reverse/ 3-beat reverse weave with hoops

Today is supposed to be the last real warm, nice one 'til it gets more wintry around here and thought I would take the opportunity to make a little tutorial on the 3-beat reverse weave. The beginning goes over the regular, 2-beat weave & then I go into the 3-beat. I'm not sure if this approach is most effective in teaching the move, so let me know if it's useful!
P.S. the music is by Duncan Beattie, a song entitled "sevenhunderedbeats". I found it through the Youtube AudioSwap...in the acoustic section! Kind of a fun soundscape!

oh... how often did i try this with poi, and how often did i hit my face with them until i got it?

at least, now it works^^ have to get some hoops, too... seems like really many moves from poi could be done with hoops, and maybe its possible the other  way round, too.

did you try a turn from reverse 3 beat weave to forward and back to reverse? i dont know if it works with hoops, its really fun with poi. you can just go round and round and round, and the poi/hoops fly around

Yeah, it can be painful learning with hoops too... and lots of running after them! :)

Thanks for the suggestion about turning between 3 beat weaves! I had done that with regular weaves, but hadn't tried with the 3 beat weaves. It is a fun challenge! My arms are getting sore though....

Hey totallycrunchy & Suibom,

Thanks for the replies, glad it may be of help! I watched Barry's video again & he does something slightly different than me as the hoop crosses over....so hopefully I am even doing it right in the video!! ?

Sui, you are magic with the fire poi, I am just learning to spin them so thanks for the inspiration!

Thanks for the feedback on the video, all! I am glad it seems to be helpful! It took SO long to teach myself that I thought it'd be nice to try and help other hoopers avoid the time & frustration I wasted on figuring it out mostly on my own! :-) But I couldn't have figured it out if it weren't for Barry Clements video, "More poi style hooping". Thanks, Barry!

Any suggestions on how I can Stop Flipping my Hand Over on the opposite side where the 3rd beat happens? ARRRRGH! I get a few sets out and then I regress to the 'palm down' position. It only seems to happen with my non-dominant hand (:-/ of course). I've practiced over & over without the second hoop to load the data into my brain... then 'poof' it's gone.
