yeah, I've taken up poi as of... 9 days ago, which has all been fun! I only started because my friend bought me a set of cobras for my birthday.

I've progressed worryingly fast, to the point where I feel something is wrong...

but basically, I've pretty much nailed basics, and I'm able to flow between them (my recent accomplishments are: BW 3 beat, FW 5 beat, windmill, thread the needle, and the ability to switch between them all... I dunno, is that a good pace? I'm not too sure...)

anyway, it seems I love it (Parkour is my main passion) and want to continue for years to come!

oh, and I like to spell things correctly! Wink

AJ is our parkour man. He likes it too! Yes you are at a great place to be - i found TTN a hellish beast to master but you've got it in 9 days. Cheeky monkey heh.
Check out the tuition vids and keep spinning!

wow, I thought I'd get a "what's parkour?" reaction... but that's pretty cool...

and good to hear I'm on track, though I still know I've got a HUGE amount to learn, so I'll make sure that I never become complacent!

cool, thanks people. and I love the tuition videos, they work really well (I'm a very visual learner)

though I have to rename all the moves to make them seem a bit more masculine =P

I can't be doing with "butterfly" to "angle wings" to "halo"
no, for me it's "ring of fire" to "neck breaker" to "noose" Laughing

I LOOOOOVEEEEE Parkour...

But im not to good at it. I dont do the flippy side at all. I prefer more the running and climbing...

Tis all good fun though...

nice to see your doing well at Poi. And you have a thing about spelling too. :D

don't worry, I'll be around, I'm quite a forum dweller Laughing

yeah, can't flip at all, I'm quite a purist really (not through a deliberate decision, just that flips bore me!)

and yeah, poi seems quite a natural thing to me, though I've slowed down a lot in my progression so I can just clean up what I've got so far.

P.S. I'm not a grammar Nazi, I just... well... you'll see =P
