Never practice poi inside

After this thread, I think I am going to start a company that makes unbreakable light bulbs... I'll make a fortune selling to twirlers

Nowt wrong with indoor poi... teaches good plane control. Luckily, we have high ceilings (and paper lampshades). Our kitchen's got a bit that's about the right size.
Saying that, I have killed a plate (first day with a staff. never _learn_ staff indoors. once you get better it dosn't matter so much) and a brand new unopened jar of my housemates dads homemade marmalade. Oh, and one of the paper lamp shades. Took several hits, but once you've got it once it starts to hang lower and lower until... well, it's still up, and it still shades the lamp, but only because it's quicker to get a chair and delicatly balance the coil of wire and paper that it's turned in to than it is to buy a new one.

Roll on summer, then we can go outside without fourteen layers of thermal clothing getting in the way of things...

Oh, and a soapstone incence burner.

I've managed to destroy a few lampshades and a half full glass of water but thats the worst of it

My laptop the first day I started spinning but nothing since Oooo except a strip lightbulb. That was pretty bad. Very shattery

the hole in my lampshade keeps getting bigger...heeheeheee

practicing staff in the living room, i did some horizontal thing, hit a glass which flew into a wall and broke. was pretty hilarious actually

spinning poi in the living room (see a pattern here?), my dad came by with a plate full of fruit, and as usual didnt ask me to stop when he went by me. I giant-windmilled the plate to the floor

Ah, there's nothing like a good broken lightbulb shower first thing in the evening. Takes me back to when I was first learning and had a few...

(Is my poi any better now? No, I just got better at dodging)

Clubs are the worst for spinning inside. You have to find space where there's no-one around you and nothing above you.

or hoop......my hoop isnt really a hoop....its a weapon of mass destruction! my house mates have banished me to the park with it :P

what are you guys on about????

mental, hello! its winter!

ALWAYS practice indoors, dont be gettting sniffles now. Posessions get in the way of juggling anyway.

Strangely enough, i've never broken anything even though I do double nunchucks inside with throws! I guess i'm just lucky...

i have amazingly bad spacial awareness. i just zone out of the world when im playing with my toys and then things get broken.

I managed to destroy the light fitting on the verandah at my last place

Oh and smashed a coffee perculator that was sitting on my bed by dropping a club on it

I broke the inside of a light (not the light) with glowsticks.

heh. When I was learning i was using these glowsticks, ad I would go absurdly fast and controlled with them. Made quite a few marks on my wall... and some paintings... and come to think of it anything with in a ten foot radius of my spinning... heh
