Hybrids and non-hybrids in the continued exploration of tether manipulations and flowers…
Music: Lorde- “Still Sane”
** I use the ‘gunslinger wrist wrap’ I’ve been posting for a bout a year. It’s like jonathan’s gunslinger stuff, but it doesn’t reverse direction (maintains direction) and it uses a slide to get to the middle of the poi instead of his ‘over the back of the hand’ manip….
Enjoy!
After my last video Luke Carroll requested some trails-y footage of a flow jam. So I did.
Lots of sweet patterns, all with ‘trails’ or ‘tracers’

One hybrid is used to show 9 different planar relationships of the poi to the hands (With Glow Trails! Check it out!)
My favorites (in order) are @2:03, 1:25… okay the toroid at 0:50 looks sweet with the trails too.

2:43 –Flow Jam showing some flow with the concepts.
Toroid Hybrids. Bending one poi while antibending the other yields neat-o visuals and feels.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Toroidal antibend fountain (1:55)
Gunslinger to propellor to gunslinger (2:30)
Throws to poi-head SLAP and tether winding/unwinding around hand. (1:11+)
+Throws, Flows, and 3D
Samurai Flow: Wrapping and unwrapping the poi tether around the hand and wrist for an extra visual layer and awesome feeling. Twisting the body one segment at a time (often slowly) to move the poi (or move out of the way of the poi)
Flowing with Toroids, I didn’t know I was making funny faces:

Toroidal Zan’s Diamond (1:44)

Toroid Triquetra vs. Antibend-1 hybrid (5:16)
Box Antispin is used to transition:
from Quarter-Opp to Tog-Same and Split-Same
from Quarter-Same to Split-Opp and Tog-Opp
Also shown are:
Box Antispin vs. Extension.
Box Antispin vs. 2-petal Diagonal Prospin

Here’s some really nice throws:
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OscEC1tgrPg&w=420&h=315]
Underhand extension throws when the arm is crossed. (on the non-native side).
Overhand extension throws when the arm is open (on the native side).
Directly after throwing a standard toss, change the direction of the hand and perform a full circle of the arm before catching the poi.
It is quite natural to change timing-direction with these throws.
They look great and feel quite nice as well (winning combo, am I right?)
Look at the tiles as if you are looking in a mirror.
Imagine yourself inside a cube with 6 faces: up, down, left, right, front, and back
Imagine a line from your head to your feet connecting the top face and the bottom face. The Y-Axis is Yellow
Imagine a line running through your shoulders connecting the left and right face. Thats the X-axis. It’s blue.
Imagine a line running from in front of your heart to behind your back. It’s the Z-axis. It’s red.
A plane can be defined by 2 axes.
3 planes naturally separate the body into halves.
Wall plane: Splits the body into front half and back half. An arm or prop rotating around the front back axis will be moving in wall plane (green: combines up/down (yellow) and left/right (blue). Wall plane is one of two vertical planes.
Wheel plane: Splits the body into left half and right half. An arm or prop rotating around the left/right axis will be moving in wheel plane (orange: combines up/down axis (yellow) and front/back axis (red). Wheel plane is one of two vertical planes.
Floor plane: Splits the body in top half and bottom half. An arm or prop rotating around the up/down axis will be moving in floor plane (purple: combines front/back axis (red) and left/right axis (blue). Floor plane is the only horizontal plane (sometimes called ceiling plane or horizontal plane).

Shot this video at Owen Rose Garden in Eugene. Erika’s mom was in town so we went to smell the roses!
The Clubs are a style I found at Fire Drums and IgNight, combining lots of stuff into a dance and mime “Wind-Blown” image.
