Poi: Unexpected Interview

http://playpoi.com - Fimed by Camilla Griggers in February, 2005. Nick was unsure on whether to release it or not, as he's a bit shy. It really was a very unexpected interview, and was shot very early in the morning, just after a weekend of poi workshops, and just before Nick had to catch his plane. He doesn't always look like this.

I no exactly wat your talking about man, there have been times when i have been alone for hours and hours and have not put down my poi's and i seem to reach this indescribable state were i feel just that little bit closer to discovering some of the universes secrets. I feel like i am vibrating on a different level of conciousness. It's so rad dude i am addicted to Poi.

Wow..... very inspiring, nick is the man!

[XxprincesskesslerXx]

i agree, ver inspiring.. i picked this up about 2 years ago, life got in the way about a year ago but i have not forgotten what ive learned and still practice regularly, im starting to pick up new things and i know what you mean in this video, i have the same when im really into it, i get lost and find things i never thought of... this has done more than keep me in shape and do cool things, im at peace when there in my hands

[Orchidlover3]

What poi is he using in this video are they from flowtoys?

[cfraves]

what poi/ glowsticks are you using

[Rammstein2720]

@stevenlindsay77 Oh my god it's so true. I should add this interview on to my research paper. I love poi so much I decided to do my paper on it. And that mental state would be the mental state of "flow"

[Sk8rzig]

it sounds like you've taken a trip to a psychoactive state on more than one occasion :P  does nick take LSD? lol it sure sounds like it

[CsLillith]

Nice touch with the glow gloves; almost as cool to watch your hands move as the poi themselves.

Thanks for the insight.

Happy spinning!
