Contact poi

ahh.. she was using her natural assets was she?

*dissapears off to start gorging himself on fatty foods in an attempt to grow some man boobs*

OK, OK... yes, so we have a new discovery amoungst the rolls family - girls only (or yes of course men with man-boobs ). I dont think it needs any more explanation really! I'll get it on video tonight with fire

Lx

*Runs off to invent a man version but thinks it may be a tad trickier to show off in public*

i think frodo's been working on that one already...

An you wouldn't want to try the man version with fire unless you shaved!

(I couldn't find a smily that seemed approiate)

Of course the men can do a wrap that women shall never be able to do.

:eek at least, I hope not.

been away a while, but still working on this... made a breakthrough the other day - when doing vertical propellors, it helps to rotate your wrist with the poi, like you would naturally with the horizontal propellor. Makes sense? Didn´t think so. Sorry. Anyone care? Didn´t think so.

is that all we get? you dissapear for ages and re-surface only to post some obscure reference to contact poi without even stopping to say hello? i'll send you a pm so then you can't ignore me...

Hey laura, hows it going? Hope you're enjoying yourslef

I'm interested I'm interested! Been doing lots of contact lately, got the vertical propellors up to a reasonably consistant 5bts, sometimes getting nearer 10 if I'm lucky! I know what you mean with the little twist in the wrist, and have managed foot propellors too! by fluke of course and unrepeatable but at least I know it's in there now, just gotta find it again!

I've been trying a lot of single poi contact too, it's really nice with socks/cones so long as they've got weighted handles. You can get all sorts of body passes, handcuff wraps, throws and propellors all in one go. Look quite nice too when its flowing

Be good to see ya when you return, I need my contact buddy to spin with

yeah cool, I´m doing fine out here - sorry haven´t written more Chris, but I miss you loads!

- and I meant to add about the wrist flick - have you tried hooking your thumb under the poi just before the upswing - helps loads!

Dunc - contact buddy most definately needed, I don´t practice enough on my own! Gets all dull like! (and everyone stares at me like I´m a loony in the juggling meets whenever my marble-weighted poi smack against the echoey floor! So I don´t like to practice much there!!)

wicked! Thats a great idea! Give Rossco a missive kiss from me mwwwwwwwa!

i have found that poiing with another ball in my hand opens up some oppertunities to do contact juggling with poi ... ie...

placing the poi in various places... in the neck (like holding a phone) then letting it roll down your arm while stalling. or placing in the neck then takiung out with the other hand...

putting on the head and then taking off with the other hand...

i am sure there are many cont juggling moves with poi at the same time.... i just wish i did more contact...

be this poigling Kev by any chance? Watching your routine at spitz when I was there gave me some great arm rolling ideas that I now use every now and then but by balancing/rolling my poi down my arm as apposed to an extra juggling ball.

i think he's talkin about the balls...

I learnt butterfly suicides the other day

elaborate.
