  • No five for you

  • my go this is so confusing. somehow I am spinning with my right backwards and when I try the "give me 5 from behind" it ends up forward. My brain hurts when I try to figure it out. T_T

  • haha. Fill it with Rice- much softer.

  • out of all the moves that give me trouble, this and flowers top them all D:

  • AGH!!! when one apple filled sock hits me the other just HAPPENS to come along with it

  • lol me too ^^

  • I drilled two holes is tennis balls and pulled rope through.

    Works really well. I also made sock poi which, in my opinion feel alot more natural.

  • alright, i posted this a month ago... i am SOOO much better now!!! i still have sock poi too, it just takes lots of practice and hitting yourself. For me it helps to turn your body a bit... after that try to spin like he does :)

  • is it still possible to do this without those hand loops?

    i just have a sock :(

  • Turning inwards gives you more range of motion than turning outwards.

    The trick is: the way your arms twist is reversed if you do this exercise above your shoulders.

    Think of your shoulders as a horizontal axis of symmetry.

    Hold your right arm straight out to your side. Twist it clockwise and counter-clockwise. Notice that below the shoulders inwards is like counter-clockwise, but above the shoulders it is like clockwise. Get used to both feelings, gain control and happy spinning!!
