Drews Poi and Stick Video Blog

Friday:

Years ago when I was just starting my video archive project, this was one of the first videos I found, and it's still one of my favorites. Abriamia doing Rhythmic Gymnastics with a ball.

Hi Guys

Slightly indirect link:

This one should work, as a direct link to the video:

Poi, staff, Contact, Dancing and a BIG show

While you are there, take a mo to poke around the Flame Oz, site, there are some fantastic photos and things.

Rock on.
Drew

for da flame floozies(bumped into the lovely faye in byron a coupla days ago...)

wow! that fire porn... sorry, indra yoga.... was pretty stunning!

everything else was pretty good to... especially liked michelle the badass baton girl, the old club/flag guy and andy's video which somehow seems to improve every time i re-watch it...

Cheers for these links Drew Have had a great day at "work" watching videos. Particulary love Andy's vid. Poi. Beach. Sunset. Thailand. Brilliant

Keep em' coming.

Dimitri,sigh.

Sad he is not in Thailand, was hoping to run into him myself

shame flameoz's promo dvd isnt online anywhere dave and gracies doubles routine is slick as + full of cheese

Yeah the flame oz promo is funny - it's really well put together, and you get a sense of the energy of their shows, but you don't quite get how cool some of the routines actually are - the ultra-tech-cheese-pose combo that they do so well...

In other words, they're even better than the vid

The Andy on the beach video made me sick

1 on how effortless it all looks and
2 On being back home Sigh

Not literally... of course

WOOP WOOP
love this thread
we had a grrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat film shoot this weekend

got some goooood stuff comin online soon and in the spherc DVD (if matt ever returns my emails )

if matt doesn't mind i'll put up some eensy small clips/previews of the spherc stuff so you guys can see Zarah, she's my fave baton spinner ever. otherwise the film shoot this friday will provide at least some unedited clips of some atomic weaves, airwraps, inversions, inside weaves, cateye weaves, conicals, dragon's tongues, mantis wraps, and whatever else comes to mind.

Woohooo

It's all just too exciting.

Oops I'm a bit late with Tuesday's post:
Ok, here is, flexible is groovy, but Ros and I both agree that, when contortion is taken this far
- while it is incredible, it's also a bit of a freak show:
3 links that are to the same clip:

Enjoy

Wow, that woman's got some serious bendyness there.

I love the random appearance of santa at the end

Wow bendy indeend

brings to mind the age old thought, sex with contortionists, great? or a bit like shagging a worm?

ewwwwwwwwww Sandy

Y'never know... he could have just such a video in that collection...
