Poi Spinning Tutorial: The Atomic Weave (Advanced)

[peaceloveandpie]

XD i didn't know the moves i figured out even had names!

i just looked up poi and found this. now i just show it to my friends who im teaching, they understand this better.

[aeiouilikesexandcook]

Nice pants bro

[aniki91344]

My brain is having a hard time comprehending this... how does one do a weave with opposite spinning poi?

[meshunderlay]

@aniki91344 I hate to say it but... the way one does a weave with opposite spinning poi is... with practice. It might feel clunky and there may be some tangles at first, but it works.

[commandoe1]

does a 3-beat weave with one hand spinning forward and another spinning backward make an atomic weave ?

[meshunderlay]

@commandoe1 I don't beleive so. From what I understand "atomic" moves are just those in which the poi are at 90 degree angles to eachother instead of parallel. You can also do an atomic weave where one poi is vertical and one is horizontal.

I always call an opposite direction weave a "Split Time TTN weave", but there are so many names for different moves, the name isn't that important.

[MasterSplinterP1]

are there different atomic weaves?

[gyuck]

If I did get it, this move is pretty easy. Compared to other atomic weaves at least.

[inactivism]

You really do make the best tutorials. Multiple camera angles, slow motion, after affects, excellent editing, and a thorough explanation from someone who is experienced and articulate. Thanks so much for all the great posts.

I've been doing something similar just from getting bored and mixing planes together, though it's not this advanced. Thanks Nik :-D

[antoGpoi]

hey which is the songs name ? :D

[holyghostrad]

omg can i learn this atomic weave??.....it will take many hours i think!

[shonimus]

I think my head just exploded.

[poopydrawers1]

thats more confusing than a nigg3r at a rodeo

[AxelTiger]

like your beenie!

[KaslarProductions]

I can't get this version of atomic... I can do the other atomic version with one poi on a horizontal plain and the other vertical...... but not this right angle business..... I'll keep at it i guess.

[darksolsticelord]

Mind has been blown...

[headasspoi]

i learned this in 20 minutes thanks to this video

[thisismylife41]

okay so you do you atomic with an over under out. for your 3 beat.

i can do it with under over out

is this the same thing or am i just doint this move wrong?

[sk8erdude3098]

I need to learn how to do this!!! its awesome and would be an awesome trick to pull out the bag!!!

[lyonsablae]

So has anybody figured out how to do a 5 beat atomic weave in the same way that this 3 beat atomic weave is done? Not like the 5 beat atomic where one goes horizontal and one vertical.

[sephiroth87932]

are you able to turn with opposites?

[jweezee100]

the atomic weave i know is different my one is the one nickcann uses he has a vid on utube about it, just wondering if it's the same move

[Zeradin]

Yes. I want to learn the other one, it's much harder. I'm going to go try all day.

[x0k3llz0x]

Does this only work with sock poi? It looks like the poi "bounce" off eachother so it would wrap up with simple stringed poi?? Wouldn't it??

[itsroulettedares]

im still having a hard time with this one

[wwwondergirl]

This is defs a hard one. I will conquer it sooner or later.

[mary39806]

Oh snap, this looks difficult...

thanks for putting up this vid though, very helpful!

[recycledcereal]

please make a pendulum video!!

[TheLatexfrog]

Finally got this version of the atomic weave behind my back. Waiting for my flowlights and a real camera to film it tho...

[Rellizate]

I do atomic weave completly different. Like with one horizontal and one verticle.

[cornrules]

should be named Staight Edge Weave:D

[panchoavendano]

i would rather call it the imposible weave, i can do everything that he shows, but this

[ihasnuthing]

hahaha its insane isnt it!!!

[panchoavendano]

i got it, ferst try 4beat ttn ingoing and outgoing, then turning, then buterfly tangles, and once you got the tangle in ingoing and outgoing, you will get this easylier than you think

[ifuckmice]

umm ok, what you just said made my head explode

[juego16]

este vidoe ta chido ya q el vato le pega bn machien a los pois

y a otras madres

jejeje

te enseña de otros modos

ya me lo sabia pero asi es mas facil aprender

mis respeotos le da bn machin

domina bn esa arte

jeje e a prndido dos o tres trukillos de sus videos

[ZayXanProductions]

uhhh im not even gonna attempt it lol too hard XD and dude where u get those pants they look baggy awesome

[Insignia]

This is pretty concise nick. But once you go atomic, all of your planes start getting all bendy XD

I've been delving into atomics for a while now. Its and it continues to get weirder and weirder.

[p0spa]

I can't see the beauty in this trick.I'm sorry but I think it's stupid

[Insignia]

the beauty behind atomics is that allows for even more movement, and in my mind quicker transitions without stalls.

[TheLatexfrog]

There is more then one version of this technique there is also a horizontal and vertical combination. Atomic moves just implies different planes of spinning. Nick Cann has the other type shown in a video.

[mattostrokol]

WOW! thank you so much Nick! I got it first try after watching this! Ive been wondering about the mechanics of this move!

peace and love,

Matt

[CandiRhae00]

All I can say is riiiiiight. I have to say that I've knocked myself in the noggin/hips/butt/thighs so much trying new stuff that I had to crochet myself some poi head covers. It really helps lessen the (sometimes concussion causing) blows while you're still in that beginning/intermediate crossover stage. Thanks for the videos...I'll keep on trying! You keep on rocking!

[kootisandra]

I have a black eye tryiñgthis! not giving up quite yet though! tnak you for the instructions :D

[chuckadave]

Fantastic!,you make it look easy.
