I just picked up my old set of poi after probably a year or two of neglecting them. The first thing I did after practicing a bit was looked up some how-to videos and I took notice of an augmented 5 beat. I've been outside in the melting snow trying to get it down (I'm using chain poi and gloves so it's kinda hard, but I'm ambitious to get back to former glory) and I something came to mind, Is there a way to continue the spin?
Say, when you're adding those additional spins to the weave by passing the poi from one hand to another, what's the likelihood of making that continuous?

100%? If you are just swapping the poi from one hand to another to stop them wrapping around your hands, it is certainly completely doable.

I guess it seems a bit more of a challenge considering the speed of ones hand needed to give the Poi split time.(sorry from my very poor terminology and knowledge, its been a while) =)
