they look like a b*tch to learn. Do you actually move your wrists? Or does the torso movement do it all?
Whats the difference between a crosser and a straightjacket? (no, no punchline, actual question).

your torso does it all i think as your wrists dont really have much room to move. a crosser is just your arms crossed over your chest a straightjacket is basically the same except yours arms are proper threaded through each other so instead of your right/left arm bein under an armpit its on the outside of your shoulder if that makes any sense at all??

Lol, it makes sense but I don't even think my arms can do that!

you will be able to do it the thing that confuses me how the hell do you get ur poi to follow your arm without cathchin?? only ever seen one person do it and that was on a video.

I just tried a crosser, couldn't manage to stick both my arms to myself so one was out a bit, but you have to kind of roll with it, like you're boxing maybe(???)

I started swinging both my poi after I'd crossed my arms, and then got into the movement. But this is like, the first day I've attempted it :P

Tell me if you make any progress. Maybe do one of your fabled youtube videos?

Did you manage to find a bit more space then? you've got such a fluid rhythm, it'd be nice to see you less restricted!

Ahhh Felixwah, you brighten up my day heh. yeah, I have stupid lightfittings, so when it's windy I have to go in the garage which is just a hazard area and usually has a car in it. Grim! Especially when its getting into winter like it is.

With your blazin lightsticks makes sure you can see a lil' bit of you. I always find it spoils the video a bit if you cant see the actual moves that are being made, and it's just a mess of whizzing lights lol.
