okay so isa — your text speaks of a different move from the video
you are describing the variation rich is still working on with hands together, poi opposing each other with extension/antispin and switching at top and bottom.
as shown in this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqPQbsGU62s
^(hands together, poi opposite CAPS)

here is a video of just one hand/poi with a CAP
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJBjY38DL6c
this is useful for learning
practice only one hand at a time and make sure that you’re doing exactly what is shown –
there are many flower+extentsion variations which are slower/easier and can be mistaken for CAPs.

It's over my head. I do hope that hooper's use poi terminology as much as possible though. Continuous Assembly Pattern makes a lot of sense for a whole lot of moves though. I was told CAPs is a term Alien Jon came up with for this type of pattern. For the double version: -Facing forward the entire time. -Hoops on wheel planes (sides) -left arm does 1/2 extension from bottom to top while right arm does 1/2 extension from top to bottom -next left arm does 1/2 antispin flower from top to bottom while right arm does 1/2 antispin from bottom to top From my conversations at FD, this version isn't a hybrid. If you are doing antispin w/ one arm while the other is doing extension, then each stroke independently is a hybrid but as a whole it is not. I'm still trying to get down the Antipin/Ext. CAPs with one arm while doing a full ext. with the other. Mind Melt!!! I know… the terminology is a bit much here. It’s over my head.
