I believe it's called a "Stooper Dooper Innie Outie Cross Warp Mach II"

But don't hold me to that...

I can't hear you... I have a banana in my ear.

errm, I know inverted weave as something entirly diffrent, that happens buzzsaw, and i use 'inside' for between the arms and the body...

the move your describing tentical is called watermill or low windmill. and yeah its ace.

if you do hyperloops in and out [of a watermill] you get what i call airwraps.



that's a brilliant way to describe what an airwrap is.

i think i shall steal it and use it to teach people if that's okay with you

I live in a world of infinite possibilities.

yeah dss a full watermill should go from outside wallplane (in front) to outside wallplane plane (behind), just like a windmill does but low rather than high.



but most people don't bother going through the legs to get to the outside wallplane behind and instead go to the inside plane in front (between the arms and the body).



you can do this with a windmill too but its hard and has the added obstable of your face.



[editwithdisclaimercosglassrepliedwhileiwastyping:

there isn't a name for the 'watermill but not through the legs' as far as i know but i since i enjoy raping glass' definitions so much i will continue to call it a windmill until he makes up a better name than 'watermill but not between the legs'.]

yo,

actually i call it that cos thats what PK and rob call it. i never knew your name.

and id call what you call watermill '2bt btl wallplane' or maybe 'show-us-yer-arse-with-poi'

tentical, thats some red stuff, but how are you going from forwrads to backwards, are you actaully changing the direction or is it continiuing into backwards? Dragon was talking about this but wastwrapped, and i still dont get it.

*sratches chin*

ahhhhh.. so thats what a watermil is then(going with the non glass definition). i thought it was something else...

i had never spun poi in that space between my arms and my body before i read this thread a couple of hours ago, since then ive learnt the watermill

so thanks tenticle (and everyone else) for bringing this to my attention

i reckon btb looks fairly dooable aswell?

wow that's crazy another case of someone posting a move i was doing the previous night for the first time in a while. that move looks great with a salsa step BTW.
yes that's whgy i posted them together and (in my language) their names sound similar too (inverted and inside)

quadruples? did i call somehting that?

oh i meant it will multiply your move possibilitites by like four. doing all the isolated inside and inverted weave variations on the spider. or "weave moves"
although there are cool four plane weaves, like i said i think inverted weaves look better in four planes. i don't know why i said quadruples that was just a number... i pretty much just type whatever i can as fast as i can off the top of my head and go so sometimes things tie together like that in a transdimensional mumbojumbo.

how is it that i have never herd any of u talk about "figure 8" is anyone even familiar with it? i'm sure of that but maybe u guys call it something else its like a windmill but horizonal to the ground passing over your head and under your arms
soo? familiar?

it must be green

Lights dancing off my skin as chains wrap round it.
Pain is in a little box and I'm so glad I found it.

joulz... what you describe is a corkscrew,which is basically a figure of 8 in a different place.

figure of 8 normally means 2 beat weave to most people i think.
