This is my first real effort at a vid, using footage I shot ealier in the autumn. Lots of base tangles, throws/ wibbles and stalls. Lots of things wrong with it (footwork, 'flow', tall bloke standing still gangliness and lots of stuff not featured that I use lots now (long arm, inversions, anti-spin etc) but I'd like to think its worth a watch. If nothing else it gives me a reference point to work from

My first burn with the latest version of the all kevlar rope fire poi, intended to allow throws and wibbles etc.

Quality is fine unless you watch full screen- I couldn't be arsed to waste a week on encoding and Vista has lost all my old settings (Yakumo where are you know?

Just trying to get a feel for the new toys- longarm is a bit shoddy (can you tell I spin in my living room most of the time?

Hey dude
good to see you've done a new video
that is a very nice garden
unfortunately I keep on loosing the connection to your host, so I've only seen 10% of the video !!!
so more comments to come

Watched it a second time.


Beautiful

Olive- thats odd- you're the first to ever report problems with my hosting- Could anyone else experiencing problems getting the video let me know here.

Rovo- thanks i'm not sure I see it as beautiful- one day maybe

uhm..ok they didnt work for me either..

Very nice It's good to see some of that stuff actually in action, rather just reading wibble this and wibble that. thanks for sharing .

Good stuff there my friend - I can see you've been practising some more

loved it: I've always thought you have a nice clean spinning style dude, and I particularly liked the double throws!

In fact, that was so good that I'm going to express my support for you at this website

I doubt I'll ever truly escape the Aled Jones moinker- I found a picture of me when I was about 13, fully dressed in my choir robes looking like a little angel (yeah right). I was tempted to post it but figured it wouldn't do my anti-Aled campaign any good. Nevermind

Gayle: The dancey fluid spinning is what i've been concentrating on since not long after I shot the footage for that vid- I'm glad you liked it though

Niiiiicccce very nice video.....the kind of thing that kept me awake last night ....

just keep it going, very impressive man !

- Maelle

Comments gratefully recieved

I'm looking forward to seeing those throws in person when you're back in london

Also, to anyone else reading this thread - I've seen his nipples

ive licked his nipples

There was me thinking I'd got some handy feedback

You haven't licked my nipples Mech (at least not when I was conscious )

ello... that's a wicked vid! love the throws and the stalls, both uber clean and effortless despite the wind! an all the fast little changes. very sphercular spinning style you got there mr.c (reminds me of both matt and jon!) an with some nice personality thrown in too... an i definately liked the little foot flick towards the end!

i just wanna know what you were listening to at the time? was it the same track or something a bit more furious?

p.s. please post the photo... i won't laugh (much)... honest!

Dub- The picture will not see the light of HOP... well maybe one day, but it won't be soon

As for what i was listening to- hmmm it could have been quite a few things- i recorded quite a bit of footage that day, and there was anything from Dusted, Chemical Brothers through to Lemon Jelly and a few others. Dunno TBH- I tend to go for funky beaty but I allow myself the odd electronica indulgence (oo it might have been Hybrid/ Gravastar- I LOVE that tune- i'm saving it for a later vid though )

I am trying to slow myself down a bit and get rid of stumbly wanderings, but I don't think I'll ever be a truely graceful dancey type- I can dream

Thankyou for the feedabck dude I have been a little disheartened at the lack of comments, though its got lots of hits (I've had to buy more bandwidth twice )

I You Chutney.
Even if no one else does

i love chuckney, i love to abuse him

chuckney the knots you made in my poi, i had to take out, and now they are all poo!



come help me dude!

come to sheff, ill feed you and look after you for the w/e

Why did you have to take them out eh? WHY!?

Would love to pop up to Sheff, but moving house this week and will be working like a madman after that- new car might allow a flying visit sometime soon though

"moving house this week"

come to sheff when you can dude, ill cook for you and promise not to do a ben-ja-men to you (pinning you down and smearing choc mouse one your face)

Hey those are awesome, I love your flow, everything just runs together like it should. Given me loads of encouragement to stick at it now I've seen what can be done! So watch this space haha. Thanx Chut

Nice video

Given the look of concentration on your face and the speed at which you were spinning I doubt you had much time to devote to your dancing. I know when I spin that fast it's usually a matter of trying not to screw up, and I don't do throws, no let me rephrase that. I don't do catches.

There's some beautiful stuff in there, notably the double throws, and that really cool btb throw with a catch on your outstretched hand @ 2:10 or thereabouts. Ditto the foot flick.

Good job on leaving the screw ups in too, I liked the loose one poi but continue on with the other, The big throw was great too

BUMP- I have resolved a problem with my hosting so you can now get the old one if you hadn't already

New video due in the next few weeks hopefully

*Bumpity Bump*

New fire ropes vid showing, link in first post

fantastic!

"you one trick pony"

really liked that
(your new kevlar rope poi vid, downloading the others atm, not sure i've ever seen them)

Ooooooooo Mr C you are fabby. Only negative thing I see in both the fire and garden sock spinning it sometimes it looks like your left hand is playing the stooge to your right.

Other than that you are amazing... oh and you need to wiggle your bum more when your backs to the camera

Oh, there's Yakumo...

Skully: Yeah, both those vids do expose my right handed favouring- I do mix it up far more these days (since 'playing') but I am more confident with my right. It's probably worse in the fire vid because I was stood on the path next to the river, and I didn't fancy dropping one of my new toys in the drink

Chutters that was lush!

Smooth controlled spinning. Lovely lovely.

exactly what I was thinking of typing!

particularly the stalls and throws

yummy

case it wasn't clear I was laughing as you once said you were a one trick pony, and I think the vid's totally prove your not

love the other vids too, especially the from behind, through the legs throw in the other long vid.

No I remember the one trick pony thing- I still think I'm pretty samey (look for all the butterfly stuff in tht vid for example- blink and you'll miss it )

Thanks for the kind comments- I can't wait to make them dance better with a bit more practice

Testicles of the hound!

chutney can't watch it on the wii. i'll watch in the morning at work if there's not enough wiggling i'm going to have to you!

You're lovely, you are

One of your throws is gorgeous. I thought it was fab.

Sweet, more stuff to nick

With the amount I'm nicked from you I still doubt we're even close to even

Lots more to commit to film once I've had a bit more practice with them

Youtube link added for latest vid:)

... (Bump!) and another youtube link added for Playing..

See first post:)

I need to do more poi and be more of a tosser...

Heya Chutters

New vid posted- see first post

very nice. like some of the tricky combos you got ther

Loving your work as always dude!

Those poi look lovely to spin.. I want some!

Can't wait til the next installment

sweeet dude!

you rock chutters

you ruler chutney, nice

Woo - Wibble-tastic

Top-gun-stuff as always.

I like the shades

Nice stuff. Hmmm.... Maybe I should look at doing more catches, looks really cool.

wow, just seen the fire wibble video, and playing 2, cool stuff, that behind the back double relase to catch behind the back thingy is mental thanks for sharing

dude...I'm really looking forward to filming you. When are you in London next??

Ermmm. tomorrow but then.. let me know, i have reasons that make london a good idea
