I was having a hard time with thread the needle, I just couldnt wrap my brain around the idea, then someone described the motion like pulling down your shirt sleeves and I got it!!!! Slide your hand down the top of your arm. Hope that helps you'll get it soon enough
Oh almost forgot take these thier good for the soul

My ADD makes it so that.....Ooooo SHINY.....wanna go ride bikes....wait....where am I.....

Posted: 10th Apr 2006
ahh you people are all so friendly!

well apart from the scary marmite fans but hey, it takes all sorts to make a world

I've tried threading the needle again and it's just not working. I came to the conclusion that i can't do giant butterfly inside the house because i smashed the light. My mother was not best pleased.

Instead i just managed to do the alternate butterfly but i can't get it swinging perpendicular to my back, it's kind of at an angle, so after trying for ages and smacking myself on the ass i grumbled a bit and had some rainbow sweet things.

If any of you guys are in the UK and are near Manchester at all over Easter then there is a fab event on that me and some friends are going to for our birthdays (3 of us have birthdays this week). It is the Secret Disco Connection thing; 2 secret Manchester locations on Sunday 16th April, 8pm to 6pm and the locations are connected by a Disco Bus, if anyone is interested.

You all seem to be party people and although i don't know if there will be room to poi there were lots of glowstickers at the last one (New Year) that we went to.

Either way, should be fun!

you would have to pick this weekend to visit the best city in the world* when a lot of us are either down in Fal, or getting ready for BJC, but hey thats timing for you. (and beyond your control)

If it is your birthday this weekend, you would do well to head further south for the weekend and go to the Falmouth 5 meet in Cornwall

to hop and don't be affraid to attend one of our wonderful manchester meets in the future, we are a nice friendly bunch, and dont bite (although some will on request)

YAY i actually managed to get through the exam and all that! Plus i ordered the Art Of Poi and COL2 DVD from here and got them a couple of days ago how i love this site!

Anyways managed a couple more moves. Like doing the mexican wave and doing it at hip level too, i forgot what that's called. And flowing those together. Aren't i cool

COL is so fab i wana play with fire now!!

But i've decided that when i master all the moves on the training dvd and can do some seamless spinning that i'll buy my fire set i'm being good.
