That's right!

You can get an extra twist in your wrist before you switch hands. So say for example my right hand is about to go on top of the left.

it goes on top as normal, but, as your right arm slides down your left, keeping your arm on top, slide your right wrist under your left. It's fairly twisty but you can get extra beats this way into your TTN!

Worked on my 4bt windmill some more.
Can now do a really smooth 5bt fountain with a 4bt windmill.
Too bad I can only weave 2bt's around my body at the bottom part of the fountain though.

hey sarel if you wana learn three beats

try putting down one poi then hold out your empty hand so your arms out straight then spin one above one below then bring it back over then once you can do that spin it above and bring your bottom arm (the empty one) over the top of the arm thats spinning and voila once you can do that just add in the second poiand it should come really easily
