Felixwah is my idol. He runs poi-heaven.
Welcome to the site and get asking questions, sometimes you'll be working on something for ages and someone will say a couple of words to describe an action and BAM, you'll understand it finally!

The best bit for me, is not having to pay to do it! It seems you have to pay for everything nowadays! It keeps the exitement there for me!

Hi there!
I'm new too, just got started last week but I've learned a few tricks already.

I studied 2 years in Manchester.. does that count? LOL. I'm hoping for a trip back to the UK but now I"m in Los Angeles, CA.

Happy Spinnings!
