The Poi 4 Beat Fountain You've Never Seen!

[@bluetiger435]

The message you end with is really extremely valuable. Many of my most rewarding and exciting moments as I learn to spin is exploring the moves as I learn and discovering new 'depths' and dimensions to tricks organically, and for me the inspin watermill 4-beat weave you show off here was one of them!! :). Definitely gonna have to try and master the antispin variations now too

This really touched some stuff I learned back with my 5 beat weaves and footwork. Thanks for the brain tickle

This is an amazing video thank you for this tutorial on 4 beat fountains. This video is out of the world.

[@LeighDarilek]

Excellent explanations and demonstrations. ❤

Love everything about this. Nick Woolsey's video helped me unlock fountains, stoked to see this watermill variant. It's like an inversion of that rhythm and makes my brain go brrr. Thank you!

I use all these for transitions. One of my favourite waist wraps moves is to open my arms either by the sane beats or remove one. I basically just do an extended weave. I teach this too people as it really opens you up too many flower transitions even into isolation moves. It would be great to see your take on this

[@sarahhoffbauer740]

Loving that white backdrop there! It makes following the poi a lot easier somehow!

[@DrexFactor]

Thank you! Getting a lot of compliments on this new studio setup. I'll make sure to keep it around.

It feels like the antispin version of first 4b looks strange. Gonna think about it

[@Kaiasky]

Obsessed with how the watermill version looks. Would love to see if there's transitions between the inspin/antispin ones, it feels like they should work like flowers but doesn't that make one of the transition points during the windmill?

[@DrexFactor]

Short answer is that it depends. Flowers are easy to go back and forth with because there are rarely points when the hands have a degree of twist in them and thus are rarely in each other's way. By definition once we add weaves to the mixture, this becomes a problem as whenever you have a degree of twist, you have to untwist it to free up movement once again. The easiest spot to do the direction shift would probably be far out to either side. Because you have to switch which hand is leading going through the reels in antispin vs inspin, it would be awkward to make the switch there. In theory you could pull it off mid-waistwrap, though.

thx Drax, great video about Nick, btw. keep up!

[@christinas5854]

I have a question: when (according to Nick Woolsey) the inspin 4 beat fountain can make a 6 petal inspin flower, how many petals does the antispin version have and in how far does the shape differ when you do the watermill instead?

[@ddpvk6746]

Crap there are so many fountains!! Im dying to go home right now and figure out the watermill one! I thought the windmill on top version was the only version lol (I did learn it from Nick Woolsey though)..watching it again still mindblown

[@kevanwang7648]

Good god dude did you get a new camera or something? This video quality is amazing.

[@DrexFactor]

Same cameras, just different settings, lighting, and studio setup. Glad that you like the results, though! I'll keep using them. ☺

Ok this might be crazy but can you add two more types by making them butterflies, an upward butterfly and a downward butterfly 🤔🤔🤯!!!

Trendy and "woke" eh? It takes all kinds to make a world. Journey well.
