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::

mind meltdowns. off Zans DVD encyclo-poi-dia. example. spin both poi forwards and spin the right behind you on your left side whilst your left comes in front of you and spins on the other side. Then on the turn, turn your body and your right hand spins the poi backwards in front of the body on left side!



probably a poor explanation but im hungover. Watch a vid in the 'stall' section of tutorials and all will be clearer



Dont know why its in stalls though



edit- when i can actually od them ill post a better vid in the tutorials. how do you upload vids to tutorials anyway?

have no idea what it's called. biggrin
but it was the backwards / antispin version of what durbs showed me at fire gathering which was apparently a polyrythym hybid confused ubblol

well from reverse butterfly into 1 long arm followed by the short arm antispinning underneath - to turn to normal poly-whatever on the other side turn repeat...
ask simta he was there wink

A couple of balls short of a full cascade... or maybe a few cards short of a deck... we'll see how this all fans out.

Ablotross, those are avatars. You can edit yours in home, then at the bottom there are three links that say edit. Pick the top one, enter your password, and pick a stock image or upload your own, nearer to the bottom.

Pique turns and pirouettes. Basically, you just stall, reverse direction, raise the poi as you turn, and exit into a corkscrew then into that one thingie with the name I can never remember.
