@skaterkingpin - firedancing is almost never competitive. most of us do it for relaxation and fun, even if we are paid professional dancers. If you found double staff easy, that's real cool 'cos we'll have something new to watch and learn from soon (I hope). If you want to be 'better' with poi or staff, you're probably out practicing right now and i shouldn't be bothering you haha

I love ya Banyan! You have been a great inspiration to me as I have been exploring the double staff after many years of spinning poi. Your lessons at playpoi.com have been a great help as well as watching you perform. Oh...LOVE MY BANYAN PANTS!!
