We're talking about a buzzsaw in the middle of a weave right? Only good with chains short enough to buzzsaw with... I was playing with it last night. It's kinda hard though because coming out of the 3 beat your arms are crossed, no? Which means your chains need to be really short to avoid noses...Or am I totally wrong?

I've also found a fake 5-beat while trying to crack the real one.
Basically, it IS a five beat, except when I go for beat 4 and 5, I spin my hands at the wrong speeds. The trailing poi catches up with the leading one, as it crosses from one side to the other at the same time as the leading one, if not before.Looks REALLY cool...the poi go in and out of splittime every five beats. They come together and do a big sweep across your body, and then they split again.I'd describe the actual hand motions in more detail but it's tricky to describe something you don't mean to do...!

I like doing that too Paddy. Much fun to be had...but I never really see how it looks from the outside.Two beats doesn't necessarily mean a nosebreaker, that is a different thread.You can do a two beat weave aka crossover, or a crossover like Paddy is talking about. There are so many variations, it is really cool.------------------Pele Higher, higher burning fire...making music like a choir...https://www.pyromorph.com
