January 8, 2010 | 1 Comment
We spent a little bit of time in an ex CIA spy station making a short film last year. It was a really fun film to make and we just got the great news that it came first in the 2009 COL competition. We just wanted to share the happy news, plus give you all a link for 15% off should you want to go get the DVD. It’s got all of the best entries from this years competition and helps Home of Poi with bandwidth. WIN!!!

There will be an awesome spinning and manipulation event in Melbourne on the 15th to the 17th of January, thanks to the hard work of Chris Carlos & friends. Thought I would let folks know that there are 30 early bird tickets available, but just untill the end of October, so be quick!
There is an excellent line up of confirmed teachers there, looks like a great chance for anyone wanting to give their skills a monster hit!

Sebastian Bergers staff manipulation performance at EJC 2008, Karlsruhe / Germany. I’ve been meaning to post this for ages. Great non fire routine, it’s both light and at the same time very tech.
