I think I was mistaken on my categorization of the 1.5 pattern from last week--nonetheless here are some interesting patterns that came from it. Plus: more buzzsaw flower patterns--this time with hands going split-time opposites, more hybrid practice, and patterns with both hands doing trifoil...

Last week I got a request from a guy who wanted to see me doing some actual spinning rather than just playing with concepts. Today was a bright and sunny day on the national mall, so I figured why not. Not a whole lot of really technical stuff here, but I had fun making it. Be back next week with...

Working my way through the four basic isolation vs. extension patterns--cateye patterns to come next. Revisiting turning with the polyrhythm trifoil hybrid, antispin buzzsaw flowers/fountains, and some sloppy attempts at hyperloops.

This is an older pattern that I'm fond of, and people have been asking for it. So here you go! It is a Flower Hybrid(Compound Circle Hybrid): Longarm VS trifoil (AKA 3-petal Antispin); Hands are together-time, poi are a butterfly polyrhythm of 1:2 Note: For those confused by 3 petals from 2...

A butterfly flower stall I was shown a couple weeks ago, plus more variations on the butterfly 1.5s--including a vertical variant. Also some of the techniques I'm using to practice antispin flowers. If anybody has any better exercises, let me know.

A couple variations on trifoil flower hybrids--turning with them and a same direction version Lucas showed me this weekend. Also using the atomic weave as a fountain to draw a square in wall plane.

Here is another Nevisoul variation: The timing and direction of the hands is the same, so this may feel similar(~ish) to classic hybrids.

For Nevisoul - isolation vs trifoil - hand follows head

Ask and you shall receive Thomas! In my opinion this pattern uses a unit circle hand path, is polyrhythmic, and is also a flower (or compound circle) hybrid. The hands are split-time same direction, so the hand driving the antispin trifoil is locked onto the head of the isolated poi. Yeah head...

Poi thingy! Goofy butterfly hybrid tutorial thing... one does extension while the other does a trifoil antispin flower, nowhere near as hard as it sounds, if you can thread the needle you can have a punt at it.
