Try and stretch or grow your arms!
When you cross them make sure that you start crossing them as far up as possible, if that makes sense, so you can then keep twisting them round each other.
It's an ugly move, but worth being able to do I spose.

Personally, I found Mot's place to be more helpful.

Keep in mind there are 7bt variations as well. You don't necessarily have to twist your arms up like the first link. The "Inversions, Insides..." thread has a few of them, you can also do through-wraps (the second link) and probably a few other techniques.

Dont worry... Youre not missing out on much not knowing the 7 beat. It does have a few applications they're limited at best. I can do the 7 beat but pretty much never use it. There are much more fun things you can spend your time learning.

i got it after goin to mots place. its good to get it, but everyone is right, its more of a technical move than anything i think. ppl watchin who dont do poi themselves wont see much different between a 5 and a 7, and the 5 is SOOOOO much smoother. the 7 is alot of effort for mot much gain, however i did learn, if only to say that i can do it. its good to know that you can do it if you want...even if you never want to...
It took a while, but once their numbers dropped from 50 down to 8, the other dwarves started to suspect Hungry.
