Ooooh, someone who knows reverse 5-beat.. excellent - this move has been bugging me lately. Forwards = easy now, backwards = death to my head!
I just hope the weather perks up a bit. Do any of you birmingham spinners know of an under-cover area we could spin in if it's tipping it down? Preferably somewhere not too bright so you can see the true power of the dark si.. sorry, my HyperLights! I think my head may have gone to my beer

Yay.. and boo!
I'm sure I remember some under-pass type thing with loads of space under it, although I suspect it may be very well lit

There are a couple of places in town we can go if its chucking it down. one of the most fun for fire is multi stroy car parks cos burn offs look fantastic. have to watch out for security somtimes tho. other than that there is a bit of covered space in the garden right by centenery square ill show you later.

Well, we came, we saw and we spun some poi.. didn't rain too much when we eere there - a few spots when we arrived and then dry.
I learnt a lot of new bits and pieces tonight - cheers for the inspiration guys! Hyperloops feel smoother, Isolations are less messy, and the throwy catchy stuff is getting more throwy catchy and less throwy pickupy
'tis a shame there weren't more people - where were you all?! *tsk tsk*
p.s - don't worry about the HyperLight Oliver - it's only slightly broken I had a look when i got back and it'll take about 5 secs to fix when i get back to somewhere with a soldering iron
