Sweeet

That must look pretty damned smooth.

I've been trying something like that but using my arms.

Exactly the same set up, just a different body part, mines as sloppy as a school dinner though.

*Oh, just for a minute,* my bed said.
"Don't lie to me," I grumbled.
*But you're so tired...*

yeah thanks sub - it has become a lot smoother with practice, word of warning to blokes though this is not one to try in shorts if you have a lot of leg hair!!!

I have a nearly bald right leg at the moment!

read "Dom has seen it at Glastonbury" as "Dom stole it at Glastonbury"

It's a nice move. Doing it with arms is harder, but looks cool if from forward weave you swing both poi under your right arm, wrap, back to reverse, then wrap over left arm.

lol, no worries Dom. It isn't often that I have a chance to share a new move

I am still working on the double arm wrap that you showed me but not having too much success at the moment

Hope to make it to Nodnol soon for one of the meets and I will probably be in a much better state to pick up a few tips

I was playing with this last night. Another variation for you. From forward weave on right hand side take left hand to left hand side and wrap under the left arm. At the same time take right poi behind your back and wrap over left arm. Then you're into a butterfly, and should be able to repeat the move on the right, but I didn't mange to do this. Did the first bit, and now have a nice burn to show for it!

lol, nice one dom, I have been practicing trying different wraps, the beaming balls are pretty good for this but they dont half hurt when you go wrong

Going to try and weight my electroglo's a little cos they are really nice to wrap but are a little too light.

I have a couple of nice shaped burns on my forearms too from trying my wraps with someone elses poi! (got sunburnt on the Sunday at Ashton Court Festival so didnt bring out my poi but as soon as Emma lit up I had to have a play with fire!)

Anyway enjoy - I am not to sure about all this 'just throw the other poi behind your back and wrap' business I think I need to try and get the BTB weave down first
