Poi Lesson 33: Airwraps (Part 2)

Airwraps

This is the second part to my airwrap tutorial. Sorry about the abrupt ending, my camera ran out of memory. In case you're wondering, the other moves I showed you were hyperloops, turning airwraps, tangled corkskrews, and floorplane hyperloops.

Tutorials on all those moves coming soon! Stay tuned!

i've never seen you do an orbital in any of your videos. you ever look into those??

[NathanielEverist]

@pooyah0 Yeah, I love orbitals, I only really do them for performances though, because they look amazing. However, I don't tend to do them by myself, because I don't really find them very fun, and when I'm performing, more often than not there's nobody there to film me.

[NathanielEverist]

Ohhh Thanks man. I can do it now :D

[NathanielEverist]

Glad to hear it man. Keep it up.

If it's hitting your arms, you're probably connecting the poi too close to the handles, so they're too long from the point of rotation to make it through your arms. Try making the connection closer to the heads of the poi. Also, keep your elbows pointed out to the sides to make the gap for the poi to pass through as large as possible.

hey nath

umm do you have to move your arm or hand after the poi's exit the wrap because it hits my hand and arms sometimes after the wraps
