Based upon the toroids I uploaded the previous Monday (http://youtu.be/XA5d4yoS97w), here's a long how-to on how you can perform each of them and integrate these toroid triangles into your spinning.

Inspired by a recent photograph of some really gorgeous toroid triangles put together (https://s3.amazonaws.com/com.offerpop.datastore/276469/UhwaNA.png) I went on a little bit of a quest to put together a bunch of different toroid triangle orientations and found fun ways to integrate them into my spinning in surprising ways, including plane shifting and inversions.

Taking up a challenge from Kai McHaggerty after I posted my first video on a toroid triangle weave to come up with a version of this move wherein both hands are performing a toroid triangle, here it is with both hands performing two toroid triangles in the course of a weave. Fun challenge :)

Another attempt to merge together toroids with weaves and inversions--this one takes a simple two-beat weave and adds a toroid triangle to it.

A cool challenge popped up on the Tech Poi Group on Facebook about two weeks ago: the possibility of doing a triquetra hybrid that would incorporate the plane-bent triangle flower I've showed off now in a couple videos. David Foregger was kind enough to model it using his poi simulator and based on that I was able to sort out this pattern. The triangle here needs some cleaning up, but the gist of the move is definitely there. With the polishing I think this will be a really cool looking hybrid.
