this is where the old heads come to laugh about the move/moves they had trouble with as a newbie. just thought the subject was perfect remember the FIRE VS glowsticks threads. LMAO... anyway, I remember bashing the shyt out of my shins and my head with a BTB weave. I remember only being able to do the butterfly for a few beats, I remember thinking WHAT DO YOU MEAN IM ONLY DOING A 4 BEAT WINDMILL, WHY IS IT ONLY 4 BEATS WHEN IM DOING THE EXSACT SAME THING I DO WHEN I DO A 5 BEAT WEAVE. lol ahhh the memories. Im constantly refering people to this site, perfect for poi. well anyway its been nice remembering the past...anyone else got anyhting to add?
-Myst
All you new heads got it easy, i remember when a BTB 5 beat was unheard of, now that most of us can do it, all the old heads learn it alot quicker without the mind barrior.
now advice for a newbie section:
dont try to learn all the technical moves before you learn the basics, cause lets face it, you aint getting any respect if all you can do is a 5 beat weave and you cant even imagine doing a simple butterfly. thats all i gotta say

hello, this is such a warm lovey thread I'm still pretty new been spinning glow strings for about 4 years and pretty new to poi, I feel absolutely honored to be able to converse and get tips from some of the best out there. Everyone on here is always so wonderfully uplifting when you need it, comical when you need it, and non stop amusing!!! I only wish that I would be able to spin with some of you one day 
! Thanks to all the oldies and newbies. And Myst you are so right I never thought about being able to come back through and check dates of when I first started to spin or get a new move, that too is awesome:) Thanks to all much love, alice

A couple of balls short of a full cascade... or maybe a few cards short of a deck... we'll see how this all fans out.

holding hands is only fun for a while...it's not long before you get the urge to set something on fire and watch it burn...
