Hyperloop transitions without using wraps
I do some hyperloops to get from a weave to a butterfly but cant figure out how to go between butterfly, weave and corkscrew (in any combination) without using wraps. Wraps look good but it would be nice to know some 'clean' transition moves. 
What can I do to get the right idea?

Hyperloop transitions without using wraps
it depends on whether you are using a twist or a tangle. I mean they use the same general concept, but the application is different. Tangles are easier. If you can infinite tangle, then you can plane change your tangles. Plane changes are just simultaneous direction changes, so if you do it one at a time then you'll get the desired change from bf to sd or sd to bf..
for instance.. start with a fwd tangle.. turn your torso to the right 90 degrees so that the poi are wallplane. as the right poi begins its up swing, you will need to turn it into the bottom of a cork (Clockwise spin), then pull it into a CW wallspin.. This leaves you in a rev bf tangle..
its a strange motion. I recommend starting with a stall and working your way up. let the right poi stall, and pull it up into the bf.. once you have that down comfortably, the flow of the plane changes will come more naturally, because you will spin through the stall. If that makes any sense.

I didnt get much of that to be honest, but you made me put som thought into it about turning and iI figured out 3 new transitions. Been practicing most of the night
1. I have forgotten about this move but it came back. This one is in wallplane from a bf to a fw. Do a regular bf and tangle them using a bit more speed with the left hand. Then bring the hands and the tangle behind the back on the left side, while moving the left hand to stand over the right hand, and untangle into the weave. What happens is that the left poi will wrap around the other chain at the middle and do a small loop to change direction while the right poi continues the bf motion.
2. This goes from any cs to a bf. When the cs is beneath the hands, in wallplane, tangle them 1 beat, bring the tangle over the hands and gently release them into a forward bf. It's like an airwrap that are pulled to a forward bf when the tangle are released. It can be done with more than one beat but I cant do that yet.
3. From cs to bf in wallplane with a 180 degree turn. Tangle the pois from under the hands to a cs bussaw tangle. Then bring the tangle over the head while turning 180 degrees. And after any even number beats gently release the pois over the hands a forward bf.
It's hard to explain this.

(I wrote a lot here but realized it probably wouldn't help)
Let me start by saying the turn that I mentioned was to get you in the right wallplane position for the pattern I was going to describe. It's not really a part of the pattern. Turns are quite helpful in getting in the right positions.
about 2:49 in back in the swing of things video, I use an inversion to go into a butterfly. It uses the motion I was talking about above because a tangle is just an inversion. Unfortunately, you can't see it well things to youtube and the camera angle. It comes out looking more like a stall despite the fact that its still spinning. This is mainly because the circle it spins is really small, like a flower petal or an isolation close to the head. I won't go to deep here because it requires a long tangent about stalls, isolations, and a concept I call 'spun stalls'.
Now, the above paragraph refers to using an inversion or tangle. You could alternatively use a motion more like a corner or box weave. Do weave where each plane meets at a 90 degree rather than 180.. L <- like that with crossover being the corner. its the same principle that you use when you go straight from a weave into a corkscrew, Like the left side of a fwd weave straight into the CCW bottom of a cork.
You can also use the same motion that you use going from a corkscrew into a bf. For example the CW bottom of a cork allows you to pull the poi into a fwd wallplane bf. This latter pattern uses each poi making a subtle change in the opposite direction. You pull the left poi into the bf when its closest to you at the bottom, and you pull the right poi into the bf when its farthest from you at the bottom.
All of these refer to untangled patterns (because its easier to follow what I'm talking about that way) but they apply to twists and tangles as well. The key is to have good control ofy our poi in your twist or tangle.. Most people just let the poi spin when linked, rather than working on controlling the poi through the link. That's why I said if you can infinite tangle and whatnot, you should be able to make these transitions pretty easily.
One final note, stalls are important to all plane changes. We don't realize it most of the time because we are 'spinning through the stall.' Remember, you can stall from anywhere and exit the stall to anywhere smoothly (apart from the direction you were going when you stalled).. so if you get stuck, ease into a stall, and use the stall to pull the poi into the direction you want to go... As you speed up that pattern, you eventually spin through the entire pattern without stopping/stalling. (hence spinning through the stall)
