You're my favourite teacher! The way you break it down is just perfect

Hey Nick. After struggling for 3 to 4 years with BTBW, I finally, after comming across your video, nailed it on June 6, 2008 ~14:30. I'm so happy that I came across your video. Thanks a million and if you're ever in Canada (edmonton, alberta) Drop me a note and I'll treat you to a "Thank You" drink. You have been a great teacher and without you, I'd still be struggling with it! Keep up the good work. Peace, love and cookies for you my friend.

poi and nuts are long sworn enemies...

When ever I get frustrated, I just watch one of your videos, and I feel like there IS hope! ^__^ Thank you. You really are the best teacher =D

I'm going to add my words of thanks and praises here. I've been trying to get this manouvre down for months and just couldn't. I've been doing your excercises the last two or three days and I've made enormous progress. Great instructions!!!! Thanks dude!!

i love this! this weave seemed so impossible to an amateur like me but with video im so ready to go at it. you are a great inspiration Nick, keep doin what you are doin because you're certainly making this world a happier place :)

I used this video a while back to learn BTB weave. I then learned the weave in the other direction and can now turn with the BTB weave to reverse the direction and back again. Thanks so much for this great video :)

Ive been spinning poi for three years and have never been able to master this move, 15 mins watching this video i got it!! thank you so much!!

Been trying this on and off for a while now but never had the patience/time to have a long session until I cracked it. I'm pleased to say I now have, my problem was that I wasn't rotating my body, makes life infinitely easier believe me! Now.. time to practice turning into forward BTBW! Oh what joys to be had, and bruises to be made!

Thanks! The way you break the move down step by step makes it easy to learn. Just learned it today, after smashing my lamp and smacking my face several times (using fire poys with the chains) but it was worth it.

Well..What can I say. THANKS A LOT NICK:) Since of bought my first pair fo Poi last month, that I've been seing all of your tutorials, you're great, thanks for being my inspiration. I one month I'am almost doing all that you consider the basics:)For me isolations are the hardest:) Keep on the good work:)

I recommend practicing this somewhere where you can see your own shadow. Makes it a million times easier to iron out whatever problems people may be having.

This is a great tutorial, I learned it in 30 minutes. Thanks

My son is in to Poi,I want to encourage him . Thank you for the videos.

awesome, love the way you break it all down, new to poi, but a total addict now love it all including the bruises lol, what a buzz when I learn a new move...you rock thanks from New Zealand

Thank you so much for this Tutorial, Nick... This is awesome... I have been trying to get this trick for a long time and finally got it thanks to your skill in teaching... Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!!!

Those people that post from years ago talking about how good he is, I wonder how those people are doing at Poi now haha.

thanks a lot for this, man. it's good to have it when i need it. you're a great teacher.

Your choise in clothing is amazing!

Thank you so much for this video!! I finally got it after many weeks, and many many bruises.

OMG! This is awesome! I tried learning this move by watching a different video, but your video shows a few more things that I should practice before attempting it fully. Thanks! The turning of the body is an excellent thought!

Saw this earlier and kind of put out of my mind,but then I got curious and tried the going one at a time behind and now I am excited to learn this :)

i lovet! i tried for like a month.. and doing the excercises, all day really woks thanks a lot!

Nick is the man!!!

I kind of figured this out on my own, but it felt very uncontrolled. this instruction makes it so much easier to do.

Fantastic! Thank you so much!

You videos is the best help i have ever seen :) Thank you very much!!!

Ty teresalopezm! It has actually but very slowly. I had that trouble beginning yoga too. I had to have a lot of help so i just skipped out on the arm exercises. Even the easy ones were hard for me. I will look up and the tube and see if I can find some basic stretching. :D

Your mask amuses me. And great tutorial. Thanks!!

"Let the poi hit you. It's Ok." Trust me, they're gonna hit me no matter if I let them or not.

Thank you so much for the patient instructions :-)

Awesome lesson, very clear and really helpful !! :)

Story of my poi spinning career right here

I have been spinning poi for about a year and i still dont have the behind the back 3 beat weave yet. I will get it eventually!

thanks~ i needed this so much! namaste

This video is also INCREDIBLY HELPFUL. :] Thanks for posting it. Now there's more of a way to learn it, rather than my friend saying "DO THIS 8D" and me attempting to copy him. Haha.

500 likes my friend. I'm going to master this by next week. Determined. Thanks for taking the time to teach us all.

Thanks bro i learn to do this in less than 3 hours its left just get better in the technic

practicing this now and its kicking my butt! i'll stick with it though!

You should do a tutorial on behind the back wallplanes... haha.

Thank you again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a great video. Thank you so much for giving so much information on how to work up to the move. I also want to ask where did you get your mask?

THANK YOU! :)

dangit Nick, this video would've been sooo helpful when I was first learning behind-the-back! rargh! but I definitely agree with Mastress down there. You're a great teacher. I really like the atomic weave tutorial too, btw.

hello from france!! and thanks;)

nik you are the best freakin teacher! haha i love your tutorials man keep them up. im starting to get very good at poi spinning. =D

I have both three beat weaves and one of the five beat weaves behind my back but could you please do a video on both behind the back five beats so I can learn the other

wow o manches que chida expliacacion

its great ,, maybe you should visit CEBU PHILIPPINES ,, we are absolutely poi enthusiasts,,

YOU ARE THE BEEEEESSSST !!! it's a fucking awesome feeling when u learn this! the seret is to concentrate very verry much and never give up untill u get it..to me it took abot 2 hours to earn this move..now all i have to do is perfect it cause i`m hiting myself a lot :D NICK, ONCE AGAIN THANKS FOR YOUR GREAT TUTORIALS!! i would still be a beginer without you! GREAT JOB!!

lol i feel ya man! i'm close but i cant quite get it

Very good video Nick! This is something I'm practicing a little wrong. I'll give the wall a shot and try to stop pretending the wall instead O_0.

Nice! I made it after watching 1 and 1/2 minutes

Great tutorial nick!! ive gotten the BTB weave before, but not consistantly. Are you in contact with nathinel everist? he had a "comprehensive poi course" and some other suplementary material to go with it.. personally the only way i figured out how to do this one is by watching both viedos..

So nobody noticed the mask he's wearing backwards... Cause he's that good at being a ninja!

it is not poi if you don't hit yourself in the nuts while learning, don't worry, you are going extremely well!

OMYGOD ITS SO HARD YET SO COOL. I HOPE TO LEARN THIS :((

u clothing is amazing and ur skill with poi ar ewen bether ;]

yes, I think sock poi are much better for beginners! :)

U are super!

awesome mask :D

after trying to learn BTB after sitting and watchign this video did i get it after about 5 minuts =D

haha..didn't notice since this morning that there are two kind of behind the bw, fw and bw.. well.. yesterday i`ve cracked down the bw bbw and now i've just learned the fw bbw (again after ~2h) and contrary than the bw bbw it was harder to get that feeling but much much easyer to perform it.... i`m wondering if is any poi spinners forum..it would be nice to exchange tips with ppl from entire world :D

Ahhh! Wow! You're a truely awesome teacher! I loved your video! ~Favorite's, subscribe's, and add's you to Heros list :)~ You're like the buddha of poi :) P.S I loved the clothing! Where do I get some??!

what would you say the main differences are between the behind the back weave and waist wraps?

nice mask. see any tigers in bali?

Man this vid is helpful but my prob lies in the fact that i have almost no flexibility in my shoulders. I can bearly clasp my hands and lift my hands off my back. My shoulder muscles are just so strong i didn't practice flexibility when training. Is there any exercises that i can do to help loosen up my sholders Nick?

потрясающий (cool (Rus))

The same over here, cant do it! Still trying, but I tried so many times...

Nice tut Nick but what about your hair? :D

Does this need to be done with the poi spinning backwards ? I thought I was getting it trying btb the poi going “away” from me, but having trouble having it rotate “towards” me

I tried to go straight to behind the back weave after two and three beat forward and reverse weave. I can do all the steps in the video, just can't put it together, so I gave up midway and tried the five beat. Got it in two days and now...I'm back.

oh my god, those officially hurt the worst! Dx I've got welts all over my back TTvTT

sweet dog

every time i try btb weave it hits my elbows, other then that i have the motions down, any tips?

6:16 is that a Meltdown ?

Hey nick, what is the name of this song ? :)

@rawrisimo hahaha i feel your pain m8 the same happens to me

ball and nuts do just comes together..

i"ve understood it already and i actually doing it but my problem is my left hand is kinda clumsy so i star doing it well but after 2 loops i hit myself on the back of my ankles so it makes me stop (kinda frustrating) ... what would help? anyone? (btw my ankles plead for help)

I've made my poi with tennis balls on chains and doing beginner lessons. It's not a great pleasure when they hit a head. They do not hurt so it can give trauma or bruise. But I think for boys it may be hurtful especially on weaves lessons:-)

I actually did this on accident via practicing full body crossersXD

I was so focused on his hands and poi i didnt even notice the mask on the back of his head lol

i dont understand this.... when i do the three beat wave in the front and i make a mistake, it hits me in the nuts.... when i try to do the three beat wave behind my back, it wraps around and hits me in the nuts. can someone explain this to me?

Hi where did u buy your poi where can I get some like u got

i want your shirt

I can do hundreds of reps without hitting myself with one poi at a time, on any side and even wrap up like the tutorial with good plane control. When I add the second poi I just keep hitting my shoulders and my ankles....update...three straight hours later, I have literally hit myself thousands of times with the poi and I am no closer to the goal. Has this happened to anyone else? If so how did you overcome it? Just Practice?

Um das zu machen muss ich mich wohl noch mehr dehnen...
