Grabbed my POI this AM, popped in Donald Glaude, For the People, and after a quick warm up let it rip...was having a great time until I felt my index finger getting a bit "burned". I was spinning in my garage so I had to wrap the dog chain. I figured I was still good for a little while as long as I took it easy. Problem being, DG has a way of making me forget I'm supposed to take it easy. Was having a damn blast until I felt a rip on my finger, now I've got a pretty nice open sore .

Guess I can take advantage and practice some liquid and digitz huh?

On a positive note, the things I've been working on were coming together from the dance, not just from a stand-still. If I can get at least a couple of these little flow sessions in per week, in addition to my regular bit-by-bit practice, I'll be pretty smooth with all of the new stuff in about a month or so.

Added bonus, was able to throw in a couple of Isos into the mix, nothing fancy, but isos nonetheless. It felt "right" pulling out of a rev 5 bt and damned if they just didn't work. They are actually easier with the poi and chain...


Peace out.

the dog chain?? thats your prob lol.

i usta use these shitty little cord strings that come with the LED sticks from walmart.. those would tear my shit up!! i suggest gettin some shoe strings or some other kinda string. dude isos are great nonetheless lol. hard as fuck to do but sooooooo sexy! ive been doin em from a reverse 5bt weave, and while coming out from the right side ill turn to the left and set the isos right there then trans into a forward 5bt. shits gnarly!

gotta love those blisters. they really do hurt bad. but on the positive gettin better at your poi and bein smooth. thats geat to hear

[Dazed]

Glowfect, I only use the dog chain for the Poi, otherwise it's lanyards or leashes with finger attachments. The way you describe it is exactly how it happened, just felt right and it went smooth for a couple spins...

Kinkstar, it's totally worth it. I've been a big slacker so it's nice to be upping my game

[kinkstar]

yea i have been slackin a lot here lately and i need to get back to goin again and gettin moves down.

its like i am stuck right now and cant figure anything out.

Awww....that sucks dude! I hate blisters. I used to get em really bad when I first started glowsticking. Then it was a 'party only' thing when I would string for hours. I still get em from time to time when I really go balls to the wall, but my fingers are pretty tough now. It is a HUGE buzz kill though!

As far as Donald Glaude goes....he's a bad ass...plain and simple. I've seen him spin live a couple times and he's INSANE. The guy actually got down on the fader between decks with his MOUTH and was rocking it out hardcore, back and forth....dreds flailing. It was RIDICULOUS! So I can understand you going crazy to his beats.

I used to blister up pretty bad alot when i started out, also got some nasty full ring blisters from my glove/orbit setup, now if i get a blister, ill throw on a band aid and a pair of cheap gloves from the 99 cent store and ill be fine till it heals up, my fingers have become calliced now so its not much of an issue, but i still do get new blisters from time to time

[Dazed]

The stupid thing is, I never get blisters...even at Ultra, not a one. Although, spinning dog chain makes it a little different.

DG is one of those guys that "gets it". He's a regular on the "Groove Cruise" which sails out of Miami for a weekend of trance on the open ocean. The wife and I have been wanting to get on that, mainly to hang with him, for the last couple years, but it has not panned out yet.
