Warning, this is a rant:

This suck's because i am a visual learner and also because half the stuff you all talk about i can't make head's or tail's out of. I under stand the abbreviations but i have know idea as to what most of them are.I have been spinning for about a year and a half but have never meet another spinner so all of the moves i know i have taught myself. ne waay's to get back to the point is i would love to learn most of the stuff most of you guy's and doll's talk about but i don't have any inspirational and musey type people around. that and i just realized this post is going no where so i'm just gonna quitmybitchin' and leave it here.

I've got almost the same problem. I've learned some very simple stuff from text. I'm starting to catch on a little bit to the text though.

Hang in there...Assuming you have some sort of transportation, there is a weekly spin practice here in Houston every Tuesday evening. This is meant for learning new stuff and is definitely geared towards newbies. There are also a couple people in town who teach lessons if you are interested in those as well.

i think the two sites metionoed above make up an excellent teaching resource.

and for some wicked text descriptions and articles on poiinthepark click here.



aha! just checked out the links page here (for the first time ever i think!) and it is wicked

i particularly like the fact here links to poi.com and those guys link back here.

which made me think, is *all* pleasent behaviour on the internet (which there ain't much of!) maybe in someway connected to this site...?

I'm the only spinner I know two. I once saw someone from here do fire poi in Halifax but that's when I first started.
