ok so have you ever had those moments when something completely unrelated to spinning happens and it makes you think of something to do with whatever toys you play with?

like...

i was smoking in my back yard and i was spacing out looking at one of those little plastic things that twirl around when the wind blows on them, except this one had two fans on it that go in opposite directions, and the first thing that popped into my head was butterfly antispin flowers lol

oh i know, i'm sure you searched well, it was buried pretty far. i just thought you'd enjoy the other threads too.

I was always scared with my mother's obsession with the good scissors. It made me wonder if there were evil scissors lurking in the house somewhere.

You know you spin to much when words like butterfly, rotor, helicopter, flower, have a completely different meaning

Haha, that happened to me at uni in a lecture. I was falling asleep when I caught a glimpse of a fire poi in a video, and was awake for the next hour despite wanting to fall asleep soooo badly.

Kupo!

Old thread, but I had a Way Too Much Poi moment the other day... I was driving from the grocery store, and contemplating weird anti-spin goodness, and how directions of rotation interact... Whilst thinking of these things, and how awesome they are, I used the wrong signal for a turn... twice! Signaled left and went right... Apparently my subconscious driver was listening in on my subconscious poi'ster and taking notes. Unfortunately turn signals aren't nearly as sweet when they go the opposite way! biggrin

Lol. Mucky! I pick out compound circles in tesselations and all that kind of thing, my friend did me a drawing with lots of squiggly patterns.. "Oh, theres antispin in it, thanks!"

I've actually tried to follow the lines of her drawing with my poi before, it involves stalls and pendulums, antispin... its good fun.

Windows media player is my music player of choice.. not because its good, but because some of the visuals are compound circles... My girlfriend pointed it out once and I was pleased indeed. ^_^ The infection is occurring. Muahahahah!

you know you spin to much when you 3 beat weave the used doggy poo bags you're carrying home eek

when the body is happy the mind smiles

to live a single day and hear a good teaching is better than to live a hundred without hearing such teaching

and everything is measured by the hole it leaves behind

when u sit around town and look at things and think could i spin with that or on that constantly





also when u go out clubbing and all your preperation is getting your many poi ready and debate if you could get your 5ft staff past security



edit: also when you know all the hop smileys and listen to music and dont hear it you see how you can spin to the beat in your head

Mike, I know what you mean about the music, I do that ALL the time, and I do what they said forever ago about you hands twitching or swinging or whatever, I do that a lot. Once my friend's phone started playing "We Will Rock You" and I smacked her when she answered it because I couldn't finish figuring out moves before she answered.

when, to explain physics phenomena to someone, you talk in terms of spin/antispin, isolation,inversion, etc.. and are then confused when they dont get your analogy

Well, my friends make a lot of ball jokes about my poi, other than that when walking the dogs we use rope leashes that I can subconsciously start trying to do 3 beat weave with
