hehe the arm movments are what get you into trouble at the start, but if you keep slight tension on the nexus as they spin , then as the speed starts to die down sleightly upward tug your leading hand** ,which in turn powers the inf hype, its a weird feeling to commit to muscle memory but as with every other poi move it just takes some time, dedication and practice Smile...

**leading hand - e.g) if you enter your hyperloop from your right then your right is the leading hand
