i managed to learn the corkscrew, chasing the sun and 4 beat weave, all in 10 mins!! i STILL CANT learn the 3 beat weave >.<, goddess! Any tips on starting a routine?

Where has my heart gone, trapped in the eyes of a stanger

What's a four beat weave?

Congrats though!

i'm still perfecting my 4-beat, it's still a tad rusty

I was always scared with my mother's obsession with the good scissors. It made me wonder if there were evil scissors lurking in the house somewhere.

ive just got the 5 beat and have no idea what the 4 beat is



a 4bt is when you do the 5bt motion on one side and then the 3bt on the other - so if you can do a 4bt both ways round then in theory you can do both the 3bt () and 5bt as well.

I know this sounds like jibberish but i don't know how else to explain it. Do a search

but

i would have liked to have tought sim the 3bt doubles staff weave, but never got chace to , then he went and learnt it himslef! grrr MEN! sorry i mean MONKEYS!

oh how can i be mad at him

Yes. thats right.

Although it feels like the extra bit is only on one side in 4 beat, its actually on both.

cos it extra-twists on one side, and extra-untwists the other

whereas the 5 beat extra-twists and extra-untwists on both sides.

That confused me for a very long time...

Like most theoretical knowledge, that's totally irrelevant to actually learning the move, and will probably just make it harder to learn. So i probably should have kept my mouth shut

so i am now going out there to learn all my moves again, but backwards!!




good plan, you've probably all experienced this, but cos i tought myself and didn't know any poi people at all for like the first 2 years i didn't realise you shouild learn everything backwards.

i then had to spend about 6 months re-learning every trick i could already do. Very frustrating!!

I had a dream that my friend had a

it was the book of my dreams.

When i learned the behind the back 3bt weave i kep hitting the back of my shins ( dont know how u call that area) so i toook old soccer shin pads and flipped them over and since the string would whipe me in the eyes ( strings exact lenght to hit my face) i would wear ski goggles:)

it must be green

That must have looked intersting

Back of the shin is your calf btw
