edit; okay glass just smacked me in the head with the obvious notion that inverted means upside down as well as the definition i went by, in which inverted means; reversed, in a contrary direction. so i am considering changing my terminology, but i have edited this to make sense with the stuff in the trinity thread. i'm just warning you that i may change this post when i get the time to give a flying fart. anyway this will make sense for a little while til i can change things to confuse you again
first, the crossed arm inverted weaves, which add two beats to a odd number weave...
the counting on this is pretty tricky, since it comes out of a weave that already has beats. in general for beat counts i go by the # of beats on each side of the crossover, since that way you don't have to be symmetrical to have it make sense. but the crossover happens at the entrance into the inversion so i label the inverted weave by which weave position you came into it from. there's so many variations that this may make sense later.
first, try the 3 beat inverted weave, which is
3 beat weave, but the crossover goes between your arms instead of to the other side. your arms, you will notice, are crossed, so you have to do an split time isolation with both hands so the chains don't wrap your arms.
next try it out of the five beat, which makes a 5 beat inverted weave.
insides are like buzzsaws but are not between your arms, they are between your arms and your body. take a buzzsaw in front, and drop your hands to your sides. now the wicks come under your armpits, and the chains are inside your arms. you can take a bfly or a spider and inside them, so if you do a bfly in front, you bend forward and do it inbetween your arms and your tummy. do them in the side plane, too.
now if you take a buzzsaw, do it inside at your side, and the take it around your back, keeping the same buzzsaw plane direction the whole time, you have a BTB inside. now try that, with an inverted weave instead of a buzzsaw. ouch. wear a cup. or "box" if your british
I have edited this title and post and cut out all the "buzzsaw" terms. Hope this makes more sense now!

Not really sure what to call it - upside-down weave? I guess you could call it an inside weave though, it certainly stays between the arms.

I'm not sure about all the stuff spiral says here, but I can do an inside weave.. 5bt reverse... and it goes inside to inside... I'm a little confused about yor diagram though.. is it going inside to inside.. or is it happening in the buzzsaw.. (I cant see how to weave in a buzzsaw, since your ahnds have to twist around each other and thus need a plane that is outside the arms (not necessarily outside))
the one I do goes from an inside plane on the right side to an inside plane on the left side and back.. and it involves flipping the weave.. it's like the flip that occurs when you roll the 3bt inversion into the 5bt inversion except it takes place outside the arms..
you can even learn it using an outside weave.. I've mentioned that like 3-4 times on here as well.. but I just tend to confuse people..
but like I was saying.. I think I follow sprials bit about turning the crossover.. so I let that stand as we see the same thing but say it different.. but getting the antispin for free, kinda like btb.. what is that supposed to mean? and it doesnt stay between the arms.. (unless oli is talking something different..) it stays under the arms.. ie the inside plane..

The one on the right is something arashi mentioned to me a while back but I can't get... it's basically turning the crossover point from in front of you down and then back up inside your arms so it's pointing the other way - the poi swap from left to right closest to you rather than at the furthest point away.
I think that this then gives you antispin for free, much like you get spinning BTB weaves.

Oli > The pisc is soooo nice
, I thing if you cross your arms close to wrist, let them be how they are and try to twist em ,make circle, between your arms you found it. It like you put not just one hand inside, but both in cross- over. Hoe ptat helps
it's basically turning the crossover point from in front of you down and then back up inside your arms
Jeah, thas nice description how to learn inversions. Try it without Poi.(It s like you put crossed hand from one side inside,make a twist and out:)
REV >
inside weave has an outside carry.. or something...
Exactly where, isnt it just how you enter, tell us more

do a clockwise watermill. turn around and do a clockwise watermill. turn between the inside parts of a watermill clockwise and anticlockwise without going outside except to carry between the two inside planes. the poi always come up between your arms and your body, but during the transitions the poi go down away from your body (when spinning forwards). that's what i call an inside weave, anyway... if you let the poi come up buzzsaw you can do a barrel roll type transition between the two inside planes.

the best description I can give.. is to start with outside weaves...
start standing normal.. doing a normal weave...
turn your torso to face left, while you are spinning in the right side plane.. and turn to face right when you are spinning in the left side plane.. this is still a normal weave, but you are always spinning behind you.. it teaches you 1- the hand position and 2- the flip..
remember what I said about the left inside plane being the right outside plane on the left side of the body... well all you have to do is keep pulling the motion above tigheter and tighter until you cross sides.. then you end up with an inside weave.. like tenticle and I have been talking about.. it has a carry between the two sides because you can't have both your hands on the left side (to make an inside plane) and both hands on the right side (to make an inside plane) at the same time.. so there has to ba aperiod of crossover where its spinning in the right spot but your arms arent there to define it..

Hot damn, Rev, we're finally talking the same language! I understand and agree with all of that.
Another good way to learn inside transitions, once you know where inside is, is to do a ant- clockwise wall plane three beat behind you, and then pull the poi across to inside in front of you for another two beats, before going to outside in front of you. it gets you used to transitioning to the inside... it isn't a transition as such, the poi are still spinning in the same direction (as far as your hands are concerned) when you come to inside in front, then when you change to the outside beats you do the transtion you'd expect from a reverse five beat (or a reverse four beat watermill really), that is it happens on the reverse side of the body if the going to inside happens on the forwards side. Once you can exit and enter inside plane where a normal weave transition should happen, turning between them ain't so hard... once you get that thing rev said about the inside in front and the outside behind being eqivalent there's a ton of stuff you can already do that works inside too almost straight away...

i sort of skimmed some of that and it looked right. here's my answer even though it may be redundant cause i'm going to bed soon and i can't go back and check all that.
the drawing shows the crossovers fine... if the "outside" beats were included in the picture it would make it look like an "M."
yes you can do the inside weave as a watermill w/ crossovers up and that's how i explained it on spherculism as a wall plane inside weave but now we have an ezample of the version in side planes (did i ever transpose those sperc. explanations to this thread?)

ok i just realized that me saying the drawing was right and the "m" thing will probably be misleading... it's true but not the simplest way to differentiate. there's a better way...
that being said i think i had an "eureka" moment after reading coleman's posts back on page 3 or something and i'll get back with a much better way to explain all this soon
thanks cole for being so smart

after my little eureka i think i see that soon they will make a lot more sense to you than they do to me...
once again our different way sof seeing things and how they translate in to language becomes both an obstacle and a way to expand the mind upon understanding.
oops i have to wake up to work in 105 degree heat in 2 hours
guess i should go to sleep i'll get back to this soon
the insides all have an same side/leading thing, inversions have an opp side/leading thing, it's a little more complicated than that but more soon

insides are even handed.. like corks... so everything covered in that thread that confused people.. applies to them..
inversions work off of the hands relationship to each other... which means you can enter either hand led inversion from anywhere.. all you have to do is wrap your mind around how the setup is.. which is why I stress using corks to understand insides.. once you have your cork inversiosns, every other inversion just falls into place.. there are only 4 main inversions.. each hand has one that leads over into or under into.. and you just have to see any setup during your spin as having one of those qualities.. imo.. but we know my opinion is pretty

yeah it's not quite that cut and dry, but there is an aspect of that to it... there's a few subdivisions that act differently... different versions of each entrance for each crossover position. like there's different kinds of inversions, there's different kinds of insides... i'm sure by the end of the thursday b4 uberpoi we'll have it diagrammed and filmed :rollsmiley:

the inside weave acts just like a corkscrew.. when you do the sideplane insides you can make them odd beat but they are naturally even beat.. because they occur in the midpoint.. so the cross hand isnt cross in that respect.. look at wallplanes done on the side.. like in the right front and the right rear wallplanes.. that is corss handed because the left hand is on its side in the front and crossed in the back... so when you do something in the middle.. (like an inside weave) its evenhanded.. just with a shorter arm from the one that's cross a point that's we're not using(move wise ) and thus not crosshanded.. the flip is like going from a bottom cork to a bottom of a cork.. to boot insides even work just like my evenhanded lead diagram..
remember: you need pretty much both arms to make insides.. even when only one poi is inside... (keep in mind what I refer to as insides doesnt include the half-insides we use to make buzzsaws. ) so sinec both arms are there.. its even handed..

lol..
we're doing the same thing.. we just arent' seeing the same thing.. I guess the most important thing to start with is how you are getting a crosshanded watermill... because turning between watermills is still just two watermills.. if you could point me i that direction, we might not have to wait..

moves that stay clockwise or anti clockwise with respect to the direction perpendicular to your shoulders are even handed. any move where you rotate so that one side of the move is clockwise and the other anticlockwise with respect to this direction is cross handed. thus, windmills, wall plane weaves, watermills in front of you, corks done windmill style are all even handed. turning windmills, wheel plane weaves, wheel plane insides, corks done by leaning one way then the other, are all cross handed.
turning between just the inside beats of a 2bt clockwise watermill and just the inside beats of an anticlockwise 2bt watermill is exactly the same as turning between a outside clockwise 2bt and an outside anti clockwise 2bt and getting an outside 3bt. which is how you get a normal wheel plane 3bt weave.
turning between anti clockwise and clockwise changes which hand is more forward/top/outside (depending on how you look at it) and as such acts like one degree of twist of the arms by changing the lead hand.
when you add two wheel plane 2bts together and get a 3, it is the turn that is swapping the lead. if you have no turn, such as in a wall plane weave, you only have one 2bt to play with and so there are two different ways to make a 3, depending on whether you swap the lead in front of you or behind. and when you add these two ways of doing the 3 together, you get a 4bt. Just like you'd expect from a windmill or watermill.
So i get my 3bt cross handed watermill the same way i get my 3bt cross handed weave.

turning between just the inside beats of a 2bt clockwise watermill and just the inside beats of an anticlockwise 2bt watermill is exactly the same as turning between a outside clockwise 2bt and an outside anti clockwise 2bt and getting an outside 3bt. which is how you get a normal wheel plane 3bt weave.
turning between anti clockwise and clockwise changes which hand is more forward/top/outside (depending on how you look at it) and as such acts like one degree of twist of the arms by changing the lead hand.
when you add two wheel plane 2bts together and get a 3, it is the turn that is swapping the lead. if you have no turn, such as in a wall plane weave, you only have one 2bt to play with and so there are two different ways to make a 3, depending on whether you swap the lead in front of you or behind. and when you add these two ways of doing the 3 together, you get a 4bt. Just like you'd expect from a windmill or watermill.
So i get my 3bt cross handed watermill the same way i get my 3bt cross handed weave.

I see what you mean.. the inside weave is crosshanded.. I wanted to say it was the exception but all my insides were evenhanded.. so I guess insides are.. but the inside weave isnt..
sorry..

now tell me that the side plane inside 5 beat spider (aka 2nd degree inside) isn't the funnest move ever

bah... the 6bt insides are what I think its funny... makes me laugh when I do it.. I don't know why.. I think its because muscle memory is telling my brain how goofy I look..
to me the 4 and 5bts feel all yummy.. one lets you roll from ones side to the other and the other just kind bouces it there and back.. like a good vodka it mixes with almost anything.. flowers, reels, pirouttes, whatever.. and then add frosty inversion topping and you get patterns that get thes fluid rolling patterns that I can only describe as WOOOSH.. as they roll by..
but mentioning the 6bt and inversions.. 3rd degree inversions are frickin' hard.. any advice you can give on those arashi? because I started by doing what I could and letting the tanlge roll out.. and I'm slowy moving the tanlge further down the string until hopefully it all rolls through kinda isolated, but not tanlged during the end.. do I need to do it like a 3bt inversion, or should I just be trying to keep my arm hooked so it exits with the extra twist at the wrists?

it's almost like a throw. you have to throw the wick it so it arcs through the inversion while your hands are crooked, then let it arc through, then unroll your arms right after the follwoing wick is thrown

Its like semi-iso. I dont do that anymore tho, i prefer letting them flow through.
Those 5bt's are funny though, they keep getting tangled in interesting positions
And Cole, i didn't know you could play guitar.

he's even quite good
aside: i've thoght about postig in this thread lots, as i'm convinced i'm doing a lot of the stuff you guys are talking about, but don't follow your terminology :aargh:
however, i will have cole and arashi as captives in my house this week, so plan to extract all knowledge and terminology then.
eep! just realised we could have a 'naming moves symposium' at uberpoi!

arashi- I have the toss for the lead poi... but tossing the second? hrmm.. I'm getting it to roll through pretty smooth.. its just award getting used to rolling a twist through the inversion.. because the whole scneario is like an outside inisde outside hyperloop.. only with my wrists twisting instead of the strings.. so when I come out I have that extra twist in my wrists to undo.. its just awkward keeping the wrist in the positions I need..
rob- you probably are.. imo most of this inversion stuff is pretty basic.. I mean we're getting back to reel, buzzasaw and 3bt weave level stuff.. but I am jealous.. I want cole and arashi to spend ONE Day at my house..

arashi- aha... you don't have to point your follow hand all funny.. you just push it across.. the lead hand does the funky isolating and rotations.. but after the inital arc the follow hand needs to be on the other side.. whihc is pretty
.. because it means the follow hand is on the lead side while its poi is still doing the following.. if nix is reading this.. maybe he can help relate it.. because its kinda like the 3bt antispin inversion.. the push through part at least. now if I can only get it forward..
