Airwraps and Hyperloops
A funky article by Dom, introducing and explaining the terms airwrap and hyperloop.
Includes this important observation:
Written by: "Dom"
"The word "hyperloop" was first used on this board by Glass in October 2002. Since then there has been constant debate about what a hyperloop actually is. Ultimately a hyperloop is part of the airwrap family of moves and it doesn't actually matter what it is or what it's called as long as you're having fun."
[Old link]
an excellent 'how-to' guide for the most basic tangling move from Professor Coleman. The thread that started me hitting my poi together on purpose.
[Old link]
This thread is basically what got all the techie people into Hyperloops and Isolations. Here you can verify that this stuff is all Glass’ fault
It's massive and has lots of interesting stuff (if you skim past the occasional bout of arguments/accusations)
Butterfly Threads
[Old link]
Dom & Dantana explain the whole tangly butterfly thingy
[Old link]
Dantana, Coleman, Poibox and Nix? explain the whole tangly butterfly thingy
[Old link]
includes MORE useful stuff about butterfly thingies from Dr Dantana. He knows his thingies he does…
[Old link]
Starts off describing recoil-wrapping one-poi from a butterfly tangle. Goes into more general butterfly tangly advice.
Buzzsaw Threads
[Old link]
In fact… it’s a tangled buzzsaw
[Old link]
OK thread, but not enormously informative or helpful.
[Old link]
advice on how to keep buzzsaw tangles going. Good stuff.
[Old link]
Oli explains stuff about adding and removing twists from tangly buzzsaws (with nice diagrams
)[Old link]
not particularly informative or helpful
Helpful Theoretical Type Threads
[Old link]
More than what it says in the title. Messed up tangly conversations.
[Old link]
i reckon this is a very useful thread for advancing your understanding of tangles in general.
[Old link]
The effects of rotating hands contrary to spin direction. Reducing the amount of time you spend untangled.
[Old link]
Horizontal tangly stuff and a bit of general chatter. Definitely worth checking out.
Wierd Moves n Stuff…
[Old link]
Three awesome new tangly moves (with video) from the Reverend Rev
[Old link]
another great thread by le chat bleu with many funky ideas to play with…
[Old link]
Good description of and advice about… between the legs airwraps
[Old link]
(but... aren't all hyperloops atomic?
)[Old link]
Groovy idea from Tommy Nixford. Needs long poi.
[Old link]
Stuff about how to get lots of beats in airwraps
[Old link]
Stuff about how to get lots of beats in airwraps. again...
[Old link]
stuff about tangling poi then stalling them...
[Old link]
"...like some freaky astrojack/meteor mutant monster!"
[Old link]
Horizontal tangled throws from Dr Dantana
[Old link]
“you can put bouncy balls in socks then go tangle tangle bounce bounce tangle bounce.”
That’s about the size of it. It’s a short thread
Other Useful Bits
[Old link]
General advice about learning. Very useful.
[Old link]
Argh! Terminology debate! Mummy, i’m scared...
[Old link]
sometimes hyperloops make you sad PART ONE! :sad:
[Old link]
sometimes hyperloops make you sad PART TWO!
Only included for the sake of completeness
[Old link]
Given it's useful sounding title, this thread is quite shockingly pointless
[Old link]
Some stuff about turning with hyperloops. Not enormously useful.
[Old link]
Some random stuff – ball chain, 3 beat corkscrews, teabags and cone-shaped gravity…
[Old link]
Mainly descends into terminology confusion
[Old link]
simple question? About hyperloops?
[Old link]
oh god, don’t mention fountains, you’ll only upset cole…

phosphenes are the little blobs
(usually red or purple, but they can be any colour. The light blue ones are my favourites)
entoptics are patterns made up of the little blobs.
i find that sitting down and pressing my eye sockets into my knees produces quite awesome 'tunnel' effect entoptics in a wide range of colours.
though i've no idea what effect that might have on the health of your eyes in the long term...
Entoptics should not to be confused with antoptics, which are teeny tiny little spectacles for myopic insects.

This is Jon.
We each liked a differnet part of that post.
Konsti liked the first line, whereas I liked the last line.
MY question to the board is:
Does this match our personalities?
(Ive always wondered about what I was doing to my eyes dangerwise when pushing them in... makes them aches for a while afterwards, plus its fun waiting for the sight to return

Think I should start a petition to rename it "The Stoned Hawks"?
Or would they disapprove?
