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

LOL @ Flid

btb wallplane tangles.

T


with both poi going clockwise in front of me split time, when you put both behind your back you can easily tangle strings if they stay split time. The strings hit and you throw the whole tangle in frotn of your body on the rt, hand side, really reachy with left hand. It will untangle in front of you. TRy split time in frotn of you behind and then overhead in order.

Whoa! Long thread!!
I been having much fun this morning with a 3bt counter-time (is that where the poi spin in opposite directions?) weave! Then I dropped my poi off the balcony! Whoops!
Also just kinda managed an under the legs and around the back weave type thingy.
Still can't get reels though!

Today, I have learnt to do a very untidy butterfly waistwrap, a nice arm/leg wrap combo, and a thru-wrap!

Productive day, methinks!

My state of mind is not yours to define!

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

Hmmm. Productive spin to Ozzy

I think I have antispin flowers down.

I can move into and out of them which was lacking before.

Most combos I can do without the look of panic combined with shear concentration that I had when I first tried them.

Turning antspin flowers are still beyond me but I can do it with one hand so far.

I think I'm also closer to 5 beat isolated weave. But not really sure. I think I understand what is ment by this now

Also been playing with random plane isolations. Really fun and silly!

Learnt loads of new stuff last night, like turning both ways and a more controlled butterfly.

I think i can almost turn in any direction now, with a bit of thinking time. Was very not dropping anything constantly, but very and to keep on getting hit where the sun don't shine.

ah wah wah wah a wah wah

You know those people your parentals warned you about?... I'M ONE OF THEM!
Yes, i do bite!!

"Moo," said the happy cow.

I have nearly got the 4 beat windmill down and I have the bruises on my ribs (only the right as havn't maneged to get the anticlockwise going yet) to proove that I havn't quite made it..yet!

Also, not doing neck wraps anymore, they leave funny scars when they go wrong, tehe. Think I read another thread about scars, maybe should go and have a looksey in there

*are those my feet?!*

Are antispin weave turns possible?
hmmmm...



yes indeed... just remember that antispin is easier wallplaned than sideplaned.. that should help you learn the other direction and the turns..

Got a nice whip catch from a wrap/throw combo this morning!

been doing some nice 2 handed wibbling, it's got a lovely rhythm to it, Like when you see someone with 2 devilsticks doing double propellors. But with wibbles the poi just tick tock direction and bounce high and low.

Been mixing in some behind the back throws and tossing dibbles to opposite hands, all of which really messes with my head and could definitely be called "2 softClub juggling"
