Poi Lesson 8 - The Buzzsaw

[lavendr5tar]

nick you must have really long arms, I cant understand how you do this without shortening the poi! awesome!

[jade4cows]

After hitting my self in the face, I shortened my strings...I wish I'd read the comments first!

[cyanatelolwut]

shorten the poi then it doesn't hit you

[katie1367]

gotta agree with the boobs getting in the way. plus i have short arms.. not a good combination

[biblicalvermin]

made this move for the first time the other day thewn got distracted and smached myself in the face and split my eyelid but igot it.

[multuminparvo]

This is so much harder than it looks...

[LunaEnya]

Dont think im gonna try that one... I'd bash my eyeball out XD

[deathshore]

It took me 10 minutes to learn this trick! Great tutorial for beginners like me. Thanks!

[BeicoPdd]

if you hit your boobs, try doing upside your head.

[ChainsawMASSACRE101]

Is poi incredibly hard to do? Cos I'm thinking of starting.. And I was messing with my mates the other day and she told me I could be really good if I practiced.. /:

[AlexxisPlata]

@ChainsawMASSACRE101 no actually its alot easier than it looks after a day or two... well for me it was, im 13 so its probably not gunna be hard for you...

ive been doing it for less than a week and i learned 2 beat weaves, 3 beat weaves, butterfly, spirals, and a little bit of stalling.... it looks intimidating but its not all that hard once you get the hang of the strings..

[pranksterprince15]

it is a bit frustrating but once you get the basics, the rest does come a bit easier, basics are always the hard part but moving along will get easier as you go been spinning for 5 months and im decent

[skateerkid99]

@ChainsawMASSACRE101 nah its not to hard ive been doing it for about 2 weeks and im already pretty desent

[DeadPool2995]

when i do it it reminds me of catching fish!

[beanie0852]

im only just starting to use poi but finding your lesson clips very useful. cheers. will post clips of my own soon as i get better. still very helpful. thanks again.

[balusita66]

nick, can it be that my poi is too long, or that my arms are toshort for this, or am i just bad at it...?

[BlueSkysie]

try changing the length of the poi to which it is most comfortable for you, you can always try making the poi quite short, then expand as you get more comfortable with the move :)

[Itagaki32]

can someone tell me what is that

[loveandbullets07]

shorten your poi chain/sock to learn this one so you don't repeatedly hit yourself in the face.

[0Shebulba0]

lol i learnted that the HAAAAAAAARD way xD

[BurnforYou96]

Bahhhh! I want to see you with some glowsticks, it'd be soooo sick.

[karatekid951]

this is really easy like i almost got in like 30 secs

[ajcnatsnok]

OMG i have cheafs poi I can t do it ;/

[petitemorte6]

i know the feeling.. sometimes i hit my boobs when i do this...

[emomandapanda]

BAH. I do too. D:

[lunascarf]

I have really short arms, and I too have boobs that get hit, so I use sock poi with a ball handle and before I do this move I put my fingures up, grip, and pull the fabric down to shorten it abit. Then when I'm done I just let the fabric slid with the momentum.; hope this helps you some.

[KronoSGamer]

lol... I get scared when I do this, I keep thinking im gonna get hit again o_O

[Pr1ncessAnime]

I'm kind of sad.. I think i have too big boobs for this lol

[kalrog123]

@Pr1ncessAnime just shorten your poi a bit and raise your arms a bit more :P i like doing the buzzsaw against my face while leaning back. I wrap my poi once and a half time around my hands to do this one.

[BlueSkysie]

@kalrog123 (new acount) thank you for trying to help, but ive figured this out now and yes, its definetly the way to go about it, I think as a women i hope there wont be other moves that will be as problematic for me as this one! thanks :)

[satansmusic2009]

@Pr1ncessAnime show me you boobs ill be the judge of that

[BlueSkysie]

@satansmusic2009 hmm, how about f*ck off yank? ^_^

[Inadvertant]

@Pr1ncessAnime try letting the poi wrap around your fingers a few times before going into the buzzsaw, or you can use shorter poi. A lot of females I know that spin poi (and spin poi well) lean backwards slightly, putting their breasts at a more upward angle and lower their arms, allowing even more room for the poi to spin.

[taylr4516]

@Pr1ncessAnime my boobs are in the way too!! and mine are not even big. i guess this trick isn't for girls lol

[CrazedStalkerFan]

@Pr1ncessAnime haha I have flowtoys and it hurts when I hit the nips.XD I usually shorten them when I'm doing this

[lancevance47]

note to self- socks stretch.

[XSOOOflyX]

I keep hitting myself in the face. It's either my poi are too long, or my arms are too short. Either way, it's kind of funny to be hit in the face by a pair of balls. Haha.

[lord341]

ive been doin poi for about 5 years and i have never seen that trick keep up the great work u rule

[24puravida]
