Poi Tricks; Trammels
To do a trammel lets first talk about just one hand. If are spinning forwards, your arm is going to come up above your head, which will force your poi to do an anti-spin. As soon as it get to the top of its spin at the top of the extension of your arm, bring your arm straight down and this will cause the poi to extend down.
So anti-spin up for 1 beat then extend down. The other hand is doing the exact opposite in both the direction and placement of the arm.
This is a split time, opposite direction, extension vs. anti-spin, CAP.
Have fun!
Triquetras

Poi Tricks; How to spin a triquetra.
Triquetra (pronounced /traɪˈkwetra/) is a word derived from the Latin tri- (”three”) and quetrus (”cornered”). Its original meaning was simply “triangle” and it has been used to refer to various three-cornered shapes.
To spin a triquetra, start by spinning your arm in an extension and then stop your arm and go back the opposite way, this will automatically create a triquetra as you spin your arm the opposite way. This is could also be looked at as an 3 petal anti-spin flower.
