Tell us a little about yourself

My name is Andrew, and I currently live in San Francisco. I moved to SF about three years ago from NYC. Shortly after getting to SF, I ran into a few flaggers at a street festival and was mesmerized! A few days later I was at the gym and to my surprise there was a whole class full of flaggers run by Xavier Caylor. I have been flagging ever since! Thanks, Xavier!

My History

How would you describe yourself as a flagger?

I would like to say that I am more of a dancer with flags, but since I have started learning poi, I feel that I have become more technical about the way I flag.
I like to vary my speed while flagging as well as vary my arm length and extensions, to draw the eye away and towards the body. I have recently been modifying poi moves for flags and have been enjoying incorporating isolations and stalls into my flagging.


What is it about flagging that you enjoy the most?

I would have to say there are two things that I really enjoy about flagging. One is the mental state of tranquility that I find only when I am lost in the music and in my flags. There is really nothing that can compare to that feeling for me, nor are they many ways to explain what I mean. The second thing I really enjoy is the counter balance of the flags pulling and extending my body as it whips around me, and the feel of the flags as they move along the body.
