This space is for all those funksters busy improving their technique by learning new moves - made-up or traditional.



Tell us all about it! We love hearing about our fellow poiers/staffies/misc. toyers succeeding with new things biggrin

It's just hard to keep up with it all sometimes, so if we keep it together you'll be certain to get a little feedback.



here a pat on the back in advance from me



::flash enthusiastically pats your back::



biggrin

3-beat handcuff weave with double staff (a 3-beat weave where you can keep your wrists together)

10 foot neck catches (throw the staff up in the air, and put your neck between it and the ground). Well, I can do about 1 in 5, and the other 4 leave bruises wink
