Do YOU hit yourself alot while practicing??

dude (geezer) yes i did see ur mace poi, it rocks!
yea big mirrors are a bit more than a tenner, why don't you go for the cheap option and cover your wall in tin foil?

xnonx yea but if we all turn up with razor and mace poi mwahahahaha bye bye emos
first i will have to buy a silver disc lite shade, can't be assed, i'll just play with the light shade in my mind.....

First long practice with poi today....
Shoulders hurt from bad spinning posture.
Shins and knees hurt from impact damage.
Head and ears hurt from collisions.
Black eye.

It's frustrating... but fun at the same time. I came back on here to find i was doing all the moves wrong.
*goes out to nail 3 beat weave again*

tinks - hmm yeah playing with it in your mind sounds less dangerous ^_^ hehe

cedrada - looks like someone came out worse than me then lol. i did my first long practice yesterday, a few knocks on the head and such, but no black eyes for me lol.

finally figured out how to do the butterfly over my head, it took me all day but yeah finally got it =D

keep goin cedrada!!!
x non x hi five dude, respect...
geezer good point, bring on the olive oil lol
eggin your wall? i like your style... just don't get started on the baked beans

I scored a particularly nasty double-sided head shot yesterday while trying out the overhead ttn. Even with soft-ish poi, my head was spinning for a bit!

I've decided.... i really wanna live where my boyfriend lives, he has a huge grassy area right outside his house that's perfect for practicing on and then theres my house.... a tiny bit of concrete then a busy road, i can only practice when i'm at his.... which is most of the time anyway ^_^

i hit myself a lot but im a newb. I'm getting better with most tricks. i finally learned the btb weave and it hurts sooo bad. haha.

At first it happened all the time, then I got better. Then I started trying to learn harder and more complex moves and it happened a lot, then i got better again. Haven't really had a problem with hitting my self unless I'm trying something new(or stupid).Then I bought some beaming poi. 1 black eye, 1 lost tooth and 8 minutes unconcious. Some times it's not how many times you hit yourself...it's how hard and with what...ALWAYS respect the beaming poi!

I seem to hit myself on my head, back , arms, and chest(ouch!). I must have wacked myself about 100 times yesterday. I think I should have gone with the soft fuzzy poi instead of the tennis ball poi, but I shall def stay away from the beaming poi. I already look as if I have an abusive husband, don't need to through missing teeth into the mix

to all guys who gets sacked in the sack here is what I told my guy friends

soft poi & cup....there is a reason they are made it works so well

yeah hitting yourself in the boobies isnt too nice, but we have it a little better than the boys with their thingy things. mind you, hitting yourself in the box is a bit shocking too

I'm just getting sick of burning my hair off. I think I'm too cool to wear a bandana (jokingly) but I teach myself a lesson every time... only I dont think I learnt it too well....

I don't know one guy that's tried poi that hasn't joked or made a passing comment about wearing a cup/box/protector... also don't know why guy that actually does.

We all take a hit every now and then... if you don't, then you're just not pushing hard enough.

Oi, pip... a bandana is usually my solution to the burnt, crackly hair situation. What are u trying to say? Hmmm?

ha ha ha nothing.... ahhhhh nothing...

he he he... dont worrry it will bandana's, beanies and banana's all the way for me tonight, I think. what? who said.. ummm... nevermind..

Pat, Pat! say you're coming to moonfest tonight !?

mmm... was supposed to be going to moonfest, pip... and I hadn't missed one since finding out about it back just before the easter one this year...

but I'm sick... asthma+cold turned into flu, turned into chest infection... so I'm drugged to the eyeballs @ home and will be that for the next couple days, I reckon...

and... pixie? definitely... evil? wouldn't have picked it...

ha ha ha... yeah the name got brought up again at moonfest. One of my old friends always used to say that I always look so innocent that I can get away with just about anything.. I'm actually pretty good at it. If you just deny deny deny then smile sweetly... you can pass just about anything off... Theres a few other tricks to it as well. I can teach you... try it one time pat!

So yeah this friend used to tell stories of the crazy lunacy we'd get up to, but people wouldnt even believe it.. cause I can be really really well behaved when I want to. She dubbed me the Evil Pixie... i hope my secrets not out! ha ha... im not reeeeeeeeeaaaly evil... just a little bit naughty and only sometimes. Everyone has to be a little naughty sometimes.


Bummer about missing you at moonfest... I hope you get better soon... get the echinaecia tea and vicks out. Oh hell, but nothing beats some good chemical drugs... *sniggers*

Yikes... that was all a bit

sorry guys.....

I hit my head with my staff last night and now I have an 'ouch button' there?

lol... ye, I noticed the off-topic-ness too... but it's habit with me... I can de-rail anything... ta, pip... I hope I get better soon too, so I don't have to have any more time off work...

note to self: find the vicks... was only just talking about vicks last night...

on topic-ness... ummm... ok, I *haven't* hit myself with poi for at least, ummm... I'd say a couple weeks... and eek!! head+staff is bad combo

for when comes to breast ..I use turtels no pain for me there every where else....ya pain
