學習 Beginners part 2 - Windmill

Thinking of this as a standing "corkscrew" totally messed me up. Think of it more as a split-time "chasing the sun". Maybe that will help

So is it basically an Alternate butterfly over your head with an extended beat?

maybe try with one hand first and think of doing a figure 8 with one loop in front of you and one loop behind so that they cross over above your head. add in the second Poi to chase it and move in split time. this move tends to look better if you keep your hands really close and move fast. doing this and the butterfly moves with Poi that are different colours (i.e. the left one is orange the other is green) looks really cool

i must look like the biggest crack up.. I cant watch anything swingin or coming towards my face so i close my eyes and squish my face up hehehe.. kinda works though coz i can feel it

"when you have nothing left to burn you have to set yourself on fire"

Wish there was a bigger pitcure maybe with some instructional sound I understand that by this point you should have a firm grasp of things but sometimes I watch one like this and then another with sound and slow motion and i can grasp it faster im like running inside looking and running outside trying for a few mins then back in Lol

I can do the corkscrew with no problem, but every time I try this one, I smack myself in the face (or the arms). Any tips?

So are corkscrew and windmill the same trick but with different body positions? i.e. with windmill, you stand up straight and with corkscrew you lean forward.

im cool with the whole corkscrew concept,i can do that,but my Poi keep on getting tangled up over my head

im mad,your mad,shes mad,hes mad,pers mad,zes mad,were ALL mad!

ack! i got it on my first try! and then i stopped... and now i can't do it without smacking myself in the head >.<

They go sooo faasst!! D:
