...So I was just wandering around youtube looking for some new moves to play with and I came across this.

At first I thought "great, a drunk doing butterflys badly" but it looks like quite a nice move if you can acomplish it both sides, looks almost like a buterfly crosser.

I have been trying to do almost the same thing but on a single side at a time i.e the left arm goes across over the right shoulder but the right arm goes low behind the back, visa versa on the opposite side, creating a butterfly wing effect.

Im gonna have a practice a little later, they look quite funky and might help with my future weave crossers.

Still trying to do BTBW and am getting close, I understand the planes and can change from a forwards weave to a backwards BTB, just got to work on not hitting myself so much. Also can get into fw & bw buzzsaws from weaves. I really love the transitions from move to move and have been stuck with buzzsaws for ages because I didnt see how you could get in and out, now I see and the world is at peace...OMMMMMMM!!
