good tutorial, but, you couldnt put a shirt on??

[NathanielEverist]

@shtoyshted Yeah, sorry, it was really hot when I made this video. I don't take my shirt off unless I have to, because I don't wanna blind anybody with my reflective skin or make anybody feel nauseas. I'm gunna remake all these old tutorials as soon as I figure out how to use my freaking camera, and I promise I'll keep a shirt on as much as possible.

[sniffydank]

yea i noticed it hurts a bit in the shoulders...

alright thanks for help dude, hopefully you can make the tutorial for it!!

[NathanielEverist]

Cool I've made it now, I've just gotta render it and make it youtube ready.

@shtoyshted

whats wrong with his shirt being off?

The human body is beautiful, there is nothing to be ashamed of.

[y3llow5ub]

@Arriss3

poi tutorials are some much more interesting topless....

[messie21]

@NathanielEverist You shouldn't have to apologize for being comfortable and natural when you spin your poi, or make poi tutorials. Spinning poi shirtless is the only way to spin poi, unless a shirt is required for whatever reason! Either the person is jealous because they aren't comfortable enough to or can't be shirtless in public, or their trolling. Just disreguard such rude comments, and be comfortable with your natural self. Comments like shtoyshed's irritate me because they are unnecessary

It looks like you're a yedi with awsome lightsaber skills! It looks so cool, but so hard to learn.

i dont know,... a lot of people say the crossers look "stupid" or weird, i cant really share that sentiment, not only is it a very useful move for, as you said, transitioning, it also opens up the possibillity of playing the Poi closest to your body as it can get. And in combination with pirouettes and weaves it looks sweet.

But i cant get it for the love of me, always keep hittting my face badly

[pamipoi]

I, for one, think you should do all your video without a shirt...just sayin'.

[NathanielEverist]

@Deaf258 I dunno man, I think I'll always want something between my manhood and searing hot metal. But for the most part, you're right, the worst burns are usually from burning or melted clothing.

[Deaf258]

@Arriss3 Ditto! Shirtless makes it more fun! Honestly, I think it is much safer to spin fire in the nude than spin fire wearing clothes.
