Well.. been playin with this stuff for just over 3 wks now, and havin a blast. Recently found the charger for my crappy(ish) camera so decided I might as well see if I could make a vid. It's kinda on the large side, and could use some optimization, so sorry bout that, but it's been a while since I've messed with video optimizing.
Also, was usin led glowsticks for the first time, which have a very funky weight as compared to my normal poi. So coulda been better, but ahwell, I'm still learnin
.Enjoy:

good work for 3 weeks! well done for putting a video up! looked like you were having a bit of a problem with unfamiliar led sticks. Maybe work on your transitions a bit, and play around more with the seperated moves.
Keep it up!

Love the twisted butterfly - sorry, I don't know what it's really called (starting side by side, leaning...) awesome, indeed. Nice wristwraps Love the music!! "I'm your Huckleberry."

Thanks for the comments
I definitely need to work on transitions, and lots of other stuff. My left hand is still fairly gimpy (loses it's planes a lot) and those LED sticks just feel wierd at times (the batteries are up where the string ties, so they tend to "fold" oddly when they slow down (that's the best description i can give for it)). And my BTB skills are just about non-existant at this point. Anyway, still workin on things, readin/viewing lots here (this place is great), I'm sure I'll post another progress vid sometime soon down the line.
Thanks for viewing/commenting

It's the latest divx.. but the vid is really tiny (160x120) so if you have a really large res, maybe it's just a tiny dot on your monitor? :P
