INTERNET C.O.L. 2006

INTERNET COL 2006

Rules:

No attempt at a costume or a nice location. Preferably not on fire and with an emphasis on tricks and new ideas rather than trying to look cool or win.

There as usual, will be a token video of the following skills (not nessessarily all of them), CJ, Hoop, Rope Dart, Fingers, Fire-Hands, Fans, nunchucks, troup performances, glowsticks, juggling.

Remaining true to COL there will be a heavy bias on poi.

All videos should have been made in (or made availible) in 2006. And be made by somebody on or at least connected to an online community. (otherwise how on earth will I find them?) If the person in question has been in a previous (REAL) COL and has subsequently made a video that totally eclipses their COL entry, that video shall receive preferential entry into INTERNET COL 06.

As per usual if I or you, break any of this rules, don't tell me, cos I don't care. (Unless a link is broken, in which case, tell me.)

Chapter skipping hasn't been implemented, sorry.

Well there's been some videos arriving that are blatently past the closing date of the competition, even the postmark is past the closing date so they can't claim that... But in lieu of entering them into INTERNET COL 2007, I'm going to make a...

And the problem with performing with fire is ????????

Well duh! It's harder to learn from a fire performance and learning is what internet COL is all about.

Plus: Badly lit fire performances are what real COL gets plastered with, so internet COL has to be the opposite.

Well duh, I must have missed where you made it so obvious that this was to be a learning, not entertainment series.

I'm glad to read it's about the lighting, and it's not some fire spinners vs sock jugglers cowspoo.

Anyone doing firehands yet?

I'd like to be a token, since I don't have any skills.

it's not a real col until i entries are handed in ridiculously late

bender: for late, read ridiculously early...

claire: You can be the token irish lass if you like?

stout: I think you meant fire 'dancers'

In this case, I actually meant spinner, but we could do that thread here too.

I thought I had a witty remark in response to this thread but I was wrong and have since deleted said remark.

Anyway this is a great idea. I now have alot of videos to watch. I think this could be a big help to alot of people.

Oh and I am a poi dancing fire spinning sock juggler. Does this disqualify me at all?

Yes, you are no longer allowed to breath. Please cease and desist.

any further comments shouldn't be on a 'versus' tangent. Pleassssssse.

Rev vid link correction...

i might or might not...if not, i've got hosting space

thanks sui... that link has been updated...

Just out of interest though...

Maybe you need some links to Nick doing flowers, or Mo-Seph doing funky stuff, or Andy or Drew or Antti and Tommi, or Laura, or Sy from Bristol (uber fast, technical, clean and interesting to watch...)?

Or Ronan and Eimhin...

DevKev?

gotta be this year, in their own clothes, and in daylight thou clare... but post away if you have them!

loving this thread meg!


cole. x

Ahhhh...

Ok... I should read stuff before I post, shouldn't I?

Just cos you get to close the video...

mcp i agree its easier to learn without fire but on the other hand dont you need the fire to see how good the tricks look when lit?,i do feel that many peole dont burn enough and this is shown up in the tricks they choose to perform.....i know somepeople are in this purely for the twirling but for me its all about the fire.....
wicked thread by the way

That's true. I would say anti-spin flowers and weaves look nicest on fire. But I also enjoy incredibly technical things that I find hard to distinguish when on fire. (Since it's harder to see arms and body movement.)

I enjoy both making pretty fire patterns and getting my arms twisted up with each other.

but Internet COL is about videos which are easy to learn from and have something new to learn on them... fire or not. (Preferably not. )

Would this
http://www.poi.sk/videoz/workshopbb.wmv
and this:
http://www.poi.sk/videoz/garage1.wmv

qualify..?:)

ado-p: POST IT!

whiteraven: Yeah I think they're perfect. Sorry I missed them, I remember seeing the workshop one, but not the garage one. pick one, and I will add it to the list.

after this,

all u can see or post is useless ....

i'm sure your understand my idea

Hey meg, I'm in the airport in Australia at five in the morning and the link to my video is broken. Fix it or suffer my jetlagged pukey stomach wrath

it's okay that you're sick, because you're in australia, which roxorz and by association, makes you cooler.

fixerated.

Why did you quote what I said Aidan?

That's my own opinion... you have decided for yourself if you are good enough or not.

Who cares how good anybody is? you enjoy what you spin and you have it on video then there is only one thing to do!:


Post the damn video



*for your egos sake dude - i love watching you spin*
