But what IF the guy could do it the move? Would that make a difference to you? Some people are just wasted. Next time ask him to roll a fat one Either he will or he'll leave u alone. Both ways you win

the fire snobs get under my skin a little.. I have noticed that people who spin are generally good-natured and helpfull. However there is that "upper echelon" (at least in there minds) of spinners who are soooooo freekin leet that unless you are as good or better, they have no reason to even talk to you. Class seperations occur on some level in any group of people but seriously.. I might be mistaken but this art(not poi persay but staff/contact/juggling) has such a direct link to traveling performers and those historically referred to as "lower class" that I have a hard time believing that mentality exists within it, much less that someone would feel justified operating within that mentality....
Sorry a bit long winded.

It's annoying when you are spinning and another person comes up and asks to try, and acts as though they don't know how to do anything. I don't mind handing over the poi and letting them have a shot, but what's annoying is when they act like they're clueless, I give them the intro speach of, 'go slow, spin like this, blah blah blah' and then they start and SUPRIZE they've been spinning longer than I have. It's just annoying, it's happened to me once, and it was not fun. Don't do it to other people.

as someone who is relatively good at poi these days, I find it a little weird dealing with people who are less experienced and could benifit from my help unless they approach me first. If you ask, then no problem, but it is really awkward to just offer help unsolicited since you can never be sure how the other will take your contructive critism or if they even want to learn anything from you - and doubly so since someone else is problably going to come up to you in a few seconds and ask to teach them something. Good spinners tend to be quite busy as spin meets, and when they get tired of teaching (teaching burnout comes pretty quick for me), then they just want to chat with friends and such, and maybe save some mental and physical energy for doing fire later in the day. so if you don't ask, they aren't generally going to offer. But if you do ask, they will generally show you what you want even if they are spun out.

I find my blood running cold at some spinners who actively encourage new spinners to do fire too soon. When they are wearing flammable clothing and have exposed loose hair, are drunk
