cool video some stylistic things to think about
1. close your mouth when you spin your not a fish
2. think about what your doing with your arms when your doing the neckspins
3. try relaxing your shoulders when you do fishtails
4. video all the moves without the stick and if they dont look cool make them cool then add the stick back in
youve got some nice moves which you can do but i dont think that you have made them your own yet if that makes sense
i look forward to seeing the next one

Good stuff lil' one
for beating me to double fishtails though!
Only thing I thought of in terms of feedback, would be to dance more As Ben says, you've nailed the moves, so now you can spend time making it more of a "you" thing
Excellent stuff though dude, well done!

you two have got some nice moves there..
the only thing i'd say, is...
you seem to be just doing the moves, rather than moving with them?

I like, just stix vid is nice, but dude, you need to cut your lawn, and the rest has been said already, and you know how jaw dropping i think you spinning is any way!!!! so i will say no more, or i will start licking boots, and well leather dont taste so nice.
Second one, you move kinda strangly with hands in pockets, dont hold them somewhere, controll them, make the whole body roll, when you do the neck stuff, so the arms are in synch, kinda sinosouldly(sp)
i hadent seen jet spin poi propperly before it earns a nice big smile
mmm CJ mmmmm i want balls....
and double fowards with your fishys is where you wanna go!!!!!
you'll have to teach me to throw and catch doubles, or try again as it is....

2nd vid:
I liked it
Now some well-meaning and not-to-be-taken-as-being-rude criticism :-
Poi: Personally, I'm with Pink and would like to see you move more as a whole. Also, maybe change up the tempos, more same-time stuff and smile
CJ: It's coming along, isolate your isolations more, especially in palm spins (both 2b and 1b). The first set of moves you do, you seem to almost hold the ball and place it into the other hand instead of butterflying and back-back passing it... If you were looking for a hold there, I'd suggest the hidden thumb hold as it's more subtle (or just learn proper back-back passes )
Facelessjoker's spinning was cool, some nice movement (hey, she's a girl - they don't seem to be able to spin without moving ) and I liked the btb straight-jackets.
