Forums > Beginner Poi Moves > journeys through poiland.

left, at the weekend i had at least one person ask me to put this on the internet... it is a way of thinking about how you spin poi and also a little excersise to practise. dont worry if you cant make sense out of that though, it is not the easiest thing to explain in text. there is a video here



so....



A Short Journey through Poiland:



Time taken: 10 seconds (approx)



Start: spin in wall plane, split time, same direction, ccw.



Directions:



Hyperloop from front to back of the left side of the wall plane, exit with right hand under left.



Enter hyperloop from back of left wall plane, right hand under left.



Rotate hands ccw 180° so right is above left.



Wrap left poi on right wrist. (Right poi should exit in a pendulum at this point)



Right poi spins cw out of pendulum over left arm to the front of wall plane.

Left poi follows through to front wall plane in notcoleman inversion.

Right poi leads into barrel roll inversion on the left of wall plane.



Exit into crosser (cw, left arm over right)



Throw right poi (so its direction stays the same when caught), uncross arms, and catch right poi.



Airwrap. (cw)



On exit immediately stall left poi and then right.



Immediately. airwarp. (ccw)

Q. Where did the journey end?



A. Back where it started.



***************************************************

A Short Journey (see directions.) was a scenic loop, or a short wander up a hill. When you spin you’re always travelling along paths, making a journey… I try to make my journeys as interesting as possible, and what interests me is convoluted twisted paths that end up in surprising places. The above journey is just one I find fairly natural, and obviously you can leave the path of that journey and turn it into a new journey at any point.

You will all enjoy making different journeys so go out and explore Poiland, stay near the edge and dont be boring. It doesn’t matter if you make a mistake and get lost; it is easy to start again.



i would also be interested to find out what kinds of journeys other people are intrested in making. or even other ways of thinking about poi how you spin poi.
