How does Nick do that thing at 1:57 ish, where he swings the poi behind him paralell to the ground, and then stalls them to go back forwards. That seems IMPOSSIBLE.
i had the same problem start to work on the one he does does at :48 it gives you a really good concept of where they can go and how you can stall them
im starting off with the strings taped over the tennis balls & doing just the way this video is doing it, and it don't feel right, I dunno if im training myself right,
I can see this being easier with the sock style poi but it seems like it would be a challenge to get light weight led poi to do this, i donno I will have to work on it. He is so graceful though!
You are SO amazing! and SUCH a good teacher, i love how you repeat the move when showing. Thank you so much for giving me more poi freedom! stalls are so much fun! I want to see you spin for real, and I would love to come to one of these classes!!!!! amazing! xxx
Excellent stalls Nick. You make it look easy given your many years of practice. But it is true, stalls do open doors to chain reactions. Like the new video effects you have going on as well. *~P.L.U.R.~*
when you make a cube with your stalls you should sing "im in a box, im in a box, everybody look at me cause im standin in a box" hehe i don't know how many ppl will get that
im very surprised at the quality of nick's videos now. they wer always good, but they have met a new level of professionalism that i did not think a poi video could match
3D spinning and plane mastery is definitely integral to spinning 'in the round' to an audience as nick succinctly put it. I know personally I have to break myself of spinning in front of a mirror for too long or else my performances will be un-duly 2D :)

You're such a huge help Nick. I've been spinning for over four years now and you always have something that makes me better. :D
I dont know if you use meltdowns. I've never seen you use them, but you should make an instructional vid for thoes that would like to know
As always, keep it chill

I had just started working on something like this but the cubing. that's a great way to align my mind with the concept.
