Sh*t Spinners Say

Following the “Sh*t X say” meme, this Tongue in cheek video is poking fun at Spinners, from the Vulcan crew of…err spinners.
Brilliant.
“Do it again, only less sh*t.”
We’ll add: “Faster with less control.” “Do you know G?”, “Can you do that Anti-spin?” is the new, “Can you do that isolated?” is the new, “Can you do that BTB?”
So who is going to make “Sh*t contact jugglers say?”

POICLOCK

The POICLOCK! Brought to you by Yuta, the epic poi spinner, poicommunity.com and other people of awesome whom I know not.

Check it out in HUGE format on this page: poicommunity.com/poiclock/

POICLOCK was inspired by UNIQLO’s uniqlock which is a sort of fashion show and contemporary dance clock.

It’s pretty sweet, if you embed the POICLOCK on your page (or the WORLD POI CLOCK when it arrives) you get the time and random awesome poi videos and it links back to Yuta’s site and you can view it on a map along with everyone else who has embedded the POICLOCK and then click chase poiclocks all over the world! Sweet.

Meg made this video for Keith a while ago and it should have been up here a lot sooner…

Keith just showed up at The Vulcan today before the Firedrums Festival in Northern California on May 19th-22nd to teach poi workshops.

Partner poi training video from the wonderful Loooop. Very nice folk, who have a cute act involving underpants, well worth seeing live if you get a chance.
We must have watched this about 20 times now, it definitely deserves a wider audience.
Thank you, François, Hanna, Tina & Thomas.
