reverse 5 beat sux!! and we only have a tut 4 the 4wd i think.. it's not the movement that's hard here.. it's getting ur brain around how a rev 5bt actually works.. it's not quite what u think and i can't put it in2 words yet cuz i'm only just getting it myself.. this might take u some time.. and it may take u a bit 2 conquer the fear factor cuz this shit will b flying directly in ur face.. go slow and swing something u don't mind getting hit with lol!!

and check out nick woolsey.. he's got some great tuts.. not sure exactly where the rev 5bt tut is so no link cuz im lazy.. just google him and u should find what u need..

I'll make a tutorial when I get back from the store. I'll also make an anti-spin orbital one for SpinnableDreams.

Anything else anyone want/need while I'm at it? I'll be more than happy to bang some out.

I was looking but I cant find a tut on the full body crosser. Can you do that one? and also just fyi you guys have LilRaverBoi's crosser/straightjacket tutorial up twice. Once with the name "Crosser/Straight-Jacket Tutorial" and once as "Crosser Tutorial"

Also here is the Nick Woolsey 5 beat weave tutorial. its a pretty long video and the first half is about forward 5 beat but its still a good video to watch. he has great teaching techniques

YouTube - Poi Lesson: 5-beat weaves and related...

this is whats happening in a rev5bt. you are doing the same hand motions as a forward 5 but on the opposite side lol.

example: you're doin a forward 5 and when you go to add the extra beat on your right side you put your right hand over your left and spin under it on your right side.

its that exact same hand motion but you're doing it on your left side. heres a tip i found that makes it very easy. with the hand your adding the extra beat with, when you have it twisted around the opposite hand, PULL the opposite hand across while spinning glowstick/poi. it helps you from hitting yourself lol. hmmmm maybe ill make a tutorial today...
