OK, pesky winter is gone and so is my excuse for not picking up poi in months. So now it's time to dust off my box of poi moves and go out and get some more. I figure if I publicly write down my goals for the next two months, I might have a better chance of actually getting them met.



My poi goals for the summer are:

Become a Freehanding Newbie

Gumbys/Catchcombos with Fire

Learn Flowers and How to Turn Them

Learn Split Time Glowstick Wraps

Freehanding with Fire

BTB fountain or a Waistwrap



I'll be happy to get 4/6 of them.



And I say this all the time and fail, but I want to get some logic and presentation to my spins. They need a beginning, middle and and end. Maybe uberpoi will save me. frown



... And don't get killed by a fire plate or hoop. But that's not poi and more of a life goal. wink



What are your poi goals for this summer?

Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.

"but more importantly, I had a kick ass summer! I met loads of cool people, went to loads of festivals and learned loads of cool tricks! So I don't really mind if my goals went by the wayside. It was awesome, can't wait till next year... "

I just realised i get another summer 2005 (in nz) so i guess i should think of some nice goals.

1) get to nz
2) buy a landrover FC101
3) Learn some contact staff
4) Poi Freestyle fludily using wibbles/tangles/boxes/atomics/inversions in equal measure
5) Learn to spin 2 diabolo left handed so i can free up my freestylin potential.

hah, nice leprior, im sure by the end of summer youd be rockin it, just dont be discouraged if you dont get anywhere within the first week, it will require practice. My goal is to have a rave at my house, get about 30 people from school, and do some crazy ass staff poi.

2006 goals?

well, i had a look back and have completed all of my 2005 poi goals but i still haven't learnt to juggle clubs.

so, my new (slightly more realistic) juggling targets for this summer are:
50 catches of 4 clubs
a bit of triple single with 4 clubs
inverse 5 ball cascade and half shower
juggle a 5b trick for 4 rotations

and poi:
finish writing polyrhythm poi thread and re-write the workshop
get green fingers in reverse (i.e spin flowers with backwards arms)
learn antispin weave in reverse
learn all the odd-beat-numbered btb wallplane stuff (i.e. all the weaves without carries)

lots of other things on the go too, juggling-related and not - this will be a busy year... biggrin

yay! I love goals. Having goals is good.



For poi:

--fully integrate waist-wraps and forwards btb weave. I can do them, but not transition into and out of them smoothly

--get the btb weave 360 turn. I can turn from forwards to reverse but not back to forwards.

--inversions



Mostly though, I'll be working on contact juggling and hoop manipulation. For both ball and hoop (hand hoops) my goals are:



--get clean isolations

--behind the neck rolls

--clean up what I can already do and get things more consistent



with the ball, I want to get spirals down, and the outer elbow stall on both arms.



With the hula hoop my only goal is to be able to do more by Burning Man than I can do now.



onward!!
