Wow.
To be able to spin poi with that level of control would be a fine thing indeed!
Muchly jealous

The optimist claims that we are living in the best of all possible worlds.
The pessimist fears this is true.

Nice one Garthy
Thats some smooth as spinning, i really like your amount of differant stalls, they make real great transitions
Cant wait to learn some in the flesh at Falmouth
(oh and just to point out, in the flesh means being there, with clothes on
)

Really enjoyed that Garthey- as mentioned by Glass your timing is excellent, and I really liked your isolated weave- tight!
Hopefully catch up with you in Falmouth

Thanks all.
Probablly should have asked for constructive critisim if anyone has time. (Except for music comments
)
And I can't really ask without analysing it myself first...
Here's my criticism but I'm not sure if it anys use? I probably need external view points. Most of it I just have to solve with practice (I hope). Any tips / hints / Places to explore.
I've never seen anyone critisise there own video. Is there a reason for this? Is it not the done thing? I can always come back and edit this post I guess
General comments
-------------------------
* Music just layed over the top. Not actually spinning to it.
* Bit boring (I think this is cause it's me and I will never see anything in my video that make me go "Oh how do you do that!" I hope anyway)
* To many stalls. Need more variation. (But they're my favorite at the moment!)
* Nice jumper
* Great music
Timed comments
=============
0:35 Crap stall with left hand.
0:47 Hyperloop looks forced breaks flow abit
0:57 Left hand lags on exit from butterfly flower
1:27 Parallel timeing out after stall
1:31 Ditto
1:48 Isolated weave very messy
1:57 Nasty parallel to split time change
2:03 Isolated fountain falls to bits
2:08 Failed BHB WW Tangle
2:23 Back to camera
2:38 Dodgy Double stall
2:52 Hyperlloop look dodgy. (I think the poi ar too long and I have ot move my head back)
2:55 Failed BHB WW Tangle
3:17 Failed stalled entry into BHB Butterfly weave from BHB Weave.
Is this how you critisise a video? I've never really done it before. I just watch and go OHhhh!

Detailed analysis, Prof. Dr. Garthy
i think mainly two points:
a) spin to the music you want the video to be to, so it's all syncronised, i think that makes a lot of difference
b) i think you're right about the huge number of stalls, they're all nice but a little repetitive after a while. Maybe do some more varied stuff (which i have seen you do ), like antispin,leg stuff, strange & wonderful airwraps, body wraps, etc..

Nice vid
Criticism: The colour of the jumper ...
Spinning: To me it seems that you are spinning from the "tip of your toes". Try to balance more (Tai Chi for example). Bend your knees and try to turn around your spine
... and probably find someone who is not explaining Tai Chi via the internet
Again - I enjoyed watching it

Wicked stuff garthy,
Dunno what to say except keep up the good work man,
Maybe mix the stalls and wraps up a bit, play with those flowers where your arms go opposite direction to poi, and play under the legs ~ hell if i can do it with my little legs i'm sure you could pull off some crazy stuff.
Thanks for the credit, i still haven't learnt the crazy garthyLoop lol

wow that was a nicely done vid garthy.
only criticism i have is the same as the rest of the crew about the stallss. u certainly have got em sorted but it did get a bit repetitive for a bit there. other than that tho, your were rockin! inspired me to go n whip the old handycam out i think!

Bing! worry not. Poiinthepark is down at the moment. Server problems I believe, but when PK gets back on line all will be solved and once again you will be able to download Garthy's dads jumper to watch.
I have to tell you its a very nice jumper and it can do a sh!t load of stuff with poi
