Poi Spinning: Why do 3 poi circles makes 4-loop antispin and 2-loop inspin?

Advanced poi flower tutorial: Learn how 3 poi circles makes 4-antispin petals, or 2 inspins

[@asqwert2121]

These are by far the best poi tutorials ever

[@bidaubadeadieu]

In my opinion, one of your best videos in a while, these animations really help me understand what's going on in your hybrids, so a big thanks to all of those who helped you with it.

[@gdon07]

Beautifully shot. Beautifully explained. Beautifully presented. Thank you 🙏

[@azeroeu7918]

This really helped me to understand flowers more, Thank you

[@Terry-Adams]

Amazing as always. You are just one of the most graceful humans on the earth I think. I can just watch you spinning for hours.

[@quinxx12]

Genious! As someone who just found out about Pois, I feel like this information is a huge spoiler, but I can live with it ^^

[@kylehallgarth2826]

I'm loving these new videos Nick! Keep it up! Adding the graphics to it real help you visualize what you're trying to say. Good job man.

[@kittykerosene]

You have such a fantastic way of breaking things down -- really helps to 'get' the underlying patterns. Thank you!

[@ikigaiWellnessLLC]

I really appreciated the graphics on the video. I have yet to track the poi, in-spin vs anti-spin. It helps that you have great Poi Fu! I saw a video of yours mentioning that the other day.

[@strugs]

Your videos are excellent man.

[@ZapataStephen]

been doing your videos for years and learning flowers has been a challenge and this helps explain a lot for me XD

[@ydojph]

This is literally the most helpful poi video i have ever seen!!!

[@zsoltibitter8761]

I cant decide which is more amazing- the tutorial or the background :D

[@playpoivideos]

Definitely one of the best places I've shot a video :)

[@AliasWalen]

@@playpoivideos where is it?

[@Terry-Adams]

Thanks this was awesome. I am alway s amazed how graceful you flow

[@arthurp3272]

nice one keep em coming bro may the flow be with you

[@paulloro241]

thank you nick

[@zizimugen4470]

Well of course that's how it works. I never considered this before, but it's so simple to understand by how you said it! Thanks!

[@PierreUsedToPost]

I make sense of it by thinking about the relative spin between your poi circle and your arm circle. If your arm does one circle clockwise (+1) while your poi does 3 circles counter-clockwise (-3) then the relative spin between them is |(-3) - (+1)| = 4 relative circles. If you imagine the circles rolling on a flat line, the arm circle rolls 1 unit to the right while the poi circle rolls 3 units to the left, the final distance between the circles is 4 units. Same works for inspin, (+1) arm spin and (+3) poi spin: |(+3) - (+1)| = 2 relative circles (or petals) I think this is a more powerful way of thinking than the generally accepted rule of thumb where antispin is the number of petals -1 and inspin is the number of petals +1. This accounts for patterns like the antispin pentagram which has a spin relationship of (-2):(+3) or 5 relative circles

thank you

[@danielaal9550]

nice setting from atitlan lake

[@solarmoons38]

yeahhh very good lesson thank you for visit my country i am living here in guatemala and a like so much to visit the beatiful and magic lake atitlan thanks and namaste

[@rahulkumarrajoriya8515]

Loved it

Well explained, thank you :-)

[@DarthTwilight]

Fourier series.... that's what this reminds me of. well, I mean it is higher order linear motion so... anyway, how did you manage to get this animation? I want to learn to program stuff like this. that's really freaking cool.

[@marikrm5554]

Hi. Where can I find a program where I can modulate the motion of the go? Where to find and how to do what is shown in the first seconds?

[@playpoivideos]

I hired a friend to make those animations. I think he used Blender. He just sent me the animations and I used Final Cut Pro to layer them together.

[@marikrm5554]

​@@playpoivideos Got it. Thank you! I just remember that somewhere on the internet there was a program to modulate these movements.

[@RahelGroo]

hi :) thank you very much for these really helpful videos! further I have two additional places for the poi community map. both places are in turkey: 1. Ankara, middle East technical university. they also have a facebook group. 2. Çadır in İstanbul, Kadıköy. İ was searching for places in turkey too long, so maybe they could be very useful on your map :) best wishes

[@vibrantmonkey7469]

Complicated move but tha animation overlap was dope!!

[@BuckyDK]

How are you not pissing yourself out of fear for that ledge? holy shit dude....

[@arinavogelbacher7262]

can't believe I actually got this :-D

[@buddha9267]

Thanks for being awsome

[@mrs_kyoote1387]

I must be dumb I still don't get it. lol. I haven't started though... so maybe that's why

[@jasminemurdock5776]

i'm even more confused now
