Posted: It's a 3bt weave in wall plane with one poi spinning long-arm- Thomas is then turning it across hiw body (as you can with a 3 bt weave in wall plane).
I prefer Cyrille's description tbh

Posted: I've heard it called an Archers weave. But it looks like he's doing antispin fountain variation of it.
You play with fire, You're going to get burned.

Posted: The term Archer weave is superfluous terminology for a movement that is actually a ridiculously easy variation of the 3 beat weave.
It should be noted that in order to do the fountain properly it should be done in wall planes, not wheel planes.
Meow meow. I am done now.

Posted: It's a variation on the LA/SA Anti-spin fountain... (Variation as it has extra beats at the 3 and 9 o'clock stages)

Posted: Yeah, this is what I hear people refer to as an "archer." Foundationaly it means that one of your arms is at your shoulder (holding the arrow) and the other arm is extended (holding the bow).
Our beloved Nevisoul there is doing archer weave fountains which is the same hand pattern as any three beat weave fountain (over-under-back whatever sort of a deal moving in a big circle). It looks really pretty anti-spin.
Play with the points at which you switch which arm is extended. It could be that one arm remains extended for the whole fountain, or they switch ever half or every quarter. Nevisoul goes off on the variations with that. The first person I ever saw do this was a jedi from the east cost named Jaero and he had a fantastic way of extending both his arms and intertwining his wrists a little before pulling the arrow down. I think Ms. Temple of Poi Glitter Girl Isa has another demonstration of this somewhere.

Posted: I think DyamiTK has the idea, at a certain point moves start just combining other moves and loose the ability to have one simple name.
Don't mind me, just passing through.
