Derek_Faughn DerekJF85 Registered: 27/05/08 Loc: Garland, TX	Originally Posted By: SpinnerofDetroit Now you got me curious, I want to take a pic of it. About how long should the lens be exposed because that's a lot to capture. Nvm, I just realized, it only feels like forever XD I am currently working on getting my btb butterfly looking solid, I could do btb thread the needle almost immediately, but the catch is! I can't get past more than a few beats, I've gotten up to about 5 or 6. And then I want bth thread the needle, this is just because just learning teaches you to greatly improve your planes making it look tighter and giving it that nice look of it bouncing up and down. Fo Show. Btw it capture more of the move with LEDs then it does with fire. _________________________ "Dream as you will live forever, and live as you will die today" James Dean

Dannyspin stranger Registered: 11/01/10 Loc: Balham, London	hi guys, I'm new to this. sounds like you guys are loving learning some new tricks. Me too. I've just been checking out some of the lesson videos on this site and didn't realise quite how much there is to learn! Actually I was wondering if anyone knows where in London the workshop is. I know it used to be at Spitalfield market on a Tuesday night but I heard it has moved to The Rag Factory. Does anyone know if this still happens as I'm thinking of going next week. Thanks, Dan

brenonfire413 Fire Spinner Exarch Registered: 22/12/09 Loc: Tulsa, OK, United States	Good job! Isn't the one handed butterfly so much fun? I just discovered, and I don't know the name of this trick, a butterfly turn maybe? Anyways you do the butterfly in one direction, when the poi swing outwards it allows you to pivot 180 and switch to the reverse. This also seems to work one handed. Having lots of fun with it! _________________________ "Are you sure it's safe to drink bleach?"

freeskierpj stranger Registered: 06/02/10 Loc: Hopkinton, MA	Finally got a 3 beat weave!!! Oh my god I've literally spent easily 15 hours just trying to do it and it always either was a 2 beat or got tangled but something just clicked this morning and I can't do it wrong (I can't do it well either but hey that's what practice is for )

brenonfire413 Fire Spinner Exarch Registered: 22/12/09 Loc: Tulsa, OK, United States	Fifteen hours? Thank god, I'm not the only person that spent forever on that trick! It's a really fun trick once you nail it and after that I find it to be kind of meditative because you can just keep going and rolling your arms back and forth! Now have fun with the reverse... _________________________ "Are you sure it's safe to drink bleach?"

freeskierpj stranger Registered: 06/02/10 Loc: Hopkinton, MA	Yea literally it's been about two weeks since I started and every day I've spent about an hour if not a little more working on just 3 beats simply because I couldn't get them and it was frustrating me (I tend to have some perfectionist tendencies but now that that's done it's on to perfecting it along with doing some windmills/butterflies because I still can't even start to wrap my head around reverse weaves

SpinnerofDetroit All High Dude, Ruler of What You Want Registered: 25/10/09 Loc: Trenton, MI, USA	Hey, the three beat weave took me three days I was the most uncoordinated man ever before poi And brenon, I think what you are talking about is my favorite named move.

Seaspray stranger by the day Registered: 08/07/09 Loc: At the Back of the North Wind	Reverse 3-beat weave can be easy to learn. If you turn to face the other direction while weaving, the poi kinda naturally go into reverse weave And yeah, it took me forever to work out 3-beat weave and more than a few ... unfortunate misses to the groin.. took me actually seeing someone do the trick in person to get it _________________________ Just a dancer in the dark

brenonfire413 Fire Spinner Exarch Registered: 22/12/09 Loc: Tulsa, OK, United States	SoD, you mean the butterfly twist thingie? Cool I didn't know the name, thanks! Now I'm having that level of frustration on the btb 3 beat. I've been trying a little bit every time I spin and still haven't had much progress. So far I've gotten really good at smacking the back of my calves or right in the back of my neck, but I think that's a different trick. Speaking of I'll give that another shot here in a few...

Sister Eleven owner of the group property Registered: 03/08/09 Loc: Seattle, WA	I got a lot of stuff down pretty fast, but the btb weave (and most other btb things) I'm still terrible at--and I started being able to do it like 3 months ago. It's really annoying, and I know skilled spinners who took almost a year to figure it out, so you wouldn't be alone. _________________________ p\|.q\|r:\|::s\|.s\|s:\|:.s\|q.\|:p\|s.\|.p\|s
