Beginner Poi Spinning tutorial: Same Time Turns (Hip Reels)

[@JoeSpinstheGlobe]

These tutorials are awesome. Highly recommend watching on half-speed

[@ashleyedenfield7815]

*Great reel, **enjoyable.fishing** recommend very smooth and I love that you can change from left hand to right hand so easily. Gave it a 4 on durability because I haven’t had it long enough to rate it. Doing good so far.*

I have to say, I've been doing poi for several months now and every turning move tutorial I've seen has made no sense. I wish I'd had these videos earlier. They are by far the best and easiest to follow. Thanks so much!

[@playpoivideos]

These beginner videos are NOT on the DVD. The DVD Adventures in Poi is a compilation of advanced moves tutorials. The beginner videos are a separate project :)

[@PoisonClaws]

You are such a brilliant teacher!!! Thank you for that video! Got it first time and watched so many others without getting such a simple move. So happy :D

[@MacintoshTrombone]

I've gotta admit, I was hesitant at first. I made the mental connection with all the douchebag ravers of the 90s that I had to endure in my home town with the wide pants... but I have to appologise for my unfair preconceptions. These videos are fantastic. You explain everything in a way that makes perfect sense, which is more than I can say for most pay-for-lessons DVDs I've used for other things (like the guitar) and your videos show the moves incredibly clearly by people that understand the problems a newbie would have to overcome. These are some of the best lessons for anything I have seen on KZbin. Thanks, playpoi!

MacintoshTrombone YAY!

[@forgottnshadow]

i've been trying to get that down for days and it just suddenly clicked! you're awesome!

[@shockwa18]

You all make learning so much easier with these videos. Thank you for taking the time to really break down the moves. it makes all the difference. especially with demonstrations like this and the butterfly!! :)

[@Fdurett]

You guys and Yuta make this so much fun ty soooo much we go to the drum circle with our drums and Poi all the time but we are having so much fun learning Poi we arent even taking our drums tonight :)

[@pintsizedalchemist]

Nick, I love how over joyed you look when you do the forward reel past your toes! its brilliant :D

[@DeadOldLady]

Really enjoyed learning these turns!!!

[@ReiiMeii]

I love love LOVE your tutorials. You've made learning a breeze!

[@iamspidermonkey]

Just tried these! It works! Finally! I've learn how to do hip reels! YAY! Thank you so much!

[@amys531]

Thanks so much for these videos! I'm just getting started and you guys make it so easy to learn!! I'm having a great time!!!

[@Kayleigh93W]

It might be something to do with your confidence. How long have you been doing poi for? You need to remember to not be scared of them and just go with the flow. Sometimes it helps if you do it to music and go with the beat.

[@Choigoi]

So fun to play with and great for stress relief... Thank you guys so much

[@claytonrothenbuehler2262]

Love the very helpful videos, what spins would you think would be best for someone who can't twist much

[@evilkitty11]

I imagine when I try this tomorrow, it's going to be incredibly helpful. :] You did a great job of explaining something that most instructional videos had difficulty with. I actually understood this! Thanks. :] Haha. Butt. :]

[@01ANGELCAT]

Took my brand new Battle II 5000 for a spin yesterday for the very first time and I hooked a 20lb yellowtail using a Ugly Stik X2 (medium hard) rod kzbin.infoUgkxM68VkfsQhHaabDce1IwOCXuvumcpbZ_k . This combo was recommended on some website and it did not disappoint me. The reel is smooth, the drag click is pretty cool cause i think it adds to the excitement of fighting the fish, personally the drag is my favorite part. I use braid and 300 yards will fill the entire spool. This combo is my main setup from now on although I have to disclose I am new to fishing.

[@tfayyad]

i was about to say the exact same thing!! brilliant!

[@psyche027]

This video is excellent! Breaks it down so well!

[@taylormoore3817]

very helpful for transitions! Thanks a ton

[@mikkamon]

you are really good at explaining poi dude! thanks for the vids! :)

[@hooprageous]

Yay! brain porn! I brought some poi yesterday, I haven't played with poi for 16 years (I don't think there were KZbin tutorials back then!!) now I can watch one of these and learn something new every time :) Thank you :) XXXXX

[@Mountainbears]

Love those pants, Nick!

[@AlienJon]

Synchronicity! Burning Dan and I have been using a similar approach to be used in Flow Temple classes. But seriously Nick, what we all really want to see is more advanced 'butt' spinning!!! :-P That "use your butt" thing cracked me up (but it's so true). Costa Rica is gonna rock!!

[@pranksterprince15]

the rainbow and the swinging butt xD you look soooo happy shaking your butt lol. thanks for making all these videos 5 point video really helped alot!

[@laylaynaing9527]

You are the best so far :) love all your vid Xx

[@sarahmason7485]

i just brought my first poi, i think u are quickly going to become my best friend..

[@willyboi619]

i can do the shoulder one well most of the time but other times they tangle up while behind my back. any tips?

[@iamspidermonkey]

Oh this is so brilliant! Its seriously playpoi for dummies like myself. :P Is this all covered inside your DVD?

[@AmnesiaVertigo]

For forward to backward behind the back, am I supposed to be 'stalling' the poi at the top of the arc behind my back during a forward spin and then moving it into a backward spin as I complete the turn?

[@JanJanco]

He is loving it! ^^ around 6min haha

[@kurisute]

Great video! Slow and simple. :)

[@Dornatum]

Thank you so much!

[@mamaganjah1]

excellent video!! i got it now :D

[@julialiewald212]

I think the poi I bought are not real ones.. is the string meant to be a little elastic? Mine is completely solid. Please help!

[@Caitydubbelyew]

Nope, it's not supposed to be elastic :)

[@playpoivideos]

It's a matter of preference. I think non-elastic are better!

[@9jubjubs]

My socks would be needlessly stretched out with out your videos. Thank you so much ^.^ Also, I love the way you say butt!

[@jitkapsenickova8083]

Amazing videos. Thank you! :) I can teach spining poi at home! :)

[@TCuddles]

my god i can not get the last move on this video where i am supposed to pretend im getting a low five. argghhhh

[@elitonne4813]

4 years later, have you figured it out?! I'm currently struggling with the same one haha

[@skowronkowyjarzmin]

Seeing it now, after few months of practice i think "i could have learned that easier"

[@jody802202]

how do i get the light poi?? i want to do this with my 8 year old but have only seen fire poi. please get back to me anyone who knows thx :)

[@emchanted13]

Jody Ramsay hey there! they sell LED poi (ones that light up in different colours) on ebay and also on site likes homeofpoi . com. The ones on ebay go for about $7 :) enjoy.

[@MrPhoenixMinistry]

Jody Ramsay The best poi available for your money are Podpoi. They run about $100, but they're extreme'y durable and made of soft silicone that is perfect for beginners
