i didnt forget, in person is always best. then 2nd comes videos. that's what i always have said.
but videos have other properties that's better than "just" seeing it in real life. that's a whole other discussion though, so i'll stop here.

I think practicing with glowsticks has improved my poi spinning too. When doing longarm patterns I found it was more a matter of faith, than feel, that kept my planes straight. Now when I spin practice poi, everything just feels cleaner. Same goes for stalls too.
I definitely agree. When I first tried a 4beat TTN with glowsticks I was a spaz. I realized that my planes weren't as good as I thought. Practicing with the glows definitely got my poi planes cleaner.

Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.

yeah... real life meetups are always the best. you lose a lot with videos. but when it comes to trading ideas with accomplished people, i think the videos are the quickest and most econmical, and not only that, but MOST importantly, "fits" the thing we are doing.
So yes, I totally agree 1) videos suck compared to real life.
but here is my opinion 2) videos are usually better for displaying visual meetups that incorporate movements than text descriptions.
Just like how an art book is chock full of photos, even thogh you often lose the essense of the art (the oil, the textures, etc) itself.
