Forums > Beginner Poi Moves > What are you working on now?

Kinda scared about starting this thread cos i have a bad history of starting thread that already exist BUT i have done an extensive search and im pretty sure that this thread is completely new!!

i was just out in the garden having a bit of a spin, and i thought "hmmm i wonder what other people are trying to learn at the moment" and decided it would be agreat insight into the future of poi and where people were heading, and serve as inspiration to people who are a bit stuck. There is the obvious "oooh ive just learnt this" thread stuck at the top, but i thought it'd be good to hear what problems people are having with the moves while they are learning them, and how the over come them so other people can look and discover ways they might not have thought of.

so start your replies with "This Week I Am Mostly Learning....."

This Week I Am Mostly Learning.....3bt btb weaves, reverse5bt weave, and trying to work out 6bt TTN aswell as forward7bt weave. Problems?? loads, but these moves ( ):
3btbtb weave, i keep hitting myself in the head, but im slowly getting the timing down,
Reverse 5bt, my wrists dont seem to like it, still working on timing, again keep hitting myself in the head
6btTTN again, the wrists are complaining, and the timing keeps going off
Forward7bt, i got a few beats the otehr night but i lost it now

Aaah - I think this crucial bit of infomation will reveal
the secret of anti-spin flowers to world!!


So that means a non-anti-spin spun flower makes
5 circles.. (5/4 turn for each position)

~peace is a fire~

yep, 5 circles:

1 big one + 4 little ones

innit

Right!



And so the anti-spin makes 4 little ones minus 1 big one (=3 circles)

by george i thnk he's got it...!


counting the total 'circles' in the pattern is counter-intuitive so instead, we count beats as the poi pass our arms.

when it comes to spinning goofy flowers (one arm normal spin, one arm antispin), this helps no end - otherwise you're trying to reconcile a 5 circle pattern with a 3 circle pattern and it all gets a bit hectic wherease counting beats from the centre leads to a 4 beat pattern with each arm

forward butterfly to backward butterfly with a hypperloop in between me and my mate cant even figure out how to do it but we decided it would be cool to try it


try doing a leg stal with one poi, so you have them both goin one way, do an air wrap in front of you, and then stall the other poi, so you end up with a backward butterfly.
i had a crack at air wraps, n hyper loops, n all i managed was to get pissed off. mite leave that one for a wile.

i made a mateor this week. took me a few goes, but this one seems to work good. i dont know anyone wat uses a meteor, so im working it all out from scratch. i used 9 mm cotton rope, with monky fists with golf balls in them. the whole things about 170 cm, but im thinking of trying one 150cm.

yeah, 150 is better.

you can hyperloop from forwards to backwards bf realy easy, just catch them at the top, backwards to forwards is a bit more problematic, because forwards is not a natural direction to exit from, but totally possible.
