OLD HOP HEADS V.S NEW HOP HEADS

LMAO...any newbie reading this...please dont take it to heart, but DO heed our advice. Iv changed A LOT since i first started twirling, yet i do twirl with a different style then almost ALL fire twirlers. honestly my hostility comes from me being a glowstringer, im extreamly competitive and it shows through in my post's. I also twirl fire like a glowstringer wraps and all, but if you wanna battle poi style, im down too. msfroggy, last i remember i DID show you up, with pozee as my witness too. now enough of the attitude, I MISS HOP, but i have to agree with pozee, so many people are on it now that its hellatious to try to keep up. WOW the good old days, guess we had something great and we couldnt keep such a wonderful thing secret for the rest of our lives, DAMN why couldnt we be selfish...=*(
ill be lurking....DUH DUH DUH!!!

C'mon thistle this one's for you too

Guess I have to rank as a newbie then

Hey Myst,
Nice thread starter, looking back on the good old days as it were. The pain and suffering, and the thoughts of right now I must know everything there is to know about this stuff. I dont class myself as "old skool" at all, despite being at it for years now, but I recently enough joining hop. I guess I'm middle of the road skool. It must be a good laugh for all you guys talking about the progression of the website.
BUT..... the big but.
How about changing the name of the thread to something alittle less competitive. At a glance it does look like it's gonna turn into yet another one of those facing eachother off threads There are far too many of them. Thats one change in the website thats not so fun. When I first joined it was only fun lovin hop. None of this my stick is bigger than yours crap, or people bitchin bout eachother but there is more and more of those threads these days. That has gotta change back!!!!! No matter how good you get there is always someone better than you, and if there is personal stuff, take it outside

Anyway as far as nad hitting goes, I mean thats one thing that'll never change about poi. The moment you try something new...... wham I mean it does still creep up on you when your not looking and swiftly take you out
I guess that why for the moari women it was dancing and for the men it was war-training Maybe they should sale jock straps on the site too

Ahh those were the days my friends....

And myst, great to hear from you!!



Ade, of the paleolithic

Can someone explain me how to make sparkly poi?

Nomad

ah, the good old days....

I remember we used to get into discutions about the crazy things you can do while spinning. Elephants and g-strings (thongs) and all kinfds of crazy stuff.

I remember when I couldn't do a butterfly without hitting myself in the balls. So, I went out and bought a cup...

But mostly, I remember that we've been together on this for a WHILE now, and it can only get better.

Maybe on day we will be sitting back talking about "remember when we though weave isolatiuons were imposible" or "remember when we didn't know you if you could to a btb hyperloop fountain" ....can you? don't know yet.

This is a great community though.

Glad to see you back, Eric, been a while. Why don't we find that thong/elephant/horses-bareback-blindfolded-spinning fire-while-standing-on-the-horse's-back thread.

hello gorgeous ones...*

hmmmmm..... is wonderful to see think back over how much poi play has collectively evolved through this site over the past while...

with so much input from so many wonderful people over time ... and it's just so precious to have the infectious enthusiasm of the newer members of HOP who just keep pushing these boundaries further and further...

I know I never would have bothered to explore behind the back technique by myself, little alone weave isolations (which I absolutely adore now!) or even with the friends I spin with in the non-cyber world... after 8 years spinning (ouch!) your motivation can kind of slow up a bit, (well mine does) so it's wonderful to pop in now & again and get a rush of enthusiasm... yay!

O.k.....I'm a newbie..but I've been stoked to glance at this thread and be all nostalgic with you'all!(got a bit choked up ...maybe it's just the full moon...) Cheers 4 the inspiration Can't even imagine the days where you all discussed the mere possibility of btb weave! Love the connections we all make through this site. peace.

changing the thread name in my eyes wouldnt feel right, considering i was quite the trouble maker back in the day. it wouldnt be a MYST thread otherwise. but its only the threads name, im not bagging on the newbies, nor are any of the old school heads on the board. Much love to ALL the twirlers on the site, NOW DONT MAKE ME SAY THAT AGAIN! >=) DAMN its good to be home! so lets get back to it, any other memories kids? I deffinatly remember hitting on almost everygirl on the board, ESPECIALLY FLASH FIRE...MMmMmmmmm I still got a little flame for her. Cassandra, ohhh baby!!! with my little blue glowstick who aint so little anymore. Pele, hahahahaha, be careful of her, she bites. =X damn those are the great memories I have of the past, lets hear all yours. Muahz

-Myst

LOL@MYST

L*r

T

Is Crazy Raver Dude still alive? Anyone? I miss him too...

I agree with C@ntus!

I can do the weave, and some stupid dancing half beat things where i look like im going to start flying and then i hit myself in the nads.

Staff is much better.

As for really hard stuff that everyone new picks up quickly, double staffs took me flippin' AGES to learn...
