Defined ~ Flower

Defined ~ Flower

Flower:
A multi-beat separation in which the poi make smaller circles within a larger to giant orbit

A family of moves in which both arms are fully extended and 180 degrees apart and the center of rotation of each poi is at it's handle.

Hmm, I should have something about moving your arms whilst keeping them 180 apart, but can't word it in a way I like...

flower is a multibeat seperation...

you do not have to keep your amrs apart.. I do a flower from a butterfly buzzsaw to butterfly buzzsaw.. that has the butterfly buzzsaw then seperatingf with one high and one low back to butterfly buzzsaw on the otherside, then opposit ehigh and opposite low.. and then back into the butterfly buzzsaw.. but it happens so lfuidly and what not that it doesn't ever really stop at the butterfly buzzsaw somuch as jsut move through it...

so flower.. is just a multi-beat seperation..

Ok that's true actually, well spotted. So the definition needs to include a) arms extended, and b) centre of rotation at the hand/poi handle.

again I don't think arms extended.. (edit: arms extended.. not necessarily fully extended.. )

a seperation doesn't have to have arms fully extended.. this comes from shorter chains.. because your string length determines how far you have to seperate to get a flower..

I think by clarifying it as a multi-beat seperation in which the poi make smaller circles within the orbit of a giant circle.. because my flowers don't necesarily go as far as the giant circles but the smaller cirlces made by the seperation travel the same path as the giant.. so maybe we can work something with that.. I dunno...

Ok, I can go with that Sphism/smilesmiley

me too.. lol

Ok so suggestion.

Hows it?

Going twice.

I'm buying.

I hate to come in after it's already been defined (which is a fine definition btw)

But the term compound circles makes a lot more sense. Atleast to me. It's really descriptive of what's going on, to the point where you have an idea of what's happening before you even read the explanation.

im not nesscarily saying you change it, because flowers are already common poi language amongst a large number of spinners. changeing the name would probably be a bad idea to change a term in midstream and mess everyone up.

so what's the point of my post? I guess I have none, and am wasteing a few bytes of hard drive space, and a little bit of bandwidth makeing this post. I continue to be wasteful by jabbering on about even more useless stuff.

Perhaps if I find a time machine. After I go into the past and accidentally prevent my parents from hitching, then find a way to fix it and come back to the present. But before I go into the future and give into temptation by buying a sports almanac to make a fortune with when I go back to the present. I may go a little bit back into the past and make sure flowers are known as compound circles.

I'll add a compound circles page to the poidia and link it to flowers Sphism/winksmiley

yay.

I learned a lot with Poidia, so I'm trying to contribute as much as I can, by waking up this old post :oops:

Here are my definition, pictures and various variations, in french, of a flower.
If some of you are interested, I can traduct the text. I hope it will bring something to this post, and criticism is welcome Sphism/winksmiley

Link to a french definition of Flower within a wikipoidia like on jongle.net

ca c'est tres bon taleron,

j'aime les images beaucoup.

merci pour la lien.

i think what you call "flower" is the same thing as nick calls "compound circles"

but by the new images in his tribe profile i can see why you would call them flower...
