Docfunkalot 6 Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 I understand that everyone learns and progresses at their own pace, but what move did you personally feel like you just spent too much time learning? I'm trying to get down waist wraps right now, but it made me realize that I have not learned how to do a reverse two beat weave yet haha. Most things weave related, I felt like I took a while to learn. I couldn't get the normal 3 beat or 2 beat weave for what felt like a long time to me. All I did was stand still and do continuous arm wraps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xbadkaraokex 25 Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 orbitals and corkscrews corckscrews took me like 4 hours to learn when i could already do weaves and corssers orbitals took me over a year i wanna say, and i can still only do them out of catch links lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JaredHimself 18 Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 straight jackets, air wraps, and wall plane flowers. 3 years of practicing and i can still only land a straight jacket maybe once ever 50 tries. air wraps just took me alot of diligence. i always ended up accidentally doing orbitals with wallplane flowers it was just difficult to get them to not constantly get tangled. was all alot of fun though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Adrillf 40 Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Btb weave. Out of every move that I've ever learned that was the one that gave me the most issues when learning. I beat myself silly trying to learn btb weave. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xXEmoboyXx 4 Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Straight jackets and UTL crossers. I swear I spent countless hours and bruises attempting these >< Quote Link to post Share on other sites
suzume 47 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 basic huggy crossers took me two weeks to learn plus an additional week to get them clean There's alot of butterfly based stuff I still havent bothered learning xP and being able to do continuous air wraps took me years to finally understand hahaa went back and learned waist wraps last week and I'm just now going back to learn more pendulums and .5 swings but that's because when they were super popular I didn't want to look like everyone else anyone else choose NOT to learn a move because it was the popular move atm?

kemicalU4ia 6 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 ^right on. Or ill do a move, then show my stringer friends, then they put it in every combo they do..i usually wont touch that move for a couple months..then throw it back at them with a little twist to it.

bukklee 21 Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 I still can't do airwraps. I stayed away from onehand for way too long for that reason. I've started in the last year, throwing it in here & there, but it's never been a focus of mine. That may change. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Docfunkalot 6 Posted May 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Btb weave. Out of every move that I've ever learned that was the one that gave me the most issues when learning. I beat myself silly trying to learn btb weave. I tried learning that a while ago... that was the first move that I actually got pretty frustrated about. I still haven't actually learned it or gotten it down yet, I gave up after my calves got bruised. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bukklee 21 Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 THIS!!!! I've been wanting to do this ever since I started. I saw it in a video back in '06 from Will. I could never do it until tonight. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Noqturnal 35 Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Still can't do straightjackets after 2+ years of stringing... Not for lack of effort either. Lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WaterUnheard 0 Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Isolations for sure! I'm still trying to learn them, I've spent a total of two weeks in practicing and I can still barely get the hang of it. Really frustrating but it will be worth it when I get them down. Another one would be orbitals, it took be about 3 and a half days to get the move down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
melvenorc12 24 Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 THIS!!!! I've been wanting to do this ever since I started. I saw it in a video back in '06 from Will. I could never do it until tonight. Man I remember that move being all the rage! haha. Still looks so cool. Congrats on learning it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hollow666 2 Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 THIS!!!! I've been wanting to do this ever since I started. I saw it in a video back in '06 from Will. I could never do it until tonight. This one was pretty tricky it did take a while for me to to figure out for some reason. I would always mess up going back with the crossed over hand back to its original side because my mind would try to put it in front on the return instead of the back where it was supposed to go if that makes sense. Once I figured that little bit out they were super easy. Continuous airwraps were a pia as well. My pain was that I learned orbitals before them so I would always end up doing them instead. Finally sat down for a week and practiced nothing but airwraps with a pair of sock poi and now they are second nature. Still cant do them very well at different places of the body though like over the head and under the leg. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AaronKung 0 Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 For me, I would have to say learning the btb weave took a good long week to learn. I'm still trying to learn the btb turns and reverse weave. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
