The Poi "I just learned a new advanced move / combo" thread

Ah.... So in effect, an anti-spun pendulum?

I think I get it now....

Something like this ?

or

1:22 - 1:31



Also someone shoud write down all the crazy moves from Axel's video
into a single thread..maybe I'll do.

Nah, not even close... His hands are still moving with the poi, the only difference is that he's putting a bit of isolation into it, or a bit of an extended cateye to create a line isolation.

The movement sister eleven is talking about is interesting to note, but I can't see it being used cleanly and effectively.

I'm not even convinced I'm doing it right, its a funny one.

I'm always sure to be proven wrong, though.

Blegh. Timing on this sucker is difficult....

Bleh, trying to learn wrist rolls in glowsticking. Making slow progress, but can't wait for the final product

my most recent things are;
3D 90* AS plane changes
BTB T's n C's
Double throw 360's (tho they're not nailed yet
No Etra Beat Throws with a whole host of variants

ummmm? and some other stuff =]

i got a watermill to orbital turn out to meltdown

Antispin meltdown. Something clicked in my brain today and I said to myself "you know, you're making this more complicated than it really is..." And I was right. Now I have an even cooler transition out of reel pirouettes into antispin flowers...

EDIT: Also hard direction UTA crossers and several other moves that clicked when I realized that UTA crossers were just part of a five beat archer's weave. Also a weird stall CAP thing and a float thingy that one of my spin jam homies came up with. And a poi enigma isolation, though the cord kind of ruins the effect; it's just the only contact move I know so far

just learned a meltdown turn into orbital then turn out back to meltdown

Throwing one poi from a 1 handed butterfly and catching hit with my left hand. I love throwing it like 30ft in the air!

My unit circle hybrids are really coming together! As long as they don't involve horizontal cat-eyes...

Edit: Including a cat eye vs. extension thread the needle. (Yes, I edit a lot. Figure it's better than posting three times in succession.)

I DID IT I DID IT I DID IT!!!!! My antispin flower turns are finally clean! I can't wait to see me do it on video. Actually I thik I'll take my camera outside and look

Shiny....

Re-learned opposite direction anti-spin reel turning.

Stalling from a split-same antispin flower into the same flower at a 90 degree angle. Turns out it's much easier stalling into the center of the flower instead of out at the top & bottom petals.

Forward and reverse three beat throwing weaves with no hand swaps and no-extra-beat throws. Also adapted a trivial rope dart trick: wrap the poi up around three fingers a couple of times and when I'm almost out of cord, point my hand in the direction of the poi's swing. Works better than most of the other shots I know.

Hmmm.... Not quite solid yet, but playing with a btb weave to one side (half a btb waistwrap), into meltdown, back into btb weave to one side (btb waist wrap) the other side, into crosser, into antispin flower. Feels sort of cool.

Nothing revolutionary, but thought I might as well put some of it out there.

Re-learned:

-hands opposite + Poi anti-spin
-hands parallel + Poi anti-spin
-hands opposite + Poi alternate

And wall plane truning, 360 turning with low and high turn reels.

Came up with this playing with carry overs. Sry for bad quality but I wanted to post a vid cuz I dont quite know how I would go about explaining it. Tell me what you think, its more or less the first actually technical trick I have come up with that looks cool.

Nice one! Looks like a quick transition from a stall carryover into a spin vs. antispin or iso vs. cat eye hybrid. I need to try that out...
