Things have been busy down under! If you're not familiar with Aussie poi auteur Pineapple Pete, you should give a look to this fascinating video from a couple years ago showing off some of his experiments at the "Church of Poi".
Well, P2 is back and this time he's brought G along for the ride. G has been wowing us all for most of the past year with his fascinating take on plane-bending that has been a game-changer for how we think about stalls and zero points. When these two minds came together, they realized that the oldest plane-bending trick of all is also one of the simplest: the airwrap! What followed were two videos that explored this concept in addition to some of the weirdest takes I've ever seen on contact poi and a badass plane-bent weave that I demoed a couple weeks back myself. They've even been nice enough to include a blooper reel, so check it out :)

Thanks for posting these. Hadn't seen any of them before, and I was overjoyed to say the least. lol.
Also, the "Contact Poi" he was doing, seemed almost like hackey poi....not a real term, as far as I know, but it's what came to mind. Like he was doing hackey sack moves, crazy shit. Makes me look at my sock poi a little differently.
