I believe given the hand movements that we are working within an ‘Bi-Pyramidal Octagon’ with the top at our head and the bottom at our feet and the other 8 points in the horizontal plane round our waist. However you could then rotate this 3D structure around by 90 degrees and have the top point straight in front of you, and then the octagon points are all around you in the wall plane.
Wow, i am on this video now making the view count only 388 views in June 2024, nearly 12 years later. It really goes to show 3 things, how niche 3D is, how difficult it is, and when you introduce these diagonal planes, you have now entered a niche within a niche! Plus really modern poi is in its infancy since it kicked off its renaissance in 2000-2002. 20 years is young. i am here for the diagonals planes after first seeing them demo’d 4 years by the 2009 burning man video ‘G vs Nexus’ and he opens with 3D diagonals but i have no idea what he’s doing but Im thinking I will learn to do that someday when l have built up enough poi knowledge……and now here i am watching this tutorial and its come full circle ⭕️ 🥳 Thank you Dave ! You have created such a wonderfully paced 3D cornerstone tutorial series. Grateful 🙏 💎
@@davestatikpoi, have you tried any other skiboards? I am considering purchasing either the Summit GroovN 106 or the Invertigos like you have. But I am really debating between the 2. I wish that there was a place here in Michigan that would allow you to demo them. Did you ever feel like the Invertigos were slightly too long there in spots at Boho and that a slightly shorter skiboard would have helped? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
@mattandbethboughan3 I mean, people rip trees with full size skis and boards, so its not like a slightly longer skiboard will be much of an impact on maneuverability, but the extra length/width gives a big boost to viability in powder. I've ridden them in up to 12ish inches, cant testify to deeper than that. My old shorties (99cm) couldn't handle it well.
Hey Dave! I don't know where you are and what you're doing now but bro. I just wanted to say THANK YOU so much for putting the time to show the world what flow arts is all about. When people get an actual skill no one these days takes credit for the people before them and thanks to you these videos you've uploaded partially saved my life because we all were put through serious mental health during covid and the truth is during the time I was a mechanical operator working hard through the late nights spending time just working alone. After I watched Marvel WHAT IF I was always fascinated by Dr.Stranges patterns when he was using those spells and said I wondered there was anything out there you can do to do with beautiful shapes and patterns. Than I ran into Poi and I immediately fell in love with it from there. I saw drex do the body tracing hybrid and I couldn't get it out of my head because saying I want to know everything there is to know about it and I ran into your whole body tracing series. Working my ass off in 50 degree weather conditions and hotter in the summers every break for half an hour from 4am to 430 am Monday to Friday because it was the only chance I got to do it and the job was super labourous and than weekends I was recovering from working so hard but I paid close to every detail you explained and trust me its 1000 times harder when you're alone and no one really understands what the hell you're doing. At first my co-workers would laugh what the hell are you doing because you work in a MANS field. Typical joes who just work. But as time progressed I covered your whole series and I've only been doing it for about 9 months covering poi but of course I'm a super fast learner from my previous background in breakdancing, tumbling, martial arts and weapons and more but you can say I'm just a bunch of talents kinda guy. But look who's laughing now! Haha But I hope you know that you changed my life bro. You really did and thank you for putting the time and your hard working craft to show us what humans are capable of. I came top 5 in the francophone games in africa for freestyle soccer and was a breakdancing champion here for 13 years and came top 5 with my crew in Korea so I know what kind of work and dedication it takes to try and figure these things out. I'm working on being all around now my strongest is of course tracers but I got all my antispin and inspin flower turns shapes and patterns now both ways and I plan on continue watching your other videos with wraps , hyperloops, tangles, and so fourth to continue the work but I just wanted to put it out there bro. THANK YOU . ALL THE WAY FROM TORONTO CANADA! 🔥🔥🔥 Hope you're doing well! 😎 ps. Pretty good swipes hahah!
Hey James! So, I saw this comment when you wrote it, but it felt like it deserved a more thoughtful response than others, so I waited until I was ready to deliver that, but as time passed I forgot where it was, and didn't know how to find it. I put the time in tonight finally found it after like an hour haha. Sorry it's taken me so long! Look, I was touched by this, and I dont know how to properly convey my appreciation, but it really meant a lot. I dont spin anymore so I dont really think about it often, but knowing that things I've done in the past have helped others in situations I know all too well really means something to me. Then and now, I am always happy to teach anyone something I know, because, as you appreciated, few people take a moment to honor the giants who's shoulders they stood on. I didn't make all this up out of thin air. I learned, for FREE, every building block I have. I never took a net profit from any festival who brought me out, as a PRINCIPAL. I didn't pay money to learn from the greats before me, I'm not going to profit off the work of those before me. In this community, I want to see knowledge for knowledge's sake, free sharing of that knowledge, and a general unity and respect for everyone in it. It's such a unique community, not just the art, but the people especially. We should help each other grow, and build off of each other. Anyway, to close, your comment meant a lot to me, and I waited this long until I was ready to say all this. I never forgot, and will never forget, how much this comment meant to me. Thank you.
Also, I've dabbled in a bit of breakdancing myself, never a champion, but I know that fuckin grind too. I was most interested in the powermoves, stopped my progression just shy of learning air flairs, but I was soo close lol. Eventually time gets to you. At 27ish my body really wasn't digging the demands of bboying ha. I had to stop. Poi, I just fell out of love with. All I have left is skiing.
Sorry I've been working alot and saw this now. No problem! Just thought you should know incase anyone else doesn't say anything. I get what you mean when you said you fell out of it. After winning alot in my city (toronto) I became bored and started learning other interesting things like juggling, freestyle soccer tricks and than now poi but just to show a bit of myself here's some links of me if you're interested. This was a few years back but you'll see there was definitely some passion. I always took everything I learned seriously. I'm 35 now and wierdly I can still do it all but mostly because I believe everything is mental and you never really lose something if you truly really love it. But hope you enjoy! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HCSGbm073Ms.html And ru-vid.com80DDILH99qQ I have better ones in my old hard drive archives but you get the point. Haha. I wasn't really a post your videos guy because back than people try to study you before a competition but around covid I recently decided I should get myself out there more. Life is short man and wanted something people could remember me by. But my goal in poi is to make the same impact as you somehow but I've just hit almost a year alone online so im planning on putting in all the hardwork and collect as many transitions as possible both ways, make it my own, and be strong all around like breakdancing which helped me learn really fast sticking to the same routines but so far its been great. Just juggling can be annoying. Not the same as juggling 3 ball or something lol Anyways wish you all the best in your skiing journey and btw looks super fun from your recent videos!! Hahah! Peace bro! You'll definitely see me in the future! A pleasure running into your page and again thank you! 😎 👊✊
Haha :) I have done this! Not exactly with the same movements, but the method is the same. It can get a bit boring. Actually a lot boring! So I went out hunting for tricks. I can now see how it is impeding my Flow now ... :( You are totally right when you say this kind of practice makes you better very fast. Its just 6 months :) Lets see:) Im gonna do a video response tomorrow. Im a bit ashamed - I reckon it wont look very well....ah well :) I will just have to learn. Thanks for posting this video! I hope I dont forget to post a progress video after 6 mounts. :D
Such a tease with the music snippets. Probably a lot to ask for you to update decade old videos with track lists, but maybe you know the last track in this video? I've been stagnant for the last few years so finally decided to learn 3D, I was so delighted to see you had a series after I learned body tracing from you 5 years ago :D
Dude... I'm am so incredibly grateful for these tutorials!! I've been trying to crack 3D stuff by watching others but never really fully understood it until now. You're connecting all the scattered pieces in my head like puzzle hahaha I'm so excited to keep drilling this! (also maybe these tutorials would be easier to find if you had the word "poi" in the titles? I found this through tracerammo's crash course video. I want more people to see this stuff!) Thanks again :):)
I need you to make a video of you doing the first thing over and over til I can figure out what's going on lol. So each poi gets one beat under their native armpit or are they both hitting a beat under both?
YES! because i got into poi... oh, years ago (before it was cool, i think), and i got stuck on freaking hip reels. i couldn't do those to save my life. and that's where i was stuck for YEARS. (um... i still can't do them...) also, my planes suck (yes, i'm looking at YOU, left hand!). i can do a butterfly okay, but now trying to learn thread the needle? noooo no no. it is a MESS. and flowers? mess. sloppy. sloppy mess. i will start this today! :)
I practiced in a military setting so we didnt have "belts" just levels, so Im afraid I have no frame of reference, but recall from karate that blue was a few belts under black, so if thats a similar scaling, thats cool. I was actually only incidentally at a BBJ gym, not practicing there. My combatives gym was covered in army shit.
Nah not like karate, blue is right after white, but takes about 2 years to get there, and it usually takes about 10 years to black in bjj. That's cool man! Imma go spin some more!
Fernando Plazola Odd thing to comment on my song lol. rather than the channel comments, but probably not man, unless you have a specific tutorial in mind that doesnt exist. I dont spin poi actively any more since my back injury. But could maybe do a special request if it hasnt been tutorialized yet.
Sorry for putting poi commentary on the song, good song by the way. A tutorial about body tracing antibrid you could do it would be great, mixed elements of body tracing that you are a master with antibrid.
Yes, I know that in your video of Body Tracing Poi Tutorial Series Episode 6: Linear Trace vs Flower, you explain about the idea, I would like if you can do it more in extension than flower. Additional the video Body Tracing Poi Tutorial Series Episode 5: Linear Tracers / Translating is blocking in my country, could you upload it again?
I mean, you cant get much more "Here's the proof'" than in photographic and video evidence, other than here he is in person, which obviously is something I can't do, but yea. Clear as day, there he is.
ShaftsOf Light I started a facebook page for my music "Biostatik". i only have one song up right now but there is more on the way. The song playing in this vid is called Red Cell. Its one of my oldest unfinished songs. one day Ill finish it. lol
