Thought I'd say hello

Hiya

Hello everyone

Hello all, my name is Rochelle some people call me Rocky. I just joined this site earlier today. I am very impressed with what I have seen so far! I am huge on building the community to its highest yet. I would love to teach and be taught!

Same-time same-direction stuff

I always used to think chasing the sun was a pointless move and never really liked same-same stuff. I never could feel a good flow with it and really neglected all that can be done with this type of spinning. You can do pretty mucy all the butterfly and weave patterns with this except it's smae time. Why this never dawned on me is beyond me but I am quite obsessed with this stuff right now.

If only

This thread is a way for you to list a few things that you think could improve our world and thus increase world happiness a notch.. I put this here because some of these things may bepositive, negative, what have you... I just noticed that some minor and some not so minor things can go a long way.. and I'd like to hear people's ideas on things..

Could this be the sphercular solid?

Rheo sent me this link about a multi dimensional shape called...

Calabi-Yau

The link is here http://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~mbw/astro18200/dimensions.html

and this is what the shape looks like, which to me looks like some spinning in some uber-trinity style...

Chutney's New Stuff

As is the done thing now I'll use this thread for all new stuff I get -

This week- Throws!

I've discovered I'm a bit of a throws junkie, and last night at Spitz I really worked with my same direction catches. A few variations are-

Cat eyes, unit circle, hybrids, composites, and a relational model of poi

So I've posted this on a few other forums and have a simulation up on youtube. I figure it would be good to post here as well.

Changing the poi sections?

The current setup of sections is based upon Matt's original video categories and seems a bit off - some sections are extremely underused (e.g. the freestyling one) and some are exceedingly narrow (e.g. the under the leg one).

Anyone else think we could arrange them a bit better? Something like

Ey whos from cornwall, if any?

hi there

in the last 4-5 years i put all my energy in mastering poi moves. some days ago i asked myself.... "and what about staff???" So I bought a nice firestaff and started to practice. it s really really interesting... now i m attached to my staff (and of course to my poi).

Whats up

Isolations r whre it is at!

In south africa there are not enough spinners, in Cape Town where i am we have a group called firetribe, they do corporate functions etc, but thats it.
