Some breakdance, or some poi ? Maybe both...

Salut !

Here are two videos I think you will like to watch :twisted:
(right-click / "save target as" is better)

:arrow: Inhuman (look how people can sometimes be inspired by music to move their body) :

I never saw someone dancing like that before...

:arrow: Awesome (see what you can do with one handed butterflies and releases) :

I really like those kind of "new school" moves, such as matt's, or bluecat's. They make your mouth stay opened. It's a brain shock, and then you have to admit that really exists !

Enjoy

Thanks for the links dude (do people mind my use of 'dude'?- I don't really know why I use it, but I do- any objections let me know and I won't Sphism/winksmiley)

I've seen the tech poi b4 (who is that guy?)- nice spinning, especially switching to one hand for a turn then back to two- much to commend and think about.

The dance vid is great Sphism/gigglesmiley I love that stuff.

I can't help thinking it would be very difficult (but if possible very impressive) to combine the 'angular' jolty movement of that form of dance with the fluid continuous nature of poi and other spinning disciplines. I know we have wraps, stalls etc at our disposal, but I don't see an easy marrying of the two (not that I don't want toSphism/smilesmiley)

Someone prove me wrong! Please!

Chut (this is my 100th post- hurrah!)

OnewheelDave does technical poi. That guy is really cool, he does like everything, and he's good at it all too.
I'll be checking out the other video soon, since it's in a proper format and all.

I've seen the technical poi vid before, but it's no less incredible for that. Sphism/gigglesmiley

And I have yet to figure out how people manage to move their bodies in all these crazy ways...although it's something I'd love to learn at some point.

Howdoo Mathias and all

Thanks for posting them! Being on a really crappy computer, I cannot view them as of yet, but in a few days I shall be back on a slightly less crappy computer, so I'll see them then. Post more afterwards, thanks again!

-Poikid-

Chut, if one day you manage to combine both with elegance, I won't be atheist any more ! Sphism/winksmiley

mathias

Its on the agenda, but I doubt you'll see any results for quite a while just yet Sphism/smilesmiley

Chut

The dancing was cool. Not the kind I was expecting though. I wonder how that could be done with poi....

Apparently "dude" is another name for a whale's penis.

Erk!

Chut (to dude or not to dude..)

Duuude! I'm from California.

As for possible other definitions of dude... [checking my pants]... Duuude!

dude is also supose to mean a pimple on a cammals ass. Not sure where that came from.

Funny thing is I'm probably the last person you'd expect to use 'dude' I reckon- just found its way into my dialect and "tada!"

A whale penis, then this- I'm not sure I want to keep using dude now Sphism/smilesmiley

Chut

Thank you Mathias for these videos !!

Funny... I thought dude meant an elephants butt in technicality. I tend to use it just like "hey dude get over here" or something.

Mathias, I saw technical poi but haven't seen the other one just yet. Loooved it, that guy is wikkid!

time to put my english degree to good use. the word 'dude' in the sense that most of us use it, was first coined by Oscar Wilde and his friends. It was a mixture of duds(as in clothes) and attitude. therefore him and his mates were dudes.

Party on dudes

Well thanks for the clarification Lostsurfer Sphism/smilesmiley

Welcome to Spherculism BTW- maybe you might introduce yourself in the introductions thread?

Hope to see you about,

Chutney :57

A whale's penis is not a "dude" its a "dork" (which is why dork is a derrogitory word).

technical poi won't work... can anyone upload it?

holla mathias can´t download it error message it saidthe file doesn´t exist anymore :cry: want to see that any helping solution Sphism/confusedsmiley: :cry:
peace and light

yah i thought dude was a camels penis...
