Hello and welcome. It's so good to see all these new users signing up.

Let's get to know each other a little better.

What's your name? Where are you from? What flowarts are you into?

I'll start. I'm Matt Terry, I'm from the uk but have lived out in New Zealand for 20 odd years. I got into poi in 2000 after seeing some spinners at burning man and having a deep sense of know how to do that.

I made a website called spherculism and posted heaps of videos and taught a lot of people to spin. I made a dvd called Sphercular Vision in 2005.

Settled down, built a house in NZ, had kids, worked as a web developer for 20 years whilst always thinking about the next iteration of the spherculism project. Finally the planets aligned and you're looking at the next phase of the project.

So let's get to know each other, what got you into the flowarts?

Hello everyone,

First time on a flow board. I'm from Vancouver area in BC Canada and been spinning poi since summer 2013 at my first burner event; Been hooked since then. Nick and Drex are my 2 biggest influence over the years.

Been learning contact staff for the last 2-3 years, still not controlling the staff very well but getting there slowly :)

Welcome aboard Francois. Vancouver seems like a great city, I only ever made it as far up the coast as Seattle and absolutely loved it.

I just started learning dragon staff and I'm so hooked, Stan is currently making a contact staff course and a dragon staff course.

I'd love to see you spin, got any youtube links or anything?
