Ok, two new videos:
1) The Atomic Weave: Enter the World of 3D spinning. Andy first showed this to me at the Poi Studio years ago, and yes, people have taken this idea all kinds of places since, but this is a good way to start.
2) The Mighty Banyan: Banyan is one of my favorite fire spinners ever, and I mention him in "The Beautiful Thing about Ashes." This is some great double staff spinning from Thailand and India.
We're really rolling now that we have a computer again. Stay tuned for at least one new video every week, yay!

*sighes* One new video each week... I need to get back into some serious poi work.
... as opposed to just throwing 'em and seeing where they land
*yawns* Methinks Pip'll catch some shut eye before she contemplates serious poi again.

That Banyan video is awesome. Thanks.
Hmmmm.... I notice that your atomic weave is very different from the one in Nick Cann's tutorial. In my case, yours looks a little bit more doable. :P
Looking forward to more stuff, thanks a lot.

And even more latest videos:
1) Advanced Beat Theory and Reel Turns: Explores different ways you can count the rhythm and beat of the poi, and how to apply that to specific moves and to dance in general. A great tutorial if you're the self-teaching type.
2) How to Make Meteors: A quick tutorial on making poi-style meteors with foam balls and colecord.
3) Getting Started with Double-Staffs: Explores some ways to get your double-staffing off to a good start. Definitely just the tip of a big iceberg but sometimes that's all you need.

dunno if it's a fake or
the funniest things is,
when the "poipeople" do staff they only take
their poi experience and translate
ans it's the same, when the staffer do poi ...
i hope your great aura can give to the most people,
the 1 experience with 2 staff ...

I don't quite agree.
Sure from the first times they play with the instrument, however I think there is much to be learned from each prop that will in turn teach you something about the other one. I'm almost strictly a poi person but I get inspired a lot by double staff or even staff spinners.
It all depends on what kind of person you are... I'm easily inspired by many things myself =)
