Poi Spinning Lesson: 4-Beat TTN and Butterfly Weaves (Advanced)

[nUcLeArOuTcAsT]

hell ya man I was looking for somewhere to go with threading the needle

[crazybmx14]

i would really like these vids to be hd. it's hard to tell which is in front and which is in back when your demonstrating the cross armed thread the needle

[QueenofTomatosauce]

its more difficult like it looks like x.x ... ouch

but i practise practise practise^^

thanks for lessons!!

[johntj4420]

how do i get the dvd



[Rstil666]

WHERE DO U GET YOUR AWESOME PANTS

[MasterSplinterP1]

for the split time ttn my poi keep getting tangled when i try to cross them over or it gets wrapped on my arm, are you skipping a beat when you cross?

[Bigdicknik]

Nick must be the poi master by now.

[9jubjubs]

I am just getting out of basics (well what you define as basic :P) and this is great. I always thought butterfly was a bit limited and this looks like it turns it into a great way to move around :D

[feeleze241]

It's sickening just how easy you make this look :)

I'm in love with these videos :D x

[xDonKringelx]

You fuck our mind!

(man, you're awesome!!)

[TheFlag999]

You are really great! i just started training with my poi ( chain with fire) and thought i ´d know some good tricks but what i´ve seen in your vids just broke my sight of things xD

i tried out some tricks i´ve seen from you and my body is now covered with blue "marks" sorry bad english but i do my best^^ - but i go on trying all of this looks so impressive, plz go on posting lessons! greetings from austria!

[ITANAGAR12345]

i can do the 3-beat weave only.. and i feel proud of myself as none of my frnd can do even that..but i want to learn even more but they are tough. my muscle memory is really weak

[cheerfan01]

so this is how it's done (i mean the 3 beat butterfly) cool!!!!

[estyron27858]

I think this is my favorite video. Everyone should poiticipate. Thanks for making me smile.

[nas07d]

hes on a boat

[fatalaijone]

he is always dress like' chiness

[fetish2020]

help! i cant turn while the poi is moving! its not moving with my body instead my body moves then the poi stays in the same place where its spinning then hits me! :(

[Shamaria26]

porfavor!!! cundo videos en español??? y que pasa con las cariocas???

[JugAChave]

oh im sure they all smoke the herbs!! yess yess

[blipoop1]

love this video, the end is hillarious!! he's so amazing with poi, i somday want to be that good

[Grzywa1988]

nice dream :)

[LadyGingechilla]

I love this video - The end made me smile... a lot :-D

(Diggin' into the website)

[vidbrowser111]

he looks a lot like my history teacher.

[crazyme18364899]

great video! thank you very much! im trying to get some new moves to try with fire and i think this will work really well!

[falehalho]

I really like this stuff. I am a middle aged womean who loves art and belly dance, and this seems like a great way to have fun, make art and exercise your upper body.

[Inspirational226]

it really is! I'm a mom, & my kids & my husband & I have so much fun! We usually only use L.E.D. glow balls, but sometimes we use fire, you should try it! You can get a really sturdy set of glow poi online for a good price & it is so worth it! One of the best spinners I've ever met was a lady who must have been 60 or older & she was awesome!

[violent22angel]

kool deal!!! i can thread the needle when it's going down but i'm gonna have to try it the underhand way!!!!

Thanks for the instructions!!!!!

[LemonCurd99]

i've just started doing poi and your vids have helped sooo much :D

-x-o-

[ifuckmice]

they wont stop helping either...ever

[nothinggo911]

I was watching some of your vids, and I gotta a question for you (well not exactly about this vid). Why did you take away the backwards 5-beat weave and behind the back 5 beat weave vid? (I was learning that man!!!)

Anyway, you really rock, almost everything that I know came from your lessons... THANKS! =D

[meenik]

Yes, good question. I took down a few videos because I want people to have some incentive to buy the DVD. Also, people will complain in they buy the DVD and find out that all the videos were online for free. I'm still mulling it all over so maybe I"ll put them back up. Somehow I need to start making enough money to have a home! :)

[d3dreaper]

Yea but even if they are all online for free you still can't beat the quality of a dvd in the fact that you could slow it down and study it much better than on youtube... But I get what you mean as well :D Hope to see you in the US in what?? Next year you'll be allowed to come into the US, right?? lol Love the Art you create!! :D

[miceskin]

@meenik I think you should perform for some big shows your way too good to just do dvds.

[Partyywizard]

Nick you rock dude!

[BotsoAustin]

damn you got a funny voice but shit by far the best person at throwing ive ever seen let me take you to a rave so you can show off

[ifuckmice]

somehow i dont think he'd be a big raver :P

[L0rneUnborn]

why?

[ifuckmice]

look at him, hes a hippy

[L0rneUnborn]

Sorry- I guess that logic escapes me.

[sugarbunny336]

IDK about that, somewhere theres a video where he looks like he might be having...more fun than you could...sober. lol. but I might be wrong.

I don't remember where it is though but it's on his videos

[loveandbullets07]

awesome shit! i wanna get these down soon since i can do the basic pre-reqs

[Immaruka]

OMG the ending was harlarious!!!! "And maybe some day I'll have a computer and a home."

ah! hugs nick!

[drapersk801]

ive just read the whole thing on your playpoi page, and its very sad you cant come to the usa until 2010. but i would love to know, when you do come back, would you be comming any where near texas?:)

[Aziza243]

[tomafire]

Nice vid!

[juanezxcore]

SYLPA!!!!

[ThisismyInheritance]

Nick.

You are an incredible poi spinner and an incredible teacher. The last four months have contained a tremendous amount of inspiration and development for me, and I owe much of it to you.

I remember watching this video in december, having worked on 4-beat TTN's for quite a while with very little progress (quite a frustrating trick to learn for me), and I nailed it immidiately after watching this. You really have a gift for teaching this art of ours :)

Peace and love from Sweden!

[fee91man]

amen 2 that

u are a brilliant teacher

u have taught me everything i know :)

[pysauno]

those clothes are quite ridicoulous... and so is your hobby..

[chrissi06]

thats rude of you to judge him like that. thats what he does and thats what he likes. whats the problem with that?

[bajer00]

No i gitara

[bajer00]

Trzeba sobie jakos radzic ;] urazily Cie jakos moje komentarze? Z pewnoscia to nie sa "grube ponczochy" ;p ... pozdro

[drozdosiaqPL]

Pisząc grube pończochy chodziło mi o to, że to skarpety ze śliskiego grubego materiału. Nie, jakoś nie czuję się urażona Twoimi komentarzami;)

pzdr

[bajer00]

What kind of POI is in this film, is it usually SOCK POI or may be another ??? Can somebody give me the website page , where I can order this kind because it is sure fantastic !!! answer, please ;)

[drozdosiaqPL]

bajer, rozumiem, że chcesz się dowiedzieć jakich poji używa Nick (nawiasem ja też chcę:), ale czy to co Ty robisz to nie jest jakiś rodzaj spamu? Chyba lepiej by było do niego napisać i o to spytać, no chyba że się wstydzisz:P

Ja tam uważam, że jego poje to coś w stylu grubych pończoch, tylko że z gotowymi uchwytami.

Jak się czegoś dowiesz to napisz:)

~~~~~~~~~~

Anyway... cool video as always:]
