Posted:I wanted to put a few ideas out there for people to play with. These aren't Jedi. They're not new. They're not 'my' moves. There's a whole load of variations that lead from and to them. And I don't want people to start discussing them too geekily. They're just ideas to give to people who might not have seen them yet. And they all look better if you smile too.
The Wheelchair - Same time isolations at your sides between your arm and your torso.
This is just one member of a large family of moves (a family called 'poi moves'), but got a name because it was for too good a naming opportunity to miss! There's a whole load of other variations - split time, in front, internal to external, internal tuck-turns, etc... You figure them out.
Tap Backs
Spin backwards at your side, slowly. As the poi head passes 45 degrees past horizontal on it's rise release the handle so that the head continues towards you. Quickly bring your hand up to impact with the poi head, sending it back whence it came. The handle will be somewhere, grab it and keep spinning. Can also be done the other way, with poi coming over your shoulder.
These stem from seeing club juggling tap backs, which I can't do. These seem to work with my sock poi - haven't tried other socks/tail/fire/goblin/whatever poi. Speed, point of release and possibility of it working at all are dependent on your poi.
Mid Chain Grabs
Stop powering the poi so that you can move your hand from the centre of rotation and grab hold of the chain near the poi head, spin a revolution, then let go into the original poi circle.
Isolated Throws
Spin backwards. As the poi head reaches horizontal push the handle down. The poi will isolate and the handle will return to you.
Catches
Don't let jugglers have all the fun! Catch and throw your poi. There's two different ways to catch your poi:
pull - If you stop your hand giving poi circular momentum a small hand movement can pull the poi back into your hand. This makes catches nice and easy in all positions, and allows some great exaggerations.
fall - Just stop powering the poi and it'll fall. With practice it'll fall nicely into the palm of your had. This looks a bit smoother than a pull catch, but is a bit harder, especially when catching from behind.
Flatlining and Flicks
Gotta dig them cheesy names! Basically a pull catch which misses and so dissects the circle of poi movement and forms a semicircle. Bounce = flick from a Gilligan
Throws and drops
What else you going to do once you've caught it?
Bounce poi
Don't let bounce jugglers have all the fun! Put big bouncy balls on a rope (or buy a suitable dog toy) and find a flat, hard floor. If you've even seen club bounce juggling you know what I mean.
Enjoy

it's an intersting idea man and one that needs some thought. when i first read it, it seemed like technical jargon, but the more i think about it.. what we're doing is technical!
i think you've got to be careful about completley disasociating yourself with the existing language of poi though, if you want to create a smooth process of learning from begginer through intermediate to technical. there needs to be point of reference to existing and understood phrases/moves such as TTN which visually aid us to understand what someone is explaining...
also there are many that love the weird and whacky names and moves that get used as it add's flavour to what otherwise could become far too mathmatical and precise...
i do like the idea of naming the planes though as it could really help explanations!

Plus, have you ever threaded a needle? It's exactly the same motion! It's the only name that makes sense!

Years ago I got taught the push-through - which makes a lot more sense than TTN. And the cross-follow also makes a lot more sense that the weave. But most of the time I still refer to moves I'm teaching people as 'this one' and 'that one'.
And I've threaded many needles. It tends to involve squinting, licking the end of a peice of thread and occasionally pricking yourself. Hope of this happens during poi. At least not my poi!

Posted:*Bumping this up from months ago...*
Went into the depths of my cataloged moves that "I can't do yet" and busted out some tap backs. With huge fire wicks and lamp oil.
Big flames, no hair on hands, no burns (cuz my wicks have little exposed metal) and big fun.
When the wick is 'taped back' it gives off a bit of a fire ball.
Be very friggin careful with these and fire. I do them with my kevlar bracers on but it totally depends on the type of wick and wicking you have. Don't close your fingers around it though... (for those of you that know ice hockey rules, it's about that level of timing)... I think you'd definitely burn off skin with a mid-large sized wick and pure coleman fuel.
Thanks Dom. I think I found my first signature Ubermove... tap-back into an under the leg wrist wrap.

Well said. And actually I just realized that you can do head taps either with, or without releasing the finger strap. With socks I do a total release (so it's a bit of a weak throw) but with fire I keep my chains attached. Hrmm... Never realized that.

even is it has nothing to do with SWF, it shall thusly be called... SWF w/oslap, butterfly... or SLWw/oslap, TTN.
first time i read that i went then i realized you meant an actual move.

1. As a moderator would have told you if I didn't, please try not to use "u, c, cuz" while posting. There's plenty of people on the boards that either have english as a second language, or simply don't like it. Thanks
2. As for your post, I had no one around me to explain all of the moves and show me how to do them, but I managed. As long as you understand (and can preferably perform) all of the moves on the Lessons section (At the top of your page right now under "Free Lessons"), you can pretty much understand most of the stuff crazy people like PoiX3, Nx, Coleman and Bluecat are talking about. There's always a few that are completely different than those shown on the lessons (hyperloops, airwraps, throws, taps), but even most of those are pretty self explanatory. Except for hyperloops. They're very hard to understand through text, but that is what the Video forum is for! There's an aweful lot of videos that explain many of the things described in crazy posts like these, as well as other places for advanced lessons such as www.spherculism.com.
Try to visualize the text as much as you can. Get a first person view in your mind of what you'll be doing to recreate the text. Take it one step at a time and think clearly, you'll understand eventually. And it never hurts to just get a pair of poi in your hands and "spin it out"

Posted:Enough nonsense about naming moves, it's not like anybody actually agrees on the names anyway!
New thing to play with:
2 beat weave with total isolation
Like most technical moves it is absolutly pointless and looks just like lots of other moves where your hands move in unattractive patterns, but then some people like that....
The basic move with one hand is a 2 beat weave. When the poi is crossing over from right to left - right hand on right hand side and poi head right in front of your face. Isolate the poi head completely by bringing your hand up and round the poi, so that right hand moves to left hand side of your body whilst the poi head doesn't move at all. Then let poi regain momentum and move to left hand side. Repeat on way back to right hand side. Then do with both hands.
On a more useful and movement orientated note: total isolations in the wall plane whilst turning 180 degrees are lush. Keep the poi by your shoulder.
Wheel plane alternate direction total isolations also quite nice, but not really so visual.

Posted:Here's an idea i've been trying to make work but have currently been unable to do so.
When you light up, instead of spinning off the extra fuel before lighting you keep it on the poi & somehow create a fireball for a nice intro?
It is done with staff all the time - just hold the staff horizontally between your hands & give it a spin & throw it up in the air - you get a nice looking fireball on each wick & it is a great intro.
Is anything like this possible with poi?
The only thing i've come up with is doing a butterfly like move & clipping the poi off of each other at the top of the arc - it doesn't really work though & only a small amount of extra fire is created... maybe i should use more flammable fuel as an initial coat...
anyone know of something like this?

Dom, your 2 beat with full isolations is NOT ugly. You just have an incomplete perception of beauty that's missing the aesthetics of geek
"it's pretty because it's hard"
The lovely thing about (attempting
) full isolations is the rythym and speed changes i need to do. Float up to them really slowly then suddenly whanging my arm round as fast as i can. Last night i realised that i'd been doing something close to them for a little while (in fwd flowers), while trying to do sudden speed changes during each petal.
