Nice seeing your new stuff! Don’t think I’ve even seen footage of you throwing since 04 \> . \<

Love that you threw in poi also! Your different patterns are super spot on and lovely to see.  
Was curious how long your poi set is?  
I recently got into contact poi and have been using a pretty short set, and was wondering if using longer would be beneficial, or if it’s just personal preference.

Thanks for sharing!

Haru

wow thanks Haru, always slightly amazed when people remember me from back then 🙂

as to the poi Its entirely up to you, I measure mine from the tip of my middle finger to my elbow which I find perfect for getting those inside spins & flowers.  
I’m pretty much in agreement with this guy [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfqPBoVCt-0](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfqPBoVCt-0)

its a good length for tech spinners but thinks its fairly short compared to alot of other peoples e.g. when I was at the EJC a few weeks ago I saw quite a few people with 150mm+ balls and at least at metre of cord, makes all sorts of body wraps possible.
