Dude wtf am I on about its not golf balls its tennis balls lol!

The sock gives you a springy feel and makes them easier to control. Kinda cuts you slack but they aren`t necessary, I practice with cords. The art isn`t in spinning them fast, its being able to go slow and controlled just like yoga. Speed means your doing things without exactly understanding what your doing.

Always try start on your sides and then go in the weave. Keep going on your sides and start again.

Oh yea its 2 Poi, one for each hand

It trains totally different part of the brain ...
Realize ... you are actually rotating a mini universe ...
U create the pull on objects in a frequency ....
More than just spinning stuff ...

i realize the value of it, as footbag employs much of the same. the bag is your universe, one needs all their concentration, bc their being fought against all the time, set up for failure. like most things, it's not about how it ends bc it will always end the same, THUMP, but the experience of how it got there. me trying to sound smart, like all you guys are so good at. haha

That was a great juggling video ginjawarrior but should have had some techno going with it =)

I started off with juggling for 3-5 months, I`m quite good at it too I can balance it on the back of my neck etc..

Then I got introduced to Poi and quit juggling alltogether. The advantage of Poi is the flow and the dance. Juggling is easier and more practical than poi in some manners.

The only thing the two have in common are "object manipulation" and "keeping the mind busy". I still like juggling and will juggle with whatever I find whenever, its a great handy thing to know =)

But Poi is freedom!

oh if it had of been my juggling it would have had some dirty trance playing

i started juggling beginning of 2000 spent 4 years practicing then didnt do anything for 6 years now i've been juggling a bit more the last year or so

some of the basic juggling tricks might be easy but in no way shape or form can you say its easier than poi lol and i never had a problem getting my balls to flow

i prefer staff for spinning i did that for about 2 1/2 years back when i was juggling i've done a bit of devil sticks, poi, contact juggling but my main 3 were
3 balls (tricks) 3 clubs and firestaff

but atm i havent got a staff or any nice juggling balls i would love some aerotech juggling balls but they're about £120 each

Nice collection you have there! I have my mid finger joints double jointed so I can`t do the staff finger spinning too well lol

I been doing poi non stop for over 3 years now. I love juggling too the only part it lacks is incorporating the leggy/dancy movements but staff should sure take care of that part

The more toys you learn the quicker you learn newer ones

if your doing staff properly most of it is between your thumb and index theres only one move where it goes thru all your fingers. my hands are pretty gnarled and i can still do it

i did a little bit of contact juggling i had a set of 3 of them so i could juggle properly with them i could never bring myself to spend much time doing the rollls it seemed more productive throwing them

Yea but that guy has the certain magic of bringing a massive W T F out of the "juggling daft" persons mouth. I love it!

Hmm, I'm going to have to try this next time I get some lsd. I'll probably just end up laying on the floor flailing my arms around like usual, but with more intentions lol

You can`t really learn while tripping its not worth it. Have yourself familliar so you can do about a 2 minutes without repeating yourself and it will bring new insights into that 2 minute session you have.

Also you don`t want too much lsd for this it requires good body mind coordination
