Define ~ Backwards Spin
Reverse spin
In the wheel plane if your poi was a spoke in a wheel the wheel would roll backwards.

Defined ~ Backwards Spin
When your poi is spinning in the wheel plane and at the top of its circle it is travelling backwards.

I agree there, but I think that "When spinning at your sides (wheel plane) and looking ahead the poi seem appear at your shoulder then move away from you." sounds simpler. Since you don't need to look up a definition for wheel plane.
Defined ~ Backwards Spin
I think of it as the poi coming up in front of you and going down behind you when spun at your sides.
(Seems easier to visualize? Maybe that's just me.)

I'd say that when your spinning in the wheel plane, if you were to move the body to the left without moving the strings (its all in imagination) the poi head would hit the front of your face, instead of the back of the head.

We've just discribed the same thing in several differnet ways.
Kind of funny how something so simple gets so much attention. I'm not sure I want to check on hyperloops.

The redundancy is good, though. Sometimes people will understand one version better than the other.
And yeah, defining more advanced moves like hyperloops is gonna be crazy. :22

Yup. It is a good thing. I'm sure some spinners will giggle at such a long explination for something that seems so basic to them.

I always used to describe the direction of poi relative to your eye so...
As the poi passes your eye level it will be traveling backwards.
Then I realised this.
If your poi were a wheel it would roll backwards
It's fascinating how different poiple see things completely differently, that's why i started off on simpler concepts and haven't posted anything on hyperloops and such like.
We will need to create a fairly regimented structure for our new language before we tackle some of the more taxing concepts.

Where both poi are travling backwards. (ie going up in the front and going down in the back.)
Defined ~ Backwards Spin
when the right poi is spinning clockwise on your right side..
the poi should spin up towrads you and down behind you...
Defined ~ Backwards Spin
Let's try putting all of this together:
Backwards spinning occurs in the side/wheel plane (spinning at your sides). When you're spinning in the wheel/side plane and the top half of the circle is moving backwards. So the poi will come up in front of you and go down behind your back, and the right poi is spinning clockwise on your right side (if you turn your head and look at it). Another way to think of it is that if your poi were a wheel it would roll backwards.

Works for me
