welcome to HoP dude
be warned it is a very addictive place but luckily that's just cos it's such a great place

altho i don't think you would be advised to say none of the above u may be chased by a certain doctor for that

hmm well poi's an easy thing to do really it's just swinging bals on string, staff and juggling (and ifact unicyclin) are much better)

*run's from hoards of spinners chasing him

Just bought a set of Poi on Sunday. Only started to go thru some of the tutorials on this webpage today. Getting a little stuck on doing the basic butterfly redface Getting a little confused about how the Poi don't get tangled up? Any advice you can give?

i'd just say practice really, tho i'm not very good at poi, tho i find there are much more fun moves out there that are easier to learn than butterflies

Come to Clapham. Lots of poiers there who will be happy to help smile

Alternativly, you could ignore poi and do staff wink

I haven't seen Noddy around for ages... probably the reason why my post count has slowed up a bit wink

If he ain't there, ya can't feed him wink

Spitz is on every week. Now matter what the weather.

Though be warned....It's full of Londoners.



But they're all thoroughly wonderful londoners (even Ewan that comes and demands money from you for the privelage of hanging out in, what is essentially, a public place) so it's all ok smile

What next should I learn that would be a natural progression?

The butterfly is what I learnt next.

But I wouldn't listen to me. I'm as staffer.
