Thought I would share two videos that I have made recently. Both of them are not yoyo, but they are two flow toys that greatly inspire me to yoyo, and find new ways of thinking. First, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\_1Nexil6aZs](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1Nexil6aZs) Poi is a huge mind opening element as it provides so much more freedom of movement than yoyoing, but within this experience, I have been able to bring more movement and flow into my yoyoing. Huge impact.

My poi and 5A play is also impacted by this. Just another element of expression. Anyways, thought I would share. _bark!_ Haru ---

Not a big fan of Poi in general, but the Astrojax was amazing! ---

> [@andy569](#): > > Astrojax looks fun 🙂 … And painful 😃 haha Nah, only if you use the “V-max” sets. Aquas, Pluses, and the newer MXs are all decently soft.
