Hey gang!
Drex here from Drexfactor.com with a new poi combo for the month of April.
This is going to be a little longer and involve more tricks than last month's combo, but
it has a couple really cool transitions that I think you guys will like in it.
For this month you're going to need the following tricks under your belt: Stalls,
Windmills, Snakes, Isolations, Cateye vs Isolation, and Yuta Stalls.
As always, I'll first show you the combo at full speed, then break it down piece by
piece and finally finish out with the combo in slow motion.
Before we dive in, I just want to take a moment to give a shout out to the friends of the
channel!
Big thanks to Dark Monk, Spinballs, and Ultra Poi for helping to make the videos on this
channel possible.

Now on with the show!
Okay, so this starts out with you facing away from the audience, arms outstretched and the
poi drooping down.
You'll start off by turning your right hand poi clockwise relative to you and bringing
it around to up stall next to your left hand.
I recommend stepping your right foot over next to the left as you do this and facing
toward both your poi.
Now we're going to turn from facing away from the audience to facing toward them.
Bring your left hand up and over as your right hand goes under in split opposites and step
out with your left foot out.
Next we're going to do three more split opposites stalls in double time.
If you think of those first two stalls as being 1-2, then think of these next three
stalls as being 1-and-2.
It'll always be the left hand stalling down and the right hand stalling up, meaning that
the left hand always goes over top and the right hand goes down and around.
We're going to do one more stall here: the right is going to go down and around all on
its own to stall upward on the right hand side.
From here, we're going to drop the right hand down and pick the left hand up to enter
a clockwise windmill.
You'll want to complete a single beat with each poi behind your head and as the left
hand poi comes back around in front, you're going to drop it down as low as you can reach.
You're going to let the left hand lead you through a pirouette, turning all the way back
to front.
Basically, as the left hand goes up and around, keep it at the center of your vision and follow
it and it should take you through the complete turn.
Do another windmill when you get back to facing the audience and this time when the left hand
pulls back in front again, let it complete a downbeat and when the right hand comes around
to meet it initiate a snake out to the sides and then back to the center.
When you've returned to the center, turn that hands together position for the middle
of the snake into an isolation.
I'm actually not picky about how long you stay in the isolation and by all means if
you need to, catch your breath right here because we're getting into the home stretch.
Your first move is going to be to wait for that moment when your arms are slightly crossed
and change the direction of your right hand, letting the poi drop into a cateye.
One crucial thing: let the left hand continue on its merry way.
Your hands should still be aligned for an isolation, so you'll be dropped straight
into an isolation vs cateye.
Now, you're only going to complete one of these before you switch things up.
On your second cateye after you've completed the top of it, you're going to drop down
to the arms crossed position and immediately reverse the direction of your hand back up
to the top, doing a side stall in the process.
Also stop the movement of your left hand poi and it should just pendulum off to the right.
This should mean you get both poi pointing straight out to the right.
Now pull back from the top side stall as the left hand poi reverses its pendulum, getting
them to meet once again to do the top of an isolation vs cateye going back to the right
before once again pulling the right hand out to side stall to the left and turning the
isolation into a pendulum to the left.
Pull both poi back to repeat this pattern once again over to the left hand side.
This time when you get to the poi both pointed to the ride side, you're going to turn this
into a Yuta stall, turning all the way around with the poi out to the side.
When you return to the front, let the poi pendulum to the left, to the right, and finally
bring your hands above the poi on the end of the pendulums to stop their movement.
Congratulations, you're done.
So, the entire combo now from the beginning is: back to the audience, we sweep the right
hand down and around to stall, we stall again, again, again, stall with the right hand, windmill,
and we pirouette around, windmill, snake, snake, isolation, switch to isolation versus
cateye, and stall right, stall left, stall right, Yuta stall, pendulum, and stop both
of the poi.
Now let's see that again in slow-mo.
There's a lot going on here, but none of the individual
tricks is that difficult.
There's just a lot of really rapid changes between them.
This will actually be great for helping you to move quickly with the prop and find transition
points that are only possible with a lot of momentum.
You can show me your version of this pattern by shooting video and posting it to Instagram
with the hashtag #drexfactorpoi.
Thanks so much for watching and enjoy the flow!
Peace.
