Haven't really been spinning pio that much in the last 6 months, and i haven't been following this forum much. (I've spent my time learning 2 diablo which is fially coming together, linking a few nice suns together, suicide, just getting forwards fan, spinklers coming on and nailed the vortex a few times)

Anyhoo, i was just wondering if i'd missed out on any fundamentally new stuff. The last thing that i remember being fundamentally new to me was all the inside, inverted, variations of butterflies and weaves. COs it opened up possibilities i'd never explored. But that was about a year ago i think.

I'm guessing a certain group of bristol folk have been advancing in the direction of >>> plane changing tangles // propellors // contact // mind games?

Really just looking for something that i can get my teeth into. Get back into me poi.

spherc -- both. umm. i checked last night and split time is definitely easier, even though i didn't think it would be when i started learning these. if i'm doing split time, i turn into the tangle as it tangles on the leading side... it untangles, retangles in the other direction, then i turn again. same time, i have to decide to tangle either on top or on bottom a half beat before the turn, and then decide whether to turn right or left with it, so it's actually a lot harder for me to do clean, even though i learned it first (story of my life). split time might have a trailing side tangle where you turn away from it, but if it does i haven't learned to untangle it. anyone know about those? so yeah, the exact move i was talking about is the:
"4 beat split time butterfly outside tangle weave". this is also why i'm against shortened poi move names. lol. it's hard enough to not be vague with deeply technical terms already!

I like Mr Chutney's long arm, stalled pendulum flowers.

Me, 2Bags and Frodo were coming up with a lot of post-modernistic poi moves this Sunday...
Some awesome stuff there, had to be seen to be believed.
"Fakes" were a true classic...

"fakes" - they're mine they are. soon to be appearing on a video smile.

puresock and i have also been working on a new type of poi matrix which is quite cutting edge. might try and persuade him to put it on a video when he can get it slightly smoother.

favourite trick from sunday though was durbs demonstrating "foot isolations". truly beautiful and mesmorising ubbrollsmile.

I'll get to work on that but I also have to make the long awaited force push video. I might just stick it all together into one. But, of course, I am missing one important thing: a video camera.

mmm, the return of post-modernist poi... ubblove

bovril monkey and ucof's 'gilligan flowers' were truly a sight to behold.

and i found out that doing antispin beats when moving pendula through point isolations makes for a nice braintwister.

been having a go at andy's wrapped spirals too -
trying to do those in flowers really hurts my head so i gave up smile
