This space is for all those funksters busy improving their technique by learning new moves - made-up or traditional.
Tell us all about it! We love hearing about our fellow poiers/staffies/misc. toyers succeeding with new things
It's just hard to keep up with it all sometimes, so if we keep it together you'll be certain to get a little feedback.
here a pat on the back in advance from me

3 and 4 beat BTB wall plane weaves. And maybe 5, but boy did myself and YT confuse ourselves last night trying to work out whether or not we had it
And I also worked out exactly where each poi goes during butterfly hyperloops. So now I've got every side and direction from forwards and am getting there on reverse

insides and inversions,
well didn't quite get the, just got explained what they actually are. But insides are gorgeous, much linkage with isolated weaves me believe
got bored and got the 7b forward weave with finger twists. surprisingly easy as i've never tried it b4. next step 9 beats, just for s**ts and giggles

butterfly with 1 poi spinning twice as fast as the other.

Doesn't really have a name, but there's loads of stuff you can do like this e.g. a 1:2 speed ratio weave.

Reverse butterfly hyperloops, and using a bottom entry and when to use a top entry to bf hyperloops. I can turn most directions using most types now.
Also just about starting to get split-time BF airwraps. They're messy, but I can now enter and exit them at last.

After intensive 6-7 hours of practise, and hundreds and hundreds tennis ball hits to legs, i finally got btb weave going smoothly. Now my legs hurt more than ever. Never again. Or maybe tomorrow.

Not so much a new move per se, but I had a lovely conceptual breakthrough last night that will help with my hyperloops no end. So I've managed to get my planes when exiting a lot cleaner - I can properly transition from left side wall plane buzzsaw to right hand side wall plane buzzsaw via BF hyperloops nice in all directions and transitions now.

A couple of days ago i was trying to isolate the 3b weave btb and stumbled into a btb buzzsaw hyperloop. So yesterday i went out with a mission and can now get out of about 90% of them. weeee!!

BTB waist wrap 2 and 3 spins up front, and continuous BTB weave turns in both directions. All of a sudden it just clicked.
