Hi Annette,

Sorry for the confusion, that's me!

The new set of lessons are going up under the advice tab very shortly. The reason for having to re-do the current ones first was because of issues with music copyright and video quality. Everything that could go wrong has gone wrong but they really are nearly ready!

Feel free to stick around, a message will go out when the lessons are being added.

Nick.

Ooh, I'm so looking forward to it. Right now I'm stuck at "basic stalls". ;-)

What do you mean by "basic" stalls?

I think she'll be referring to Nick's original tutorials on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7d3U5PdTbsE

Right, duh.

What do you all consider the non basic stalls then? I've thought about this before but I want to hear what you think before I start rambling. Or maybe it would be best to just go start a new tread in the poi category on the full spectrum of stalls. Any one care to joint me over there?

Start a new tread and I'll join you. I'm just trying to learn using the youtube-videos and waiting for the lessons to be available here instead. Right now there's a gap between lesson 5 and 8 on youtube so I only know how to do the three beat wave and the butterfly and maybe one more thing.

Go for it! It's something I'm working on quite intensely at the moment, so It'll be interesting to chat about.

Annette - You may want to check out Nick Woolsey's tutorials in the interim while our Nick's (if I may refer to him as that!) tutorials are still in production. The site's http://www.playpoi.com. He's a fantastic spinner - he tends to teach the benefits of tight wall plane work and flowers rather than the tech-poi a lot of people favour. It's his tuts from which I picked up a lot of the basics.

Nick Woolsey is an oasis of simple reason in a desert of poi confusion. He has been an inspiration to me for nearly as long as I have been studying the art of poi. His method of teaching and theories on poi are are truly masterful. No matter how many times I watch his videos, I always pick up new things that I hadn't noticed before.
