hi there Kat,
impressed with progress in one weekend. After my first couple of days I had learnt that if you continously hit the same place again and again, it can really start to be very painful...!!!!!! |

nah i like it too much i dont mind the odd burn here and there i think the solution is to stop smoking whilst spinning! smoking and contact staff dont mix too well either  |

If only poi had a cigarette holding device on the side...or someone invented a pocket ashtray, that would be cool but don't put your change in it..Ewwwww!
Takeouts on butterfly's let you work on reels better I think, gives you a little practice with the behind the back/shoulder motion of the poi....
EDIT
Rembered something funny, my boyfriend got hit and couldn't walk for like 3 days, he sat in the hallway whining like a puppy. Now he puts his baseball cap down his pants....ewwww again!! Im not wearing that hat! |
