Hello there!
I started mucking around today after just looking at my mates glow poi! I rammed some juggling balls in some ski socks and tenderised my testicles for an hour. Then i used a flip-flop as a cod piece, problem solved
I'm raaabbish but its lots of fun so far, the instruction videos are mental!! I'll be very proud if i can just rise to the dizzy heights of beginner!
My hobbies include music, games, reading (the usual etc) and kung fu.
Looking forward to some serious spinning in the future  |

Excellent! mm dont tempt me with biscuits ive only just kicked the habit
Any hints for improving my lack of finesse in my left hand? I know practice will help lots but im wondering if anyone knows of a secret exercise eg holding ones cup of tea with the left hand instead of the right?
Warm welcome much appreciated
(coi, you cannot be worse mate!) |

I am responsible for Mcphattys intro to poi, and his rubbish skills as I am poor at teaching (and spinning) but hopefully all will improve with time!
