hey this is a great idea! I struggle with stalls. I can do them, but I can't do it as well as I'd like. Ima start using the finger method of yours here. =) I luv ur vids... plus you're a total cutie *blush* ;-)
@lBaseJumpersl This is a tutorial on how to perfect your stalls in poi. You may have seen poi done as fire twirling. Feel free to research poi til your heart is content.
Hahaha, I talk rubbish from start to finish. Thats the way I structure my videos, but what I meant by that was that in the vertical stall gravity will be pulling your head down.
So if its a downward vertical stall and you don't do it perfectly it won't really matter, it offers maximum leeway.
Vertical upstalls offers much less leeway because the poi will waggle a bit as gravity pulls it down.
A horizontal stall will get pulled to the side of the way it wants to go, making it harder. ^_^
Hey, I'll do that coz I've been struggling a lot in stalls, isolations and changing planes. I guess I have to give more time in practice rather than trying to learn the new tricks, coz that'[s what I've been doing these past few months... hehehe! I still suck!
Practice is all there is to it. Isolations take ages, stalls take a while to get perfectly clean. I'll never be happy with mine, theres always places to improve, even if nobody else can tell.
I'd leave plane changes until you're fairly comfortable with stalls. Good luck!

great tutorial..
I'm practicing them to include in any routines- really helpful.
But you do talk some crap 'slight difference in gravity'.. Made me smile.
