@AWOLLA Cheers, I think that's one hand doing a pendulum stall, while the other hand just does a spiral shotgun (only one hand spirals). You're going to be at Spinfest, right?
Lovely lovely movements... u are really awesome dude! I really enjoy all of your videos! And... I want to thank u 'cause your videos help me with my pois practice! Greetings from Mexico! :P
omg you are so amazing. your iso work is to die for. i have been learning form your videos and i can only hope that some day im as good as you. how long have you been spinning? and thank you for all of your work you put in to the lession videos. they ve really helped me alot
cindy told me about u when shes came back to Malaysia. well, i watch d video of u spinning fire and thats cool doin some tricky tricks under d leg! anyway, love d video. awesome though. i need to update some latest freestyle spinning! :)
keep on spinning brother, and thanks for the contact juggling tutorial mate!
awww so good to see u again.it looks as if ur style has changed quite a bit.
i like it! ^_^
it seems more flowy lol.*that should be poi terminology lol.
super clean i really like it.ive learned quite a bit but i seem to have reached a point and now im stuck there.i need to discover something new quick.lol
its annoying me that i havent improved in like 2-3 months.u should post videos more often.they inspire me to get better always
Absolutely!!! Really enjoyed this! Tons of fresh nice moves!!! Really clean too!!!!! Love the incline effect to! was a bit odd at 1st! Great video! Only thing is, you've got white poi, and a white shirt...and in the 1st angle, the backdrop is quite bright making hard to see what you're doing, but that's video comment, not poi comment! Great video, loved it! xXx
@britishogo Yeah, I didn't realise that at the time of filming, the next one will definitely not be backlit, that's my bad. I should know better than to do that by now. lol
Love the plane-shifting fakeout at 0:19--I'm totally stealing that ;) Also dig the recurrent theme of stopping one hand in the midst of a pattern while the other hand continues. It creates a nice kind of disjointed symmetry if that makes any sense.
@TaoAvatar20 Thanks bro! Feel free to use whatever you like in this video, I consider that a massive compliment from somebody as tech-savvy as yourself. Yeah, I've been messing around with patterns "freezing" one hand midway though does create a nice effect.
The isolation work from 1:12 to 1:22 is amazing. Particularily the sequence from 1:19-1:21. I also see you flowing with the 1 handed spiral action. A very niice :P
Great video man! I just noticed this today...but your first poi video almost has 80,000 views. You are ridiculously popular lol
@Insignia Cheers man, that means a lot coming from you. 80,000 views? That makes me cringe, those original videos have aged badly. This summer I'm gunna remake them all. I'm just snowed under with studies at the moment.
Awesome video. It's nice to see a new video from you, your flow is amazing. A particular favorite of mine in this video is the BTB weave that turned into a 1 handed weave then back to BTB, that was pretty sick.
On a side note: Your spiral wraps weird me out every time. Don't get me wrong they look great, I just can't fathom spiraling down on my wrist/forearm instead of my hands (every time I try, they don't spin back out evenly)
@alienwrkshop51 Mike Icon does his spiral wraps like this, too. Totally trips me out, but it's not more difficult to do with practice than the around the hands approach is. I don't think it's doable to transform it into an infinite spiral wrap with the forearm approach, though.
@TaoAvatar20 You're right, you can't do infinite spiral wraps up the forearm with just one arm. You can do one-handed infinites if you wrap the hand and close your hand around the poi when they're wrapped, trapping them at that super-short length. If it's up the fore-arm you can even use your other hand to hold the wrapped poi at the shortened length, but I don't know why you'd choose to do that.
@alienwrkshop51 Ya, the one-handed spiral wraps aren't much more difficult than the two handed. In fact, when I first learnt one handed I used to do them so much more frequently that one day I tried a two-handed and found that I'd forgotten how to do it. It didn't take long to get better at it again, but I find one-handed easier now.
Awesome style! I never get tired of seeing you spin and I've learned a thing or two just from watching you.
Also, I was wondering if you could make a tutorial on turning with flowers, both regular and anti-spin? I've been having some trouble learning that on my own and no one around me knows how to do it either. It would be greatly appreciated :D
@thespidersintention Cheers, I love this song too, it suits spring really nicely. I'll make a tutorial for turning with flowers. I think I've already made one, it's just sitting on my computer. I've got loads of tutorials that're just forgotten about on my HDD.
@NathanielEverist *faked frustration* NO! *chuckling to myself* I tried with a homemade sock poi thingamajig. Nearly blacked my eye. I guess I'll have to invest in some headgear;-) really cool stuff though.
Wow. I am glad to see a new video out of you and I'm really impressed with this one, it's jam packed with nothing but top notch work! Please keep it up! Amazing isolation and freedom with your arms, two things I've been working on a lot.
The first camera angle really threw me for a loop at first because of the incline the camera was sitting on. Played tricks on my brain.
Thanks for all the tutorial vids too, I've come a long way and it's all because of helpful people like you :)
@tenkaris Thanks, that's so nice of you to say so! Yeah, It creates a weird effect having the horizon in the shot be parallel to the frame. Makes it feel like gravity is being weird. If you want your brain to really feel funny, find a climbing frame somewhere, hang upside down and spin. It feels really strange having gravity pulling the opposite direction relative to your body that your brain is trained to be coordinated in.
@tenkaris im in the same boat. i would be no where near as good as i am if it wasnt for the videos nathaniel has posted. keep em comin cause there is still so much i need to learn. thanks bro.
Another great video :) I really enjoy your channel, your tutorials are excellent!
