The fish swivel works very very well since they were designed to hold your hook. I swing fast and it hasnt bent yet

To the above post...I dont understand what your saying but it could be:
Arm Wraps: The poi wraps around your arm at a fast speed, once it reaches the end it will slowly come back, then you pull it so it can regain its speed.
Hyperloops: The poi wraps around itself-It requires alot of practice-This one is tricky and is best done with thicker poi(no string)
Also in 1 video i noticed a "Wrist wrap" where both strings wrap around your wrist(this creates a neat effect), similar to arm wraps.
Besides "Scooths" Vids, most of the other vids are pretty basic moves: Arms,Leg Wraps,Butterflys and weaves(Also the more advanced moves like Hyperloops and BackToBack moves)
i feel like im drunk or high or... something watching that... holy crap your good man.. but i just have to stare at it and daze lol <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

The moves where you wrap the strings together are kind of a pain. Took me a couple of tries how to do string wraps where you wrap the strings together lol. Good times.

The best way to do hyperloops is a long knee sock and a tennis ball at the end
