Posted: 8th Jul 2005
no, seriously!!! i cant find hide nor hair of anything that will romotely convey how to do this move. The threads on here dont explain it very well, missing out massive bits of info.

come on guys, there has to be someone online who can do this spin?

There are lots and lots of threads about the reverse 5bt weave, here are a couple of searches that brought up lots of info

If you are stuck on something and you still can't do it with the descriptions in the threads (i know it can be really confusing sometimes!!) then bump an old thread instead of starting a new one. This means that when people search in future, there will be less threads for them to wade through to find the relavent info.



Happy spinning I hope you get the reverse 5bt soon!

I'm gonna be cheeky and post an answereven though I shouldn't because it's in so many other threads. But I can't decide which one to bump so I'll do it here.

I recently learnt this move.

When the poi are on my left side, and my wrist twist up for the 5bts, I bend my left hand outwards (so that I can get the extra spin needed for the 5) and bend my right wrist over and under my left wrist.

I use my shoulders or my right wrist to pull the other across my body to the other side. I'm still needing to watch my planes a bit, but it's there. For the other side coming back, just replace the words 'left' with 'right' and vice versa.

The only other advice that can be given is practice. YOU need to work out the timing needed as nobody can teach you this better than yourself. See where you think you go wrong and what you think you need to do about fixing it. Use soft poi, you WILL hit yourself.

Have fun!!

Empty your mind. Be formless, Shapeless, like Water.
Put Water into a cup, it becomes the cup, put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, put water into a teapot, it becomes the teapot.
Water can flow, or it can Crash.
Be Water My Friend.
