(No offence to any of you poi ladies reading this!)



I have to say after only being a HOP member for a short time and checking out all the great pics of trix and all you fab peeps

and have discoverd (this iincludes previouseknowledge) that the women of poi are the Fittest i have ever seen,



it might jus be me but the whole look attitude and feeling of poi girls beats the arse off your me me towny girls any day!



------------------

All in fav say aye!

If we all ate one person then i'd be full.

yep - i said it was a bad answer

i'd say 'techy' spinning is spinning that relies upon or centres around 'advanced' techniques like 5+ bt weaves, airwrap variations, opp direction weaves and so on.

Yup I said whee to my fluffy poi. Oh dear. What a shame. I don't really like being called a girly girl because I wouldn't say that I really was. I don't detest it, but I just get irked by some guys thinking I'm instantly a wuss because I'm female. That's what I was trying to say. Oh, and whee was used in the context of yay, as in whee we're going to the fair

I can spin more technically than a lot of guys and girls. Anyone back me up there? I can bust a lot of the 'hard' moves as well as dancing and grinning and having plenty of fun.... But both are wicked. Some days I just spin round and round in circles til I get dizzy, other times it's just throws or just btb or just whatever I feel like.



i daresay i's seens a wide spectrum of twirlers - mrs fnf is one of the elitest skilled twirlers i've ever seen.

ever.



again, i laugh hearilty at the narrowminded assertion that gender is a limiting factor.

it's as ignorant as it is insulting.

yep super hot bath, incense, smokes and a beer did the trick.

back to the discussion though - the fluff bomb fairy is one of the girls i was thinking of when i made my first post here.

ICON!!!!



qoted from Icon...............



"Sure, girls can wiggle like a bucket-o-worms but I gotta say that Ive never seen a girl who is technically good at poi. Im not saying they cant and there are none, but Ive never seen any. Even girls who have been doing it for 5+ years have more wiggle than moves. Whats up with that?



Are there any girls here who can honestly attest to the contrary?"



I CAN









yeah, and i don't remember who it said again, but somebody gave a whole list with the top spinners, amongst whom are a lot of girls.

I've actually had a chance to see two of those ladies spinning poi AND staff, namely BamBam and Grace (FlameOz) and I'm still trying to perfect some of the moves I saw them do. oh, AND I saw a group travelling through mexico with 2 girls doing amazing stuff, including poi-throws. and I must add that I've seen more girls do good poi than guys...



so yes, I can too!!!!



guys just seem to act as if they are in a kung-foo movie, shooting through moves in fast sequences, while girls generally flow it all together. for me somebody who does poi well, is not somebody who can just do a lot of good moves, but somebody who can also perform them with grace, and that grace bit is something that comes more naturally to most girls.

now I'm not saying that there aren't any guys that can poi good... I've seen Knoxious spin, and another guy from israel, Noam, who really had a special style to his spin, really short and a lot of direction changes with good facial expressions.... and I hope that someday will see me spin and add me to this list too

but enough poi talk for now, I'm off to practice my staff in the park.

The existance of flamethrowers says that someone, somewhere, at sometime said "I need to set that thing on fire, but it's too far away."
