Just realized the other day. Never actually tried doing 5bt corkscrews Confused

So I spent a day in the garden just practicing everything I know and working on me planes etc. Then accomplished the 5bt corkscrew, then I conquered the 4bt same time TTN.

I'm |===| <=== that close to finishing Butterfly waistwraps, plus also close to finishing Isolated TTN's (splits and variants as well)

Same, i thought the corkscrew was either 2 or 4.

If your right then you could do a 3bt corkscrew?

If i could stand on a wall (horizontaly) |>-o then i guess you could do a 3 and 5. I'm so confused now!

I need one of those velcro walls now.

this baffled me for ages as i knew it was a 2bt but why o why could it not be 3bt'd? surely it can be? but the hand motion is for a 5bt but it only does 4 more crazyness from poi Smile

I wish I could corkscrew the opposite way though as I got some nice corkscrew wrap going on which changes the direction but I end up going back into a weave after :o(

Its really hurting my head thinking about it because I cannot 3bt weave anymore, the 5bt wrist crossover just takes over.

Well it's not poi, but I did manage to finally learn to juggle!
Not to much, just Cascade, RVR Cascade and Columns.
But I'm still proud! But don't worry, I won't be forsaking me sacred duty to the poi! So I'm half way to doing Isolated Crossers, do you guys all call them crossers, or do some of you refer to them as "Huggies" Always makes me think of the nappies brand Confused

Butterfly waistwrap and weave waistwrap done but it looks like my body has been through some twisty mangler.

Haha - huggies is a funny word.

Until you hit yourself in the face.

haha like a haiku...

well I think I got a waistwrap at least, my right arm goes round my front to the back and my left hand goes round the back to the front and visa verca. Ill reference this with DMP and bingo im not doing waistwraps although im not far off, i believe i am doing a meltdown *sweet*

I also seen butterflies/weaves done on one side of the body where one arm remains in front while the other goes round the back to perform a butterfly but at the side of your body. I dont know what thats called but thats my next achievement I think. I now believe the next achievement is a waistwrap butterfly and weave...

but hey meltdowns are cool :o)

OK Feely, WHERES THAT VID YOU PROMISED!?!? :P I wanna see all your new trix!

Lou i think the move you're describing is the butterfly waistwrap. Well good vid which makes it easier to understand here:
