poiboi07 posted another sweet tech blog and I'm cribbing the first trick shamelessly from him. It's a pendulum vs. CAP hybrid that one then uses to perform a Yuta-style horizontal stall around either in a complete circle or 180 degrees. I'm finding it's a fun way to do an almost weave style turn back and forth and have added a vertical stall shift to the mix, making it an easy move to switch around in all three planes. Next, having insulted the hyperloop gods a couple weeks ago, here is a better version (though still sloppy) of the hyperloop stall I mentioned, along with a type of hyperloop turn that seems to have a better rate of success for reaching the exit than the standard turn to the other side. Finally, Alien Jon introduced a concept to me a few weeks ago of thinking of poi transitions as going between loops and arcs and as hard as I've been resisting the idea, I'm coming around now. Here are the basic concepts demonstrated and hopefully I'll have time over the holidays to map out their relationships more fully...unless Jon beats me to it *hint hint* ;)
