@ ian i use chains but i prefer the play you get from worn in sock poi but i do use them just to switch it up or in the weeks before a fire performance. ive been really hoping i could make it to fire drums but its looking more and more likely that i wont be able to afford it. but i might just end up applying for need based tickets and hitchhiking out as long as i can get back here in time for wildfire. but for now im just keeping my fingers crossed
the move schmarzech JoffJk and sirspinalot420 i think are referencing are base on the same move but just spliced up a bit. the move was the product of my explorations on the different varients on the horizontal iso extension hybrid weave. i found that because of the difficulty involved in doing long arm in floor plane that the cleanest way to extend it would be through using the ceiling plane. so by make the hand that was isolated do a sort of inversion into the negative space of my arms
allowing you to continue the hybrid almost indefinitely( this requires you to spin). the only catch is that because the poi is isolating on the horizontal plane it will tend to stall so you have to compensate and swing it out using the motion of your body. 1:25 is a good example of it done in both directions in a stall switch pattern. this is a relatively new move but im also kinda doing them sloppy in the vid and i hope to put up a better example. thanks for commenting
i really loved the werlliy birt where one head is at your chest wile the other crosses side to side spining over your head, mad fun to watch, it made me smile the whole time.....i think one was at 1:02? maybe
thanks for all the positive feedback! if anybody sees any particular move or concept they want me to do a tut on just give me a description of the move and a time stamp and you'll help me out allot.
@recklesme I don't think I can timestamp it, but you do it fairly often--looks like an isolated pendulum underneath a ceiling plane spin. I would love to see some more ideas on how you'd use it and go into/out of it. (It's always weird to me when I can tell what someone is doing, but not how they got to doing it).
you hand to eye coordination is incredible...how you do that ill never know?
lots an lots of acid an mushrooms i suppose...

A real breath of fresh air =)

wicked... the plane breaks work really well with all the plane bending. I'm curious if you ever work with chains.
Any chance you'll make it out to Fire Drums?

the swing around your head at 1.25 is awesome and what ever is going on around 3.30 - 3.40 ish is insane serious crazyness :)
