Welcome to the site! I'm not from Australia, but we can still be friends, right? :mrgreen:

Maybe we'll get you a bit more into the poi. Granted, firestaff is pretty good too... Sphism/winksmiley

So, if I may, how'd you get started with all this stuff? And do you just do the firestuffs or do you play with less flammable toys too? Sphism/smilesmiley

Hope you enjoy the site.

Hello!!!

I started with sticks, avid that I was always going to be pants at poi, but one day the penny dropped and my staves tend to be somewhat overlooked nowadays. And it's really hard to spin sticks inside without breaking stuff!!

Sticks are fun, enjoy the site.

Wow skott, sounds like you're a proper spherculist.

I know this is pretty much a poi site at the moment, we're still 15 weeks young, eventually there will be many more diciplines around here.

Anything with that kinda sphercular movement, like coin manipulation or kung fu Sphism/smilesmiley

Take it easy,

Hi Skott! :wave: how you doin?

You're a busy guy with all that stuff, what sort of coin manipulation do you do? All I know of is rolling it betwen your fingers but I guess there's loads more yeah?!

Oh by the way I'm one of the many non-aussies here but I got family in Ararat near Victoria. I wanna go see em sometime but it's money you know, not a lot of it flows my way to make spare cash for forein holidays!

I sound like a proper spherculist? i'll take that as a complement, lol. Um, mostly rolling around fingers and that, i've just started doing it a little while ago but I haven't done to much on it, been practising with poi, wicked cool fun, feels awesome after you've just pulled off this mega trippy move and you get a rush from it, feels great. Don't know a great deal about poi, trying to do the 5 bt weave at the moment but yeah, i'll give some input were i can!

Oh yes, a compliment indeed Scott Sphism/smilesmiley
Oooh I know that feeling , its fantastic Sphism/gigglesmiley Keep it up man, I can't figure out to save my life the 5bt w reverse, but can occasionally pull off a 6bt forwards....which doesnt make sense... most reverse stuff came to me easier than forwards...hm.. who knows.
Concerning the 5bt, try watching http://www.spherculism.com/tutorials/weave/5btW_fwd_MV.html that vid of matt, and remember timing. Something that prevented me from pulling it off for quite some time, and I noticed that all the people I've taught it have had the same problem. And that is, after I would cross over to either side I wouldn't pull it back to the other side fast enough, as in I would do the twist and then just leave them there for an extra beat without realizing it so when I tried to cross over, well obviously it got tangled up. So try watching your hands and just as soon as you've got them in the correct twisted position, immediately pull 'em over. Good luck Sphism/smilesmiley
