OK. You are vindicated, :7 My critique:
For someone who has been spinning for 3 months that was awesome. Good flow, sharp recoil wraps, nice isolations (although forward seemed better / more isolated than reverse), some pretty advanced stuff thrown in, everything was done well. My only criticism would be that you seem to spend a while 'between moves' maybe thinking about what to do next? This is mainly a personal view as when I spin I try to constantly change what I am doing and not do more than 1 or 2 'cycles' of any move at a time.
on the technical / aesthetic side: you might want to use more contrasting poi/background as I sometimes lost where they were and maybe set your camera to manual focus if possible as it seemed to get confused at times.
Full marks for the mouth butterfly and ceiling bounce.

ahah. the second one was much more fruitful. and the musis was excellent, what was it? agree with stonet's comments above. for 3 months your spinning is wicked
heres some posts you might like to look into for further development
BASIC WRAP THEORY (rev's wise words on wraps in the forum 'wraps and stalls'. i see hes even added a video link.....)
TRANSITIONS OF DOOOOMMMM (a thread I started that will get you into antispin etc and all knids of butterfly turns)
even at this early stage get into the habit of doing as much in the way of wraps/throws etc with your left as later it will be invaluable practice.
2. with the first butterfly sequence on the vid when you carry one across in front of you, try taking one poi behind your head rather than infront of your body
3. like stone t says, variation is the spice of life. I got an idea off HoP to change between moves on a kind of pyramyd scale. for example, do a move 3 times, then do another one, three times, then change again. then get it down to two moves then change, then change after every time.
looking forward to seeing the next instalment
peace

Stonet: yes i know what you are on about with trying to do less of the same and keep changing moves,,less repetative i think,,
Jon: the music was a friend who does alot of scratching so i grabbed a couple of files off him,,
im working on the take one poi behind my head thing ,,coming along nicely,,,
hmm about the contrasting backround,, think ill buy a nice big flag or summin to hang up,, and ill mess around with manual focus ,,thanks for the help guys,,
ohh and one other thing,, i done my first proper gig on bonfire night,, at margam park in south wales,, it woz the fireworks venue in my area,, ive got a 15min film of it ,,but its huuuuuuge ,,was wondering about how to make it smaller? any help would be appreciated,, thanks once again ,,

If I remember correctly the music was Dare by Gorillaz , you should check it out jon, I'm pretty sure that's what it was.. but I may be thinking of a differant song and matching it with this video.
