Just re discovered this old contact poi video of Cyrille.

Enjoy

Cyrille - Melting Poi

World class contact poi from the legendary Cyrille. Was lucky enough to go to one of his workshops at ejc 2008 in Karlsruhe, back when he was more hairy Sphism/smilesmiley

Lots and lots of great poi inspiration in this video.

Problem with 5 beat weave

Hello

I know how to do the move but i'm having problems keeping it consitant. think i doin the move correctly but for me to do it i have to raise my my hands and arms when i crossing over. usuall just under level with my head.

Not sure this correct. But it's the only move i'm not 90% conifdent with my fire poi.

Crossing over arms side to side in a loop

"Like" a horizontal tangle when u switch ur arms ovr being, top, botom,top, botom. (as though u wher turnin round if u no what i mean)

backwards thread the needle??

its really annoying me....i keep trying to do thread the needle but with poi going the other way but i cant do it!...any advice?

Horizontal Hyperloops

Who here has managed 2 conquer anything funky with horzontal hyperloops?

I'v managed to do a wrap thing round my chet and sort of keep it goin the other way, and continualy swap what hands on top every 2/4 spins how about any1 else????

Hyperloopy things

Ok, bare with me, because it may not sound like but I can actualy do quite a load of random tangley stuff, except the butterfly ones, most of them confuse the hell out of me.

But.

Tangle Diagrams

So i finished these diagrams at last, only started them about a year ago, then completely forgot, woops,

anyhoo i've already written this post once and somehow managed to not post it. That was about a week ago now.

Well, how do you like the look of these diagrams, granted they aren't quite right yet, there may be some duplication, but i think they could be useful.

Double Throws

No - we are not Juggling !

What you can do with double throws:

Definition: Throwing both Poi so that they are both at the same time in the air

""""driving-style"""" hybrid flower

Subject O: define "driving-style" hybrids

negative space and framing

what is this all about can someone explain this to me i like it i bet it has a nice effect

Comments and discussion of the Spherculist Manifesto

Keep in mind this is a first draft. I don't have the time right now to fine tune it as much as I want. I wanted to get something out for you guys now. This just seemed to keep dragging on and on and on and on. I've only begun to dabble in the fun stuff, and apart from theory, I haven't moved this much further than what was in poi goes punk.

NEW Freestyle vids....

Edit : I've upated all these videos because people were having lots of troubles viewing them. They are now all mov files and can be found in the gallery.

Hyperloop transitions without using wraps

I do some hyperloops to get from a weave to a butterfly but cant figure out how to go between butterfly, weave and corkscrew (in any combination) without using wraps. Wraps look good but it would be nice to know some 'clean' transition moves.
