Captured after our excursion at the Fortress of Snarkitude and proof that I did spin poi at Burning Man.

An impromptu spin at the Nexus sound stage as we tracked our way back to society.

I love the cheeky up-down-stall-switchy-things (do they have a proper name? :P ) like at 0:53. They may well be my next goal :P

[tubularG]

@thetoobnoob Yup, they're called Stall Switches. You got it right the first time :)

I don't think the specific moves have been named yet but the concept is around in a couple of videos I've seen.

t'aimes bien les echelles moi j'aime bien bien monter er descendre surtout sous trippy funny a bientot

[tubularG]

@princessM0on Les echelles? Sont quoi?  Je connais pas encore touts les mots de vocabulaire poi en francias. Peut-etre c'est un autre mot pour les arrets?

[tubularG]

@JaxFlow You guys should check out some meteor spinning. I've gotten better at the triquetra/pendulum but it's still nothing compared to what meteor spinners do.

[machineagemaya]

such yum sauce G thanks for posting :}

[dropstuff]

Love it! Excellent ideas & beautiful as always. Dom

[tubularG]

@firemblemrules9 The first thing at 0:09 is In-spin stalls out and in again before heading off into Wall Plane flowers

The second thing at 0:39 is based on long arm weave, turning linking into huggies(crossers) and coming out again.

[tubularG]

No idea on the track name guys. We rocked up there randomly straight out of deep playa.

[Catalyst8D]

@tubularG or anyone please help identify this song. it sounds sooo goood! thanks

[coleydrew]

inspired

[MrCrystalMystic]

Track name?? Nexus is the name of the stage.. anybody.. help please!

[tdukesjr]

greatness

[daxed1]

I don't know what the first thing was, but the thing at 39-41 was just part of a body tracer, or it can be a variation of a crosser.

[firemblemrules9]

At 0:09-0:10 does anyone know what, if anything, it's called when he changes the direction of the poi to go in front and behind him parallel with his outstretched arms?

Also at 0:39-0:41 does anyone know if there's a name for what he does when he seems to do a weave, but under his armpit and wrapped over his shoulder.

These two moments seemed particularly impressive, although the whole thing was fantastic, and I was wondering if anyone had any tips or videos to help me learn them.

[Darkerweb12]

@tubularG I want to spin with you. You made me drool all over this keyboard, awesome repitoire and fantastic flow. Ever around the Midwestern US?

[FeiLiSha12]

He is so hot:)

[barnzee1]

his 360 anti-spins are so fluid

[customguitarspro]

[theempathogen]

I love the combination of a pink fedora (or is that a homburg or trilby? I'm bad with hat identification) with green harem trousers. Rock on.

[basilolo]

@fbcota And it's good, that there are still guys with professional equipment, who are just using it for fun :-)

[fbcota]

@basilolo. To each his own I guess. Sometimes when a pro videographer is having fun filming friends he simply plays around with the camera work and ignores the typical spinning trope of a boring wide shot. This wasn't filmed for the moves, or anything other then "hey, we were having fun".

[basilolo]

@mortsy Everyone seems to use 5DMKII recently. Maybe with a tripod or something it would be smashing awesome ;-) Thanks for response man!
