ok trying to get my head around how many different ways this move can be done?

is it

forward to left

forward to right

reverse to left

reverse to right

times 2 because each hand can do either move? or do some of these become duplicates?

so my final answer is 8?

[AlienJon]

Just 4 basic ones (excluding inswung variants). For each of the 4 you list, it implies the other hands role. Another way to do the math is there are 2 ways your hands can move in split-opposite (ie over hand or underhand) X 2 ways your poi could be rotating (clockwise or anti-clockwise).

If you change the "phase" of the poi in this pattern you can get another split-time variant, and 2 more together time variants... but those look distinctly different, so I may put them up as such.

Are you doing this move in a normal flower style(at your sides), or spinning the poi in front of you on a wallplane(like a mercedes)?

Either way it's a sweet pattern.

[AlienJon]

The hands are moving split - opposite, so the natural way to do this is in wall-plane, like a Mercedes. Your arms don't really work the other way.

i think i can see it @_@. rawr i'll steal this from you :)

[AlienJon]

No need to steel, the patterns are already inherent in our physical reality... just gotta discover them... they be open source!

Have fun with this stuff!

4 petal diamond style vs 2 petal inspin flower i use this alot :)

[Elemensce]

In the wall plane, you have one arm doing a 2 petal in-spin flower, and the other doing a 4 petal anti-spin flower and having the hands meet the way a split-time butterfly would.

is there a video clip of someone doing this one...im having a hard time grasping what the heck im trying to do

[MoJo51289]

Nice

[Meelosapiens]

It is very old idea.... Goofy or ASS.... But in image it looks so sweet)))

I used to do this as a variation of the buzzsaw fountain, where one arm would antispin and the other would go regular, one high, one low to turn to the buzzsaw on the opposite side, that's another way you could think about executing this pattern, or is what I'm talking about different?
