Do not try to see behind your back. Instead, try only to realize the truth: you have no back... Wait, that isn't right. Instead, try to realize that it's a really annoying move to learn and refuse to let it get the better of you tongue2
