Tips and Tricks with Daddy #1 - The Gunslinger!

[@BlueCubb7]

This was one of the greatest poi tutorials I have ever seen...

[@blackberrybunny]

God, I love you! You are so much fun! Please make more videos Jonathan!

[@cy290]

fr im weak 😂😂

[@mikhailreshetnikov3236]

With adding a couple of new simple elements in our collection and with making us smile while watching this video, you sir made this world a little better.

[@tracerammo]

Dude. This is by far the most entertaining tutorial ever! Thanks! Left me a grinnin'.

[@aneeshmenon5885]

I know there is no "best" spinner in the world. But you are the best for me. My greatest inspiration to become a better spinner. Keep at it god bless you :)

[@FlowDaddy92]

You have completely made my night. You have no idea. It's been a rough day at work and it's hard to give up time from things you love. This message gives me faith

[@seanp2k]

This made me smile a lot. You're certainly an entertaining individual with a great personality :)

[@ChrisRovo]

I like how you get into this move from a dead stop. I always used them from throws and wibbles. I called them flourishes ya know like the club juggling move. You've taken the concept to a whole new level though so I think I'll take to calling them gunslingers as well. Awesome tutorial man. Definitely the most entertaining I have seen. Cheers!

[@mettwurstjochen]

Honestly ive never seen a better tutorial... Im amazed and crying and again amazed.

[@PyrusPerformer]

What a fun video. I like the different views you switch between. Nicely done!

[@buddhapoi]

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SINCE I SAW YOUR POD POI VIDEO! THANKS!!!

[@GabrielFord]

This is so creative :) Thank you for sharing. I'm feeling the similarity to hand rolls with Chucks. Cheers to you.

[@killerskincanoe]

nearly cried multiple times... fantastic video... keep sharing!

[@JesseBowen1]

great tutorial!! thanks for sharing duder, its been so awesome watching your progression throughout the years, you have really blossonmed into such an amazing spinner!

[@victorbelo2575]

Thanks dude for the tutorial! awesome move btw, will try to practice the gunslinger and try to incorporate with my flow! will wait for your other tips. Keep on spinning!

[@HerbalKnowledge]

hilarious and i actually learned! cant wait for a new video! you have a lot of potential with all of your videos :) much love

[@samisahobo]

loved it! i have been putting it into my opposites wall plane flowers on the side petals! great tutorial! please post more! :)

[@FlowDaddy92]

Thank you! That's what I'm going for ;) I figured the more angles you guys have, the easier it is to get a grasp of the move :)

[@frakydo]

thank you for posting this! ive seen you doing this move in other videos of yours but you were always doing it so fast that i could never figure out exactly how you were doing it. its really not that complicated or difficult now that youve broken it down and i definitely plan on adding this move to my flow. thanks again. and btw, i thought the scars on your hand(s) looked kickass.

[@exoflowlite]

Don't stop man, you're very good to explain !

[@FlowDaddy92]

I've not played with meltdown slinging, but I've played with a lot of behind the head and tracers. Recently fell in love with floor plane slinging!

[@mertman1]

Haha that’s some funny stuff. Cool whole new meaning to Slinging

[@Hebsparks]

"This is ma-frickin-jestic right now...." This is EPIC -- please continue.

[@tylerripaldi7881]

Honestly this was a nice refreshing change from Drex tutorials.

[@djNRkey]

the style of your videos are awesome!

[@henryvargaspineda3015]

No no no! Thanks to you for sharing,I've seen other tutorials but you're very ingenuous hehehe, I'm gonna Patrice it. Bye teacher!

[@Tattys_by_Trent]

[@samisahobo]

[@AntiCliche]

[@TheDoctorNocturne]

I love Gunslingin'! Glad to see it's got a name :)

[@scottpena6666]

This is GOLD hilarious and a great tutorial :)

[@css09c]

Man this just made my night! Where have you been brother? The community misses you!

[@MasterSergio2]

Single greatest Tutorial of ALL time!

[@FlowDaddy92]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your support!

[@CrystallineCancer]

This is freakin majestic right now!

[@SolidSnake420209]

Funny, I've been pretty much doing those forward spiral gunslingers and didn't even know it... Hard to figure out the like weave after it though -_-...

[@FlowDaddy92]

Exactly! I feel like some people were "let down" to see how easy the approach is for this move. But it isn't about this move, as much as it is about the theory of what you can do behind it. I'm much more into the flowing and fun aspect of spinning. I don't like robot spinners. XD As always, it is a pleasure speaking with you! I'm glad you enjoyed this move!

[@superdannyj]

It is a little weird calling yourself daddy, but love the trick, and the blooper, good work, man...peace and love!

[@FlowDaddy92]

I got these from Home of Poi. These are the 100mm pendulum poi set with silicone balls. Best poi I've ever spun!

[@cvaldes__]

LMFAOO!! This video is absolutely epic!

[@cannaman4206]

Thank you dude this really helped me clear things up

[@mistrlampshade]

=) i caint wait fou the next tutorial. this is just great! love this

[@FlowDaddy92]

Heck yeah! Can I see them somewhere? ;)

[@FlowDaddy92]

I got these Poi from Home of Poi! This is their 100mm pendulum poi with silicone handles. My favorite poi to date :)

[@JaviAirhead]

Love it! You are an inspiration :)

[@TheJosh_Cross]

You are my hero! Where did you get those poi? I need to get a good pair of practice poi so that I can stop breaking my flowlights! Thank ya kindly partner!

[@FlowDaddy92]

:D Thank you!

[@SawyerPlaysWithFire]

Best poi tutorial ever.

[@ChrisRovo]

Dude no worries at all. I stole the idea from seeing somebody doing flourishes with clubs at the prop box 4 or 5 years ago and was like damn that will definitely work with poi. You worked it out yourself. I've got no plans for FD at the moment and things aren't looking to promising. Holy shoot I totally remember meeting you at WF! I never have put it together until you mentioned your mom but damn your right! It seems like that was so long ago... :)

[@jaxonAKAjclown]

im so glad u made a tutorial on this. it made me laugh and this trick is crazy. love your podpoi videos btw i got mine last night is gunslinging alot harder with them?

[@bradandjace]

i love you hAhahah. for real your super talented and funny as hell man

[@sephi1204]

Thank you for sharing such great tutorials! Btw is there any chance that you show up at the EJC this year?! ^^

[@rudyangulo]

These are called contact poi or pendulum poi. Most of these are an 80mm contact juggling ball attached to a length of nylon rope with a PX3 juggling club handle. I got mine for around 40 bucks with shipping. Quite honestly, this video inspired me to get them. :)

[@AlienJon]

Yup, there are tons of 'em here in Hong Kong! I dunno man, they all look pretty tough over hear... are you sure you can take em only slingin 2 poi... maybe you need a 3rd. >_^

[@zevubu]

I want to see the videos the opening clips are from. Where can I find them?

[@Pastoullio]

same here. :) i acually tried to make some myself. i made 2 sets ( i experimented with different kinds of balls and handles) and kept my budget under 20€'s.

[@shallowe]

Wish I could have been there for the filming of this lol Im sure there were many moments like it. Great tutorial though, im still working on it.

[@regohk]

Nice vid man,haha👍🏻😁

[@jujubeanser]

how about some bth/tracer style gunslingin'? or some utl gun slingin'? meltdown gunslingin?

[@pkboudpk]

You sir, you is a feckin legend. This is very helpfull to me 🤙

[@TheMarioparty6]

i dont poi but is it possible to do the same thing with glowsticks

[@coleydrew]

wow, this was amazing

[@technicaldifficultysupport]

Well that was amazing.

[@congasious]

Ninja cowboy! keep it flowing :)

[@Pastoullio]

and what length would you recommend?

[@VegaEtereo]

excellent tutorial bro, thanks! :D

[@JoffJk]

so far as I can see you only do half of the move stalling out rather than doing a propeller back to the handle I think it's a nice move that way especially with the spiral version. But then I prefer a full propeller any way

[@FlowDaddy92]

Thank you, Mitchell!

[@FlowDaddy92]

There's a definite similarity, you're totally right! :D

[@FlowDaddy92]

Thank you so much, Jesse! It means a lot hearing that from you! Are you going to FD2013?

[@ImTheOnlyMemzia]

I just love this intro

[@astronomik4547]

Is the length of the poi equal to your hand to elbow length? Also, how are you doing this with uneven weight:\ this is my bane right now with my contact poi

[@JaviAirhead]

"...i wish i could spin poi like johnathan alvarez" lol

[@FlowDaddy92]

Rudy, you are so kind!

[@FlowDaddy92]

Thank you, Brad! :) I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@RexSmealAnimation]

I need to get my hands on some real poi to try this (i.e. not coke cans or oranges in plastic bags) Kinda want to see the full version of the kung fu parody clips we see in the opening, no chance of a link?

[@FlowDaddy92]

I definitely will! Show me some videos of what you're playing with! I would love to see! I'll be posting more in the future

[@badassfirespinners]

ahhhhhhh, watch where you're pointing that thing!

[@FlowDaddy92]

YOU'RE WONDERFUL!

[@FlowDaddy92]

Lmao, I wish I didn't cut it so short. I was so embarrassed about me messing up that I didn't realize how funny it made it turn out

[@myles817able]

the gunslinger grip is pretty awesome, and it's really not hard to learn! it just sucks that there's no real point in it unless your handles have weight on the to counterbalance the poi. i practiced it with my poi which have no weight and it's kind of fun, it just doesn't really give a different look to it when the handles is just flailing mindlessly

[@jujubeanser]

omg this is wonderful

[@Laxe84]

Is this possible with longer string? It looks like your poi string is short compared to mine?

[@EmilyYoga_and_Pilates]

yes!!! best tutorial ever

[@FlowDaddy92]

Thank you!

[@FlowDaddy92]

Thank you so much! :)

[@denizerol1]

haha that intro is hilarious

[@Pastoullio]

what are these type of poi's called? :)

[@FlowDaddy92]

Thank you so much! I will :)

[@patrickirme8238]

heyy amigo puede subir nuevos trucoss porfavor!!

[@FlowDaddy92]

There's more to come! :D

[@nellie8447]

So cool

[@FlowDaddy92]

Thank you, and respect!

[@CallousCnidarian]

After seeing this and your poikemon video, you've definitely gotten me interested in getting a pair of contact poi. What kind do you use? Also, how old are you? Your skill is amazing.

[@FlowDaddy92]

Thank you :)

[@FlowDaddy92]

Thank you, Javier

[@FlowDaddy92]

Baileyyyy!! Yeah, I hadn't seen you do it before, so I hope I don't come across as a punk having named the move and all. I just thought the video and move idea went together so hilariously. Will you be attending FD2013? You were the highlight of my WildFire back in the day, when my mom had to introduce me to you XD
