Tutorial videos except those from HOP?

hello,

you found us already...
we would like to internationalize our homepage soon, then all tricks (more than 800 videos of poi, staff, acrobatics, juggling, swinging, jojo etc.) will be translated in english.

this is lots of work, so we will need help in translating or describing all the moves in english....

bye SAM

i'm SO looking forward to that! please notice this forums when you're ready. i guess lots of people will be happy that day!

thanks!
The question is to us, is it necessary that someone really translates the german to english?
isn`t it enough, if someone who knows about pois/stuff describes the moves in english? i guess here are more than enough experienced players who speak perfect english. i would say thats enough.
if someone fells like describing the moves or parts of it, connect me or gerald of this forum, he is the guy who does most of the moves and organizes the staff and poi category of our workshops.

yeah! good site! loving the photos!

I think the problem is not someone translating, but someone speaking German - as I've looked around there are not so much people of that kind around. Spinning seems to be much more popular in Great Britain than on the Continent.

@Sam: Maybe someone should describe the moves also in the German version? And add a name (to the club swinging moves)?

Till now I haven't found another page with club vids, so I don't know the correct terms either.

I really like your page, but I think it's pity that you can't download the vids. It's easy to understand why not, but I don't practise spinning inside the university cip pool ;-)

Well i can speak some german and some english too, but just like u i think i would have some trouble in translating the terms...
anyhow if i can help in some way just pm me

@vanilla: yes you are right, the club swinging will be described as soon as that guy has time...
also all the staff moves need to be described in german and english....

@ all: but the navigation of tthe tutorials and the very first poi tricks are also in english since now, we put the english in blue.

so now everybody really can describe the moves in english. it is such a lot, we cant all do it alone, as its more than 800 moves and tricks together and should grow even more. in our small forum, we have a thread there it can get organised, so no one describes the same...

good night, SAM

@malcom: we love your site, many of us are active (or passiv...) since a long time here. we linked HOP as its the very best page to get information to poi, staff and muchmore ever! our aim is trying to connect the different scenes (juggling, mimes, ballons, unicycling, poi, acrobatics etc.) and share our knowledge.

Many greetings SAM

We have alist of most of the online tutorials for poi, staff, and equipment development as well as some of our own poi ones at http://www.tamingfire.com/tutorials.html

just found it, thought somebody might not have known about it apart from me.

Hey everyone
Ok I'm new to poi, finding it incredibly frustrating and painful! Just wondered if anyone has any advice and doing some not to difficult moves, especially weaves! Just cant figure them out! Always end up just doing a figure of 8.
Hmmmm, this hurts my head in more ways than one!
Help!

Hello
Have you looked at the lessons section of HOP yet? There's lots of newbie information there.
Also, there is an excellent DVD out called Poi Spinning Basics with Pele's Element which is especially good for beginners.

oh, found a french one:
