Man, nosy people who want to know everything about me... *sigh*, here goes:
We would love to know your

Alright, now My First post on basic variations:

People are talking about split time, moves that go into split time:
Forward swing, Backward swing, 2 bt weave.
When I get some web space (hey, starting your own business isn't easy, plus I'm going to university... just give me some time) I'll get some video's uploaded on these basics.

This explains thing well:

5 bt forward swing weave wraps: foreward, reverse.
5 bt backward swing weave wraps: reverse, forward (your reversed to begin with).

If someone could get some pics of a Butterfly weave I'd appreciate it.

Now lets talk about Toy's:

Still working on getting my hands on Glow in The Dark Acrylic Pain, I will post when I know if it works well. (Any ideas on portable black lights?)

FibreGlass Mesh/Matting works really well, Costs are reduced by 70% per firehead, but the burning doesn't last as long because the Matting doesn't hold fuel well.

Still haven't found socks long enough to use for poi.
