    Cyrille was amazing,
    Meast put on an intense display of badassery too.
    Rovo with the ridiculous meteor action

    Some of my favorite moments came while exchanging moves with other spinners.
    It was great when we could come up with variations of each others ideas that we'd never seen in less than 5 minutes.

    There were numerous amazing spinners of all types, so I'll stick to the never known existed and were like who the fuck is that?

    I'll throw out Kevin Axtell. I saw him do small bits of contact juggling w/ and w/o fire, diablo, poi, and clubs. Every performance was just long enough to impress, but short enough to leave you wanting more. Amazing 'stage' persona and humorous in a dry fashion. Compelling to watch and made me awaken to what is often not discussed in the tech poi arena. Facial expressions, body movement, and following the musical beat. Boy what a difference it made.

      as a performer, Kevin rocked my world more than anyone i saw all weekend, and for poi spinning and tech poi (per this tribe name), it was G for me. beyond a doubt.
