i say Jamie Enns pl0x
best spinner out there who's not on a team
but i'm also in a favor of a new angle from him -

His spinning is a lot different when he uses his digi cam actually. He uses the webcam because it's convenient and his style looks different/unique with the webcam.
SJ would be pretty active in our team and he focuses a lot on style. His difficulty isn't high, but that's because of his concentration on style. He's also a 2 handed spinner.
Oh, and Jamie's the leader of some canadian team, but he doesn't seem to do much with it. -

Yeah, I realize that he uses the webcam for convenience, but when we make collabs or participate in battles and such, I'd kinda wanna see a better angle from him. Well, I'll talk to him about it on msn, I just added him there. (I'll wait for more people to give their opinion on jamie first before I actually offer him a spot)

arent the members on this team supposed to be somewhat friends with other members, not just good spinners?
i would suggest teotoko but hes already in catharsis :\ -

Hmm.. yeah, but I suppose if we talk to them frequently enough, that'd be fine. I'm kinda being flexible on that one =\

idk about keane, he got into spinning for a bit but then kinda phazed out again...
for jublyx, i think we need to see some videos before we can say anything xD
i think SJ is a decently active spinner, he's always asking me for help with things, which is good, so i would voter him
but i also nominate shonenbatman -

yeah..keane does that a lot ><
jublyx..yup, i know xD haha (wasn't he at the socal gathering? did you see how well he spun there?)
SJ, mhm yeah.. i really want SJ to be up there, but ughh, i just dont' feel like he's completely up to par with everyone else here =\ no offense to him >< i gotta see an update on his spinning though...
oh wow, yeah, shonenbatman, i completely forgot that i was thinking about adding him when i saw his recent clips----so he's a maybe too, but i dont' really talk to him (i'll put him up) -
Date: Tue, Jun 2 2009 23:23:24

i think you at that point is still better than the me now >.>''
But regardless, admitting people then and now are different. I looked for people with "potential" at that point, while now, I'm looking more for skill cause I don't want them to fall behind with everyone else's progression..if that makes any sense =\
For example.. this was the vid that got me to really consider Sankaku: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6WY5LlKX1s...yer_profilepage and no offense kaku, but if we saw someone with that kind of spinning now, I wouldn't consider them for this team (but that's only at this point... cause I chose you to give you 6 months to practice) =\
Hm...ranting on for too long, sorry
