Poi Dancing Lesson: How to do Crossers (Intermediate) 

This video is 10 years old and I'm still learning from it. What a great teacher!

Nick, you've motivated all of my friends and myself. We love poi, in part, because you do. Of all the videos we've seen, you are the happiest poi dancer ever. Thanks a million.

You are a real inspiration, you are always so happy when you spin and I am just amazed at how much fun you have.

THANK U SO MUCH NICK!!! I was starting to think i would never be able to do this move but the way u explained it was most helpful to me! You're truly awesome!Thanks man u give me motivation to keep on doing poi! I just hope to be nearly as good as u someday lol.

grrrr you make it look so natural awesome stuff!

Arrrggg, you just make it look so simple!!! ur great, man. Hope I can make it in no time lol. Cheers from Mexico!!!

Awesome... thank you for enlightening my life with these moves.

that was seriously awesome - both as a tutorial and simply watching. Felt like you were going all matrix on me (esp at around 3.30)

Yay my request!!! THANKS!!

first off, i love you for explaining this on youtube. after seeing a friend flow, i wanted to learn, and now im trying to get crossers and spiral wraps. ive almost perfected hyperloops, and a few other moves. point is. i love poi, and it is possibly the most fun ive had in a long time next to expressing myself through dance. please keep playing and ill do the same. again, thankyou :)

How do you do those stalls that you are doing at second 35 of the video??? Those are blowing my mind xD

Oh Nick, thank you so much 🙏🏼!

thank you for great vid!!

from butterfly when its comming on the down beat cross your arms the left under your right arm then try swinging your body from right to left. hope this helps :)

I love the way you explain things. You help it click, Thank you. :)

I'm hooked, man this stuff is cool.

Thanks for the video. You are very helpful!

@crispbix we all hit the wall, those who get better are the ones who keep trying to climb the wall and eventually ascend it

Cuz one of Nick's tutorials are the 'isolations' and it's more possible with a heavier end (the glowsticks don't match up to it that much)..

wayyy harder than it looks

great instructional video, imam nail this move now xD cheers m8

great video thanks, u have mad skillz

You're the best, Meenik, thank you!::)

Sweeeeet. You're awesome so are the pants.

straightjackets are trickier, djsparrow has a good tutorial

A tip to you or anyone else having problems with crossers, I suggest getting comfortable doing weaves in wall plane. Pretty much, instead of turning your body when switching from forwards weave to reverse weave, just do it behind you and under your arm. This will get you used to crossing your arms.

Strait jackets are different from crossers. Straitjackets wud be like crossers but his left hand wud be tucked under his right armpit.

one thing he forgot to mention which is why i have trouble learning it. it is split time same direction correct? been spinning for about a year now. i wanna go pro so bad im trying to get my name out there and become better known little by little. im in advanced moves now just behind the back i cant do weaves, and this crosser revisiting it now that im more experienced i SEE how to do it ^_^

nice! dude i still cant mangage to get this down lol :/ ill get it soon. ima try and practice it all day today lol

i cant get over.. hits my head. grrrrrrrrrr

sick pants, dude.

I've got to try. :)

I know this is a stupid question but, what does a poi mean EXACTLY? tnx to anyone who can lighten this up for me. ^^

thank you.

@crispbix do yourself a favor. Ascend the brick wall. I can't do this yet and I can do the BTB 3 beat weave (inverse)

nick, can you do one on waist wraps? :)

Can't get this to save my life

ok, watching you makes me feel like a pansy, lol. you're super talented

it's all about your motor skills im fat and i can do it...it's jst harder to do and learn you have to exersise your motor skills even more than usuall jst like btb you got to work at it

Thank you for this (:

I can do crossers for about 6 months now, but I have never been able to do a 360 turn with it :( is there a secret to that?

Keep hitting myself in the face réally hard >

I love thanks you :)

Quick suggestion for those with glasses: Take them off.

nick is the shiz and a hell of a nice guy! took a couple of lessons from him in costa rica at Envision fest earlier this year and hung out w/ him afterward,,,super nice guy! how anyone could relate or call him a d___ has some personal problems?

is that your only pair of pants?

any tips for meltdowns?

can you do that with fire poi? and veil poi?

Can you please do five beat weave tutorial ??

dude, how much spare time do you have????

Mastery

Adn yes that's exactlly what i ment!!!

if you mean the word poi it means "ball"

the way you smile, you either really enjoy doing this OR are on drugs. i hope the first applies only ;-) however, I (in my case) enjoyed watching this movie (without drugs :P)

@halfbakedbagle yes it is possable :)

nice cap :D!

@halfbakedbagle cuz when i poi play i hit my self in the face alot!

Theeeeeere are those 2007 pants.
