Thought ide say hello, wave from up north (lancashire)



Well I came here because poiinthepark is going through some trouble and so I need somewhere to get my daily fix of poi. Just got started (this week!) and im loveing it! I spin all the time I cant put my poi balls down, my arms where acheing for two days and only just stopped today, I spin a pair of blue (pale and dark blue) poi with tails on the end.



Lets see im 18 M, my avatars my pic but im sure you can guess that. I dont work yet but im looking for a job couse im really sick of dossing around its been like a year and a half and my parents are pushing me to get a job lol.



I live in a place called Blackburn wich is in the northwest, was born in Harrigate on the 6th of Feb (apparently I was lucky to miss being born on a leap year, but i think it wuld be cool to be like 6 years old lol.



When im not weavesmileyspinning weavesmiley (wich isnt often) I like to listen to Evanescence, Black Sabbath, Nightwish, No Doubt, The Rasmus, and a folder full of disco on my comp biggrin, dont ask me about DVD's couse I will be talking about them all day lol



Apart from trying to spin my poi I like to swim and jogg (or is it jog? oh im such a crappy speller)

Oh thought I should also say how I found poi. Saw this little 10 minute channel four programe about poi spinners or something, I was inspired and she even said how you can easily make your own poi so I ran off immidiatly to try and put some together. It was a disaster I ended up with two tennis balls wrapped in paper 'attached' with string lol

So I pretty much forgot about poi and then some years later I saw an eppisode of farscape where china (Gigi) started spinning some fire poi in a bar to show off, even though it wasnt a very long scene it made me go on the net and look for some regular poi to order, and I go my first pair from e-bay since no where sells them around here.
