a helix is a mathematical shape like DNA. never heard of it in context of poi before.

have heard an airwrap called a NEXUS by dantana, but no idea bout at helix.

Actually I was thinking about a Nexus which is what Dantana started calling airwraps.

Maybe the Helix is a name someone decided to put on swinging outside the box (or trinity as Arashi calls it). rolleyes

Ok - two things I couldn't figure out from the list (though the list is quite helpful)

what's a wibble?

And this move that I do to change direction: butterfly > giant butterfly > (this is the part that has no name) then long arm the poi, paralell to the ground, away from you and then in close to your body. In kind of a "off ramp to the interstate" sort of way, when you bring them out of the "ramp" then they're going in the opposite direction.....so - what's that called?

The Nexus is the point at which the poi meet during an air wrap/hyperloop. So where they hit, that's the Nexus...

And what you do there kinda sounds like the way I go from a weave to a corkscrew, simply by forcing the poi to change planes. I have no idea on its name, if it has one!

The poi change planes, follow a smooth pattern then go back to the first plane, but in the opposite direction. What do you reckon, the 2022?

A helix is the shape the poi move in most of the time, it's the path made when you spining e.g. a vertical circle and then move the center of the circle from side to side (to make a cylinder), but i'e not heard of a particular move being called a helix. But in any move where the poi goes form one plane to another it does so on a 'helical' path.

a wibble is continuous tail tapbacks, ie throw the poi, then tapback the tail, then tapback the tail again and so on. Much more on these on my site.

I still don't follow you on the wibble - I've seed videos of people chasing them on the ground - is that it?

Hmm - now calling a 2022 might be kind of cool. Lol - But no one would know what it is just from hearing the name, it would have to be something that describes it...like a giant butterfly switch or something like that? Or a giant butterfly 2022 smile That has a nice ring to it, hehe

er, along the ground? that's a new one to me..i thought wibbles were throws where the poi and string/sock rotate round once before you catch it again. confused

It's better to burn out than to fade away
