yeah me, i was doing backwards butterfly and thought hmmm would it work and it does Very Happy . yeah new move for me looks slightly odd though needs a bit o work-as in i am flayling madly for a minute until it falls into place.....

can anyone suggest any more moves that are quite simple to learn, i have given up with btb weave i am using the reason, theres to much of me and my arms are to short thats why i cant do it Very Angry .. Any suggestions as i am stuck in a rut.....

Shoulder / hip reels are really helpful to learn, try linking them if you already know them, looks pretty cool and is great for linking moves Smile

...who keeps telling you that! BtB Crossers are awesome! But then again so are BtB Weaves...But! Both of them mixed together and you got yourself one awesome combination! Then mix that with BtB Waist wraps and you got an even more awesome combination! Then switch to doing it in front rather than behind!

Crazy people I say! But mind you everyone has their own styles I guess!
Was just trying to do BtB Crossers last night...their actually pretty difficult if your limbs aren't dislocated! Hehe:P That and my room is a bit cramped >.<'

hahaha btb crossers ay? vortex is if i can bend myself so can you cos im a big fatty Wink

but i think btb crossers are not a good way to learn btb weave really i dont see how it would anyway, have you seen a btb cocoon? its the most you can stretch with a crosser its madness!

yeah but i is shorter then you, so my fatness is more compressed.....(its a good excuse and i am sticking to it )

but yeah i will try out some of the things you nice people suggested. although the one you just mentioned sounds a little painful to me felix, tho it could be fun to see how many times i hit myself in the head.
